Green and Sustainable Rentals in Texas: Eco-Friendly Tips By Ashford Communities
Living Green in the Lone Star State 🌱
The winds of Texas carry more than just prairie dust — they now whisper a rising desire for sustainability, community, and conscious living. As climate awareness grows and lifestyles shift toward eco-friendly habits, renters across the state are seeking more than just square footage; they’re looking for sustainable living communities that support a healthier, greener lifestyle.
At Ashford Communities, we believe that sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s a responsibility. From Houston to Austin, Odessa to San Marcos, our communities are taking steps toward a brighter, cleaner future.
🌿 What Makes a Rental “Sustainable”?
A sustainable rental isn’t just about green-painted walls and bamboo flooring — it’s about reducing environmental impact and building a healthier home. Here are some common features of eco-friendly living spaces:
- Energy-Efficient Appliances – Reduce your electric bill and carbon footprint at once.
- Low-Flow Plumbing Fixtures – Save water without sacrificing comfort.
- Recycling Stations – Convenient drop-off points for recyclables.
- Community Green Spaces – Encouraging outdoor activity and biodiversity.
- Public Transit Access – Reduce the need for personal vehicles.
♻️ Ashford’s Green Touch: Clothing Donation & Recycling Bins
We know that sustainability starts with action, not just intention. That’s why Ashford Communities has installed donation containers at several of our properties, making it easy for residents to recycle clothing, reduce landfill waste, and support those in need.
You’ll find these recycling and clothing donation bins at the following properties:
- Ashford Crescent Oaks (Houston, TX)
- Ashford Costa Perla (Austin, TX)
- Ashford Costa Brava (Austin, TX)
- Ashford Costa Azure (Austin, TX)
- Ashford Costa Esmeralda (Austin, TX)
And, we are continuously working towards green and sustainable living, and we will install more of these on all our properties. These containers aren’t just boxes — they are bins of hope, sustainability, and second chances. Donating your gently used clothing can make a difference both locally and globally, while also decluttering your space in true sustainable lifestyle fashion.
🌎 Simple Tips to Live Greener in Your Ashford Apartment
Whether you’re renting a 1-bedroom in Austin or a 3-bedroom in Houston, here are a few practical tips to green up your life without breaking the bank:
- Switch to LED Lighting
Use less energy and replace bulbs far less often.
- Unplug Idle Electronics
Appliances still draw power even when turned off — known as “vampire energy.”
- Buy Local, Buy Less
Support farmers’ markets and second-hand shops instead of fast fashion or bulk retailers.
- Compost Food Waste
Even if you can’t compost on-site, there are services that will pick it up weekly.
- Use Reusable Items
Water bottles, grocery bags, and cleaning cloths can all be swapped for sustainable versions.
