Student Housing at Rhone
Own Instead of Rent
Rent disappears. Equity stays with you.
Most students rent for four years and walk away with nothing. At Rhone, you own your home, live in it, and build equity the entire time.
After graduation, sell, rent, or reinvest. Either way, you leave with an asset, not a receipt.
Establish Texas Residency
For many out-of-state students, ownership unlocks even more value.
Owning and living in a home in Texas can help support establishing in-state residency for tuition purposes.
That may lead to:
• Access to in-state tuition
• Lower total education costs
• A long-term home base in Austin
Rhone provides a real address and real presence in the state, key components universities consider in residency evaluations.
Easy Access to UT and St. Edward’s
St. Edward’s University
Rhone is located at 2450 Wickersham Lane, just minutes from St. Edward’s.
• Typical drive time: 8 to 10 minutes
• Quick rideshare access
• Direct route via South Austin corridors
• No highway congestion required
It is one of the shortest and simplest student commutes in the city.
University of Texas
• UT students ride CapMetro free with a UT ID • Bus 300 to 5th and Pleasant Valley • Short layover • Bus 672 to UT campus • Typical total commute around 30 minutes

What is the Two Bedroom Strategy?
1. Purchase a two-bedroom residence
2. Live in one room
3. Rent the other to another student
Rental income can offset monthly costs while equity grows in the background.
Compare that to traditional student rentals:
• High rent
• No ownership
• No long-term return
At Rhone, someone else helps pay your mortgage while you build wealth. That is leverage in action.
Why Rhone for Students?
• Own instead of rent
• Build equity during college
• Potential path to Texas residency
• Minutes from St. Edward’s
• Free transit access to UT
• Strong student rental demand
A Lesson That Lasts Beyond Graduation
Friendly Disclosure: Residency qualification rules vary by university and individual circumstances. Students should confirm residency requirements directly with UT Austin or St. Edward’s University. Commute times are approximate and may vary. Rental income and financial examples are illustrative only. Buyers should consult lenders, tax professionals, and property managers when evaluating ownership strategies.
