Harvey Insurance is a trusted local agency serving families and businesses across Texas, Oklahoma & Arkansas — backed by America’s most reputable carriers.

Protecting What’s Inside Your Austin Rental

With roughly 57% of Austin households renting, most residents live in large apartment communities, converted East Side homes, or shared houses near campus — and the building owner’s insurance never covers a tenant’s laptop, bike, or furniture. In a market this dense, a kitchen fire two floors up or a burst pipe overhead can ruin your belongings through no fault of your own. A renters policy replaces what you own and shields you from liability if a guest is hurt or you accidentally cause damage. Harvey Insurance makes it simple and affordable to get covered anywhere in the Austin area.

Renter Risk Profile

What renters file claims for here

In a fast-growing rental city like Austin, the biggest threats to your belongings come from break-ins, water escaping from neighboring units, and fire spreading through multi-family buildings.

Theft

Break-Ins & Package Theft

Dense apartment districts along East Riverside, North Lamar, and the campus area see steady rates of burglary, car break-ins, and porch-pirate package theft. Renters insurance replaces stolen electronics, bikes, and valuables — even items taken from your car or while you’re traveling.

Water

Water Damage From Above

In Austin’s stacked apartments and high-rises, an overflowing tub or burst supply line one floor up can soak everything you own. Personal property coverage pays to replace furniture and electronics ruined by water that originates in a neighbor’s unit.

Fire

Multi-Unit Fire & Smoke

A fire that starts in another apartment can fill your unit with smoke and leave your belongings unlivable even if the flames never reach you. Your policy covers smoke and fire loss plus additional living expenses for a hotel while your rental is repaired.

Where Renters Live

Austin rentals, neighborhood by neighborhood

Renters are spread across nearly every corner of Austin — from downtown towers and student housing to the big apartment corridors of the north and east. Here’s where they cluster.

Downtown & Rainey Street

High-rise towers around Rainey Street, the Warehouse District, and Congress Avenue house thousands of professionals in pricey units packed with electronics and furniture — exactly the kind of belongings a renters policy is built to replace.

East Riverside

One of Austin’s largest apartment corridors, East Riverside is a dense mix of student and young-professional complexes near the lake and downtown. Break-ins and unit-to-unit water damage make coverage a must here.

The Domain

North Austin’s live-work-play hub packs luxury mid-rise apartments among the shops and tech offices. Renters here carry high-value electronics and furnishings that a personal property policy protects from theft, fire, and water.

North Lamar & Rundberg

The Rundberg and North Lamar area offers some of Austin’s most affordable garden-style apartments and duplexes. Coverage here is inexpensive and shields tenants from theft and fire losses that can be hard to absorb on a tight budget.

East Austin & Mueller

From creative converted homes and duplexes on the East Side to the modern apartments of Mueller, this fast-changing area draws renters of every kind. A tenant policy covers belongings and liability across older and new construction alike.
