The prices include the charges already bundled into each listing. Those bundles differ: some include insurance or rent reporting you may be able to replace or remove. They are advertised prices, rather than a promise that every required charge is covered.

The lowest price is a place to start asking for a quote. Room availability, approval, and your final contract price still need to be confirmed.

## Why can the bill be higher than the listing?

At Moontower, the advertised total includes a credit program and a damage waiver whose terms depend on the contract. At Rambler, the default total includes risk mitigation that can be waived with qualifying insurance and rent reporting you can opt out of. Removing a program may mean paying for a separate policy.

Other costs have no firm price yet. Axis lists a Green Fee and liability coverage without amounts; Rise leaves some required fees unquoted. Ask the leasing office to price those gaps before comparing your final quotes.

We recalculated the saved property prices and fee pages on October 28, 2026. The prices used here were checked between October 22 and 26. We chose the lowest listed private bedroom at each building with a 2027–28 price and 12 confirmed payments, leaving out windowless rooms, restricted offers, sold-out rooms, and seasonal contracts. This compares each building’s starting price, rather than every room on the market.

Four other listings were left out: Villas on Guadalupe needs its loft enclosure and assigned bedspace confirmed; Signature 1909, The Standard at Austin, and The Mark have conflicting saved prices. Summer co-op prices and nine-month dorm contracts are separate choices and are not in this comparison. Prices are shown in whole dollars; the download keeps the cents used in the calculations.
