Property Overview

This updated corner condominium on Balcones Drive offers remarkable walkability and urban convenience wrapped in a peaceful 1960s setting. The 892 square foot floor plan features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and sits on a 3,515 square foot lot with a tranquil private back porch—a rare amenity in this established Austin neighborhood. Recent renovations throughout include new appliances, updated flooring, fresh paint, new vinyl double-pane windows, and a solar skylight that floods the interior with natural light.

Location is this property's greatest asset. The condo sits steps from Randall's Groceries and neighborhood restaurants like Chee Zee and Yamas, with direct city bus access at the corner. Fire Station #8 sits directly across the street, while quick access to Loop 1 (MoPac) and Highway 2222 connects residents to the Domain, Q2 Stadium, and downtown Austin within minutes. Barton Springs and Zilker Park lie just south, making this Balcones Drive address a central hub for both urban convenience and outdoor recreation. With a competitive $271 per square foot price point, this updated condo represents solid value in an increasingly sought-after central Austin location.

This property's extended market time presents an opportunity for the right buyer—the fundamentals here are strong, from the location to the recent updates, and Vox Residential sees real potential for someone seeking established neighborhood character with modern finishes and genuine walkability. At this price, a two-bedroom with this level of renovation and corner positioning near transit in central Austin deserves serious consideration.
