Vox Residential Insight

At 1801 Lavaca, you're paying a modest 7% premium over the West Campus median, which reflects the building's legendary reputation and those Capitol views rather than recent renovations. From Vox Residential's perspective, this corner unit's real value lies in its potential—the bones are solid, the location is unbeatable, and a thoughtful update would position it competitively in an increasingly competitive neighborhood.
