Searching for the right rental in the Outdoor Capital of Texas does not have to mean wading through outdated listings on your own. One Place Locators connects renters with vetted communities across Buda, TX at no cost to you. Call (737) 530-9067 today to get started.
The city has grown from roughly 2,400 residents in 2000 to more than 16,000 today, with Hays County itself ranking as one of the fastest-growing counties in the country and adding roughly 10,700 residents annually since 2020. Most rental inventory sits along the I-35 corridor and within master-planned communities that began breaking ground in the early 2000s, with newer mid-rise apartment properties such as The Luxe, Silverado Crossing, and Carrington Oaks concentrated near Loop 4 and FM 967 in zip code 78610. Our team works directly with leasing offices to surface current pricing, real-time availability, and concession packages through direct leasing-office relationships.

Renters working with our apartment locators find a broad mix of housing options that suit nearly every budget and lifestyle. Average rent for a one-bedroom currently sits near $1,300, while two-bedroom layouts typically run around $1,750 and three-bedroom homes average roughly $2,150, depending on the property and concessions. The market here ranges from entry-level workforce housing to upscale apartment communities with ten-foot ceilings, wide plank flooring, and resort-style amenity decks.
Several newer developments along the I-35 corridor offer aggressive concession packages tied to ongoing Hays County growth, including reduced administrative fees and weeks of free rent on select floor plans.
The reasons families and professionals choose this part of Hays County come into focus quickly once you visit. The city sits roughly fifteen miles south of downtown Austin along I-35, with most commutes running thirty to forty minutes outside peak hours, though northbound traffic tightens considerably between SH-45 and US 290 during morning rush.
Major employers within the city limits include Cabela's flagship 185,000-square-foot retail location, an Amazon distribution center, US Foods, Four Hands, Deep Eddy Vodka, Texas Lehigh Cement, and Nighthawk Frozen Foods, giving residents genuine job options without crossing the county line.
The local employment base continues to diversify alongside steady residential development. Hays Consolidated Independent School District covers 221 square miles across 26 campuses and remains one of the largest local employers, while Texas State University in nearby San Marcos enrolls more than 44,600 students and supports a strong regional talent pipeline.

Our coverage spans every part of the city, from the historic six-block downtown district along Main Street to the master-planned communities tucked west of I-35. Many of the rental developments built since 2010 sit within Sunfield, Garlic Creek, and the Whispering Hollow corridor, while older single-family rentals cluster closer to Original Town and the Cabela Drive retail district.
