Property Overview

This rare East Austin offering at 1610 Willow Street presents a dual-residence investment wrapped in one of the city's most dynamic neighborhoods.

Currently generating strong rental income, the property stands positioned at $745 per square foot—notably above the East Austin median—reflecting both its development potential and the neighborhood's explosive growth trajectory.
