Adobe Intern Community Guide - Austin

WELCOME TO AUSTIN

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR INTERNSHIP WITH ADOBE! We are so excited you will be joining us soon. Austin is an amazing and diverse community with tons of activities to do and places to see. There are so many perks to living in the heart of Texas – access to new people, culture, food and technology but with that comes the challenge of finding affordable housing. Rental home and apartment prices tend to be high in Austin, so we recommend finding a roommate/housemate to split the cost of housing and utilities. Figure out where you want to live and get started on the search as early as you can. We have compiled some information together for you to help get you oriented with your internship location. We wish you luck in your housing search! WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT RENTING IN AUSTIN Located in Central Texas on the eastern edge of the American Southwest, Austin is the fourth-largest city and capitol of the state. The city is the cultural and economic center of the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metropolitan area. Austin prides itself on its creativity and embraces its community of artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, and progressive thinkers. It is home to more than 3,800 high-tech companies. According to Forbes magazine, Austin is the third-fastest growing city in the U.S., attracting large numbers of expatriates, college graduates, and families with young children.

Availability for both apartments and single-family homes remains limited. Nicer homes may receive multiple offers, so landlords and property management companies can be very selective.
