How do I find a place to live in Austin?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"If you are looking for a place to live in Austin, there are a few options to consider. You can start by researching online for rental listings in the area. Websites such as Zillow, Trulia, and Craigslist are great resources for finding rental properties. Additionally, you can contact a local real estate agent who can help you find a place that fits your needs. You can also look for apartment complexes in the area and contact them directly to inquire about availability.
