Room Description

Lake Life - 2 Rooms For You + Private Full Bath ($1,400/mo)

Share this condo with me and experience the incomparable lifestyle this incredible, highly sought after location has to offer!
Two rooms for you to use as you please, two closets, one has a walk-in, and a balcony that expands them both. Full private bath with a tub and storage (with the best water pressure ever!) It's a 1500 sq ft, 2 story condo, with the bedrooms upstairs, Google fiber, and in-unit laundry. It's a gated community, and you get a covered parking spot! You can launch a kayak or paddleboard straight from a private dock in the community, and.. there's 2 pools, and beautiful courtyards with BBQs. The absolute best part is the location, you can walk, run, or bike around Lady Bird Lake plus you can easily venture to S. Congress or into the city! Thom's is a short walk away for goodies in between H-E-B runs. Convenient access to I-35 and MoPac (1) if you're a commuter. Comes complete with endless friendly neighbors!

I am a mindful creative woman in her late 40's looking for a roommate with similar interests and lifestyle habits. I have lived here for 3 1/2 years, absolutely love it! I have a 7 yr old pup named Freya (must be dog friendly.) I prefer a roomie that's tidy, reliable and a good communicator! I work from home during the day/week, but will show homes some evenings and as much over the weekend as possible. I walk the lake, and practice meditation and yoga, I love live music, animals, nature, photography, upcycling and all things design. I try to get out as much as possible, it's hard not to with everything so close, but can be a homebody too!

We have our own little oasis here at Riverwalk Condos!! Let's chat, come check it out, and see if you're a good fit!

Room dimensions - 13x12 (closet 6'deep) and 13x9 (5.5' wide)

6 months, could take over the lease and stay longer

    "I've lived here for four years and it's a great Central place to live. You can walk downtown, zilker and Soco. Reasonable prices too. Traffic on congress can be tight but its worth it if you live an active lifestyle. "

    "This neighborhood is in high demand, Located just across Lady Bird Lake from Downtown Austin. This section of the lake will soon be accessed by a new boardwalk that will keep the many runners, walkers and joggers off of busy E. Riverside Drive. The neighborhood is walkable with S. Congress Ave close by for shopping, dining and nightlife options. Easy access to I-35 to get into or out of town."

    "Travis Heights is an adorable neighborhood -- very stroll-able and close proximity to Downtown and some of Austin's weirdest and nicest restaurants and bars. Travis Heights Elementary is a prime school and received a GreatSchools Rating of 5 out of 10. Mature trees everywhere. Some will find the neighborhood a bit eclectic. "
