Texas, TX

Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio keep delivering large purpose-built communities, which gives renters real negotiating room and a lot of near-identical amenity packages to compare. Commute distance, flood history and electricity plans often matter more than the finish level inside the unit.
