Affordable Living for the People Who Keep Austin Running

At Citizen House Decker, we believe everyone deserves access to high-quality housing, especially the essential workers who make our community stronger every day. That's why we are proud to offer Essential Housing, a special program designed to provide beautiful, comfortable apartments for rent in Austin for the people who serve the city of Austin. Whether you're a teacher, nurse, first responder, or city employee, our Essential Housing program opens the door to a new standard of living in East Austin.

This initiative is part of a broader effort to support affordability in Austin through a PublicFacility Corporation (PFC) program. While the technical term may be "affordable housing," at Citizen House Decker, our approach is anything but basic. These luxury apartments feature modern finishes, innovative layouts, and access to high-end amenities, all while maintaining income-restricted eligibility to make them more accessible. You get all the perks of upscale living at a more manageable price point.

Citizen House Decker offers both one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom apartments for rent in Austin, each thoughtfully designed to match your lifestyle. From spacious interiors to sleek kitchen finishes and designer touches throughout, every detail is meant to feel like home. As part of our East Austin apartment community, you'll enjoy a vibrant, walkable location with access to parks, shops, restaurants, and transit—all within easy reach of downtown Austin. Essential Housing is about more than income limits—it's about creating opportunities. We recognize that the people who educate our children, care for the sick, and respond to emergencies often face challenges finding affordable apartments for rent in Austin. Rising rents and limited inventory have made it increasingly challenging for essential workers to live near their place of work. Our program addresses this issue directly by reserving a portion of our apartments specifically for qualifying households, based on Area Median Income (AMI) guidelines.

Instead of commuting long distances or settling for outdated spaces, Essential Housing at Citizen House Decker allows you to live in the heart of the community you serve. That means more time to rest, recharge, and connect with the people who matter most. It also means 

access to our full suite of luxury amenities—from our resort-style pool and fitness center to shared coworking spaces, pet-friendly perks, and social lounges. Citizen House Decker has designed this program to help essential workers establish a strong foundation in the community without sacrificing quality or convenience. This is a welcoming East Austin apartment community offering a mix of style and affordability. Whether you're searching for one-bedroom apartments with city access or two-bedroom apartments for a growing household, our Essential Housing options bring it all within reach. 

Austin thrives because of the people who keep it going. At Citizen House Decker, we're proud to play a part in ensuring that people have access to apartments in Austin that combine thoughtful design, affordable pricing, and an unbeatable location.
