Manor Austin Rental Yield: 7.9% in Q2 2026

Manor posted the highest rental yield of any Austin suburb at 7.9 percent for the second quarter of 2026.

The figure stands out because Austin home prices have climbed 11 percent since January while rents in outer eastern tracts have risen faster than in central neighborhoods. Buyers priced out of Travis Heights or Clarksville have shifted capital to Manor, where entry prices remain lower and occupancy rates stay above 94 percent.

Properties near key landmarks draw steady tenants

Investors focus on single-family homes within two miles of the Manor Public Library on Old Highway 20 and along the FM 973 corridor that feeds directly into Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Both locations sit inside the Manor Independent School District boundaries, where new flight-crew and warehouse staff continue to sign 12-month leases. Local agents report three-bedroom houses on streets such as Bois D Arc Lane and Shadowglen Trail renting within 18 days of listing.

The Austin Multiple Listing Service recorded a median sale price of $385,000 for Manor homes in June 2026, paired with average monthly rents of $2,150. That combination produces the 7.9 percent gross yield, according to calculations released July 9 by the Austin Board of Realtors. Comparable yields in Pflugerville and Round Rock registered 6.4 percent and 5.8 percent over the same period.

Next steps for buyers entering the market

Prospective investors should review July listings through the Austin Board of Realtors portal before the next school-year lease cycle begins in mid-August. Checking flood-zone maps for properties east of US 290 and confirming current property-tax rates with Travis County remain standard first steps before offers go in.
