A note on how we describe neighborhoods

Austin Rental Concierge is committed to the federal Fair Housing Act and NAR's Code of Ethics. We describe neighborhoods by objective, verifiable characteristics — location, transit, parks, grocery, rent ranges, school district assignment — and never by protected class such as race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, disability, or source of income. We do not rate schools or make safety characterizations. If you have specific questions about a community, ask us directly and we will share the underlying data so you can decide for yourself.
