Lived here for two years. Great apartment, great floor plan, and amazing staff at Yugo Rio. Big shoutout to Joseph S. and team for always taking care of my roommates and I.
Incredible customer service. I love how attentive and welcoming the staff is. Really glad I moved into a place that considers my wellbeing!
Austin has created a scheme to help students who receive needs-based financial aid. The Safe, Mixed-Income, Accessible, Reasonably Priced, Transit-Oriented (SMART) Housing program is made to support students who need some extra help to live in the city.
You can qualify if you are considered to have a low-to-moderate income, which means whoever is paying for housing makes 50-60% of the median Austin income. You will need to prove this with a W2, 1040, a letter from your employer, or 3 previous pay stubs.
If you receive need-based financial aid, you may also automatically qualify.
Please contact us for more information about qualifying for SMART Housing and applying it to your application.
Austin Rio has just achieved Fitwel Viral Response Certification, with the Center for Active Design providing us with third-party certification of the policies & practices we have put into place to mitigate the spread of contagious diseases within buildings. The Viral Response Certification demonstrates our commitment towards creating healthy and resilient environments for all of our occupants!
We’re proud to participate in the City of Austin’s SMART Housing program to help make high-quality living more accessible. Our SMART Housing floorplans offer the same high-end amenities and community perks you love, but at a reduced rate for students who meet the city’s income guidelines.
Ready to see if you qualify? Check out our SMART Housing Guide for everything you need to know to apply.
As part of our commitment to making your living experience worry-free, our Damage Waiver Program is included for a monthly fee of $15 and covers up to $100,000 in qualified damages to the property—when caused accidentally by you, your occupants, or guests.*
*This program does not cover personal belongings and is not a renter’s insurance policy. We always recommend carrying renter’s insurance to protect your valuables.
Furnishing options vary by unit. We recommend contacting us prior to move-in for details

We will do our best to match you with roommates that meet your needs.
The roommate matching form is now part of the application process. Once completed, a leasing specialist will review your responses and pair you with the most suitable roommates based on your profile.
Our social media is also a great way to connect with potential roommates!
Individual leasing offers peace of mind for both parents and students.
With an individual lease, you're only responsible for your student's space — not the entire apartment like a traditional joint lease. Common areas such as the living room and kitchen are shared equally among all roommates.
Our term lease runs from a specific start date to a specific end date for a single flat fee, conveniently split into 12 monthly installments.
