Rio Grande Square Apartments Location

Rio Grande Square Apartments gives renters a West Campus location near UT Austin, campus services, restaurants, and daily conveniences.
One-bedroom, zero-roommate off-campus student housing in Austin. For students looking for a space to call their own, look no further than the spacious one-bedroom student housing near the UT Austin campus.  Without drifting too far from the heart of campus, you can stay close to the necessities and remove yourself from the action needed to better focus on your studies—a good option for independent students. They have already lived on or off-campus for a year.

Rio Grande Square is a locally managed, 17-unit student housing center in Austin. An apartment complex located at the corner of Rio Grande and 28th street. Surrounded by condominiums, dormitories, fraternity houses, and sorority houses, the property is only four blocks from the UT Austin campus and Guadalupe street.  The best part of living in the one-bedroom student housing apartments of Rio Grande Square, however, is that space is entirely your own. Host guests, stay in for a night of studying, or relax while watching your favorite TV show — the choice is yours. And with a full kitchen, large closets, and a parking spot included with every unit, you’ll find both convenience and comfort in your new one-bedroom home.

Off-Campus Student Housing Neighborhood

West Campus is a walkable student housing neighborhood and is known for students living off-campus. On Guadalupe is where you’ll find a variety of restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, and boutiques. From pancakes to queso, late-night plates from the nearby Kerby Lane Cafe have been an Austin favorite since the early 1980s. Improve your morning commute to class with an old-school donut from Ken’s Donuts. Or opt for the Texas classics of Whataburger and Torchy’s Tacos after class — all easily accessible when you live in Rio Grande Square.

When it’s time to work off those taco calories, head down to Shoal Creek Greenbelt Park on the west campus, for both hikers and runners, these shady trails are perfect for distance and taking in marquee views of the city. Eastwoods Neighborhood Park is also easily accessible—a 15-minute walk — and full of tennis courts, picnic tables, and plenty of open wooded areas for playing frisbee.

1 PARKING PERMIT included per bedroom.
