Second Chance Apartments in Manor
Shadowglen homes, the US-290 complexes, Presidential Meadows townhomes. Screening out here is more forgiving than anywhere inside the city, and your budget goes further than you'd expect.
Tired of Rental Denials in Manor?
These are the four pain points we hear every day, and the reasons renters lose money before we ever get the call.
Denied Again and Again
Bad credit, a broken lease, or an old eviction is sinking every application. The fees are gone for good.
Wasted Application Fees
$50 here, $100 there. You can't keep paying non-refundable fees at properties that automatically reject your file.
Move-In Pressure
You've got 48 hours, a week, maybe two. You need an approval, not another rejection letter.
Embarrassed to Explain
You shouldn't have to relive a hard year over and over. You need someone who handles it without judgment.
Inside the Manor Rental Market
Austin Second Chance Team serves Manor renters across east Travis County. Manor rental options in 2026 range from Shadowglen single family homes to US-290 corridor apartment complexes and Presidential Meadows townhomes.
Manor sits in Travis County on US-290, about 15 miles east of Downtown Austin. The SH-130 toll provides a faster alternative that cuts the commute to under 20 minutes while avoiding I-35 congestion entirely. Rental pricing here runs below central Austin and below most suburban markets on the north and south corridors, which makes the 3x-income calculation easier for renters with limited or fluctuating income.
The rental inventory spans newer single family homes in Shadowglen and Presidential Meadows, apartment complexes along the US-290 corridor, duplexes near Manor Town Center, and townhomes closer to the Elgin Road corridor. Several properties review applications individually, particularly for renters who can demonstrate current income stability. Manor ISD draws families looking for east-metro school options without central Austin pricing.
Looking for an apartment locator near you in Manor? Austin Second Chance Team pre-screens east Travis County properties so renters with past credit issues, broken leases, or evictions apply only where they will be approved, saving application fees and time.
If a past denial is holding you back, our second chance apartment locating service matches renters in Manor with bad credit, broken leases, or evictions only to properties that approve those situations, at no cost to you.
Why Manor Screening Runs Looser Than Austin
Manor sits far enough east that it never caught the Austin rent spike, and the management companies out here never picked up the screening habits that came with it. That’s the honest reason your odds are better here than eleven miles west. Income documentation carries more weight. Credit carries less. And more of the decisions still get made by a person.
Work drives most of our Manor placements. Tesla Giga Texas is about fifteen minutes down SH-130, which makes Manor one of the shortest commutes to that plant of anywhere with rental inventory. Samsung in Taylor runs about twenty five minutes the other way on the same toll. ABIA is a straight shot south. If you work at any of the three, look at Manor before Pflugerville or Del Valle.
US-290 or SH-130, and it matters
Into downtown, 290 is free and slow and SH-130 is tolled and fast. At 7am that’s about twenty minutes versus thirty five. Budget the toll before you sign a lease you can only afford without it. We’ve watched renters take a Manor unit on the strength of the rent, then find the commute costs them another hundred a month.
What the inventory looks like
The newer single family rentals in Shadowglen and Presidential Meadows screen more like Austin, because a lot of them are owned by out of state investors running standard criteria. The complexes along 290 and the duplexes closer to Manor Town Center are the flexible end. That’s usually where we start a file with an eviction on it.
Manor ISD serves the area and it’s growing fast enough that campus assignments move. Verify the zone for the exact address, not the neighborhood name.
