How does no HOA dues for 6 months sound? Ask us how! Picture ending each day on your 35-foot-long private balcony, watching the sun drop and the southwest sky light up over Austin. That's the everyday view from this 5th-floor 2-bed/2-bath condo in St. Elmo, the creative, homegrown heart of South Austin. This is a true arts-and-makers district: independent restaurants, local breweries, live music, studios and galleries, with pickleball, padel and Pins Mechanical when you feel like playing. It's equal parts tight-knit community and destination, all the fun without downtown's traffic and crowds, and still just minutes from the city center. Inside, a soaring wall of energy-efficient Andersen windows pours light across the huge open-concept living space, and with no neighbors to the east, it's more private. There's a built-in desk for work-from-home days, sleek quartz counters in the kitchen, and a roomy 16-ft primary suite with an extra-large walk-in closet. The dedicated laundry closet, smart Nest thermostat, in-unit washer and dryer, refrigerator, and 3 covered parking spots in the gated garage all come with it. The building adds 10,000 square feet of amenities: a rooftop fitness center, a yoga and meditation studio, a courtyard with a gas fire pit and grills, a shaded heritage oak courtyard, and two off-leash dog runs. A brand-new rooftop pool is being rebuilt. And it's all walkable. Grab a meal and a drink at The Yard (St. Elmo Brewing, Still Austin Whiskey, The Austin Winery), coffee at Cosmic, or a set at Monks Jazz Club, with Quickie Pickie grocery and Portal sauna + cold plunge coming soon. The Bergstrom Spur Pedestrian Trail is under construction and light rail is planned down South Congress, and Downtown, SoCo and Lady Bird Lake are all minutes away. A chance to plant roots early in St. Elmo before the rest of Austin catches on.
