Description

Hands down best location to South Congress Avenue in Travis Heights, the perfect distance from vibrant South Congress, live music, dining and shopping, and walking access to the Boardwalk at Lady Bird Lake. Completely remodelled house with high quality materials, amazing large windows, new oak floors, tiled bathroom, glass door shower door, new HVAC and GE appliances. The bedroom has a built-in closet. Fenced in, recently landscaped yard with large beautiful live oaks. Super quiet tree-lined neighborhood; walkability does not get any better than this location. It's also a 3 minute ride share to downtown Austin and close to Stacy Park which runs the length of the neighborhood.

Renter is responsible for utilities (gas, electricity and water). Last month's rent is due at signing. No smoking allowed.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "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. "
