Furnished Rooms for Rent in Austin, TX
A furnished room in one of our shared homes means the bedroom is set up before you arrive, and so are the kitchen, living room, and dining area. Our furnished rooms are in Caballo Blanco (East Austin) and Chapala (Manor), at $800 to $1,000 a month, plus a utilities share that’s typically $100 to $150.
They’re rented directly by the owners, with utilities and internet already running and shared spaces cleaned every month. If you’re flying in for a new job or an internship, you can move in with a suitcase.

What comes with a furnished room?
Every furnished bedroom comes with a bed frame, a mattress, and a nightstand, with a queen or king bed. Some rooms also have a dresser or a desk, so ask us and we’ll confirm what’s in the room you’re looking at. Bring your own sheets, comforter, pillows, and towels. Everything you share with housemates is furnished in every one of our homes: the living room with a smart TV, the dining area, and a kitchen with a refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher. Each home also has its own washer and dryer and high-speed internet, so there’s nothing to buy, rent, or set up on day one.
Chapala, in Manor, is the home to look at first if you want a furnished room: all five of its bedrooms are furnished, and it has a large covered back patio. At Caballo Blanco in East Austin, some bedrooms are furnished, and housemates share a game room, a big backyard, and the neighborhood pool.
Should I pick a furnished or unfurnished room?
Pick a furnished room if you’re moving from out of state, staying for a set term, or would rather not spend your first weekend in a furniture store. Pick an unfurnished one if you already own a bed you like or plan to stay for years. Unfurnished bedrooms cost a little less each month, and you’ll find them among our other rooms for rent in Austin.
Either way, compare the full first-year cost, not just the rent. Buying a bed, desk, and dresser for an empty room adds up quickly, and our guide to renting a room vs an apartment walks through those numbers.
Who rents a furnished room?
In our experience, people moving to Austin who need a room quickly tend to pick a furnished one, especially those coming for an internship or co-op. There’s no furniture to buy or ship, so you can sign, fly in, and start work. These guides help with the rest of the move:
- Interns and co-ops: our intern housing guide covers lease terms and budgeting on intern pay.
- Travel nurses: see drive times to Austin’s hospitals from each of our homes.
- Contractors on a project: our contractor housing guide compares rooms with extended-stay hotels.
If you want a whole furnished place to yourself instead, Furnished Finder is the usual site, though it costs far more: a furnished one-bedroom there ran about $2,200 a month in October 2026. Our Furnished Finder guide compares the two.
Frequently asked questions
Which of your homes have furnished bedrooms?
Every bedroom at Chapala in Manor is furnished, and so are some at Caballo Blanco in East Austin. Our other two homes, Arborside in North Austin and Mary Lewis in South Austin, have unfurnished bedrooms, but their kitchens and living areas are furnished like every home.
How much does a furnished room cost?
Our furnished rooms rent for $800 to $1,000 a month on a year-long lease. Your share of utilities, internet, and monthly cleaning of shared areas is typically $100 to $150 a month on top of that. A furnished bedroom costs slightly more than a similar unfurnished one.
What furniture comes in a furnished bedroom?
Every furnished bedroom comes with a bed frame, a mattress, and a nightstand, and the bed is either a queen or a king. Some rooms also have a dresser or a desk. Ask us about the room you’re looking at and we’ll confirm exactly what’s in it.
Do furnished rooms include bedding and towels?
No. Bring your own basics: sheets, a comforter, pillows, and towels. Everything else in the bedroom is set up for you.
Can I rent a furnished room for an internship?
Yes. Furnished rooms are a good fit for internships and co-ops because there’s nothing to buy or move, and our 3-month minimum lease covers most programs. If yours is a little shorter, reach out and we’ll see what we can do.
