1182 Oakgrove Ave Unit #A, Austin, TX 78702

Rarely does a home in this neighborhood offer nearly 3,000 square feet, a statement kitchen that's as beautiful as it is functional, every bedroom sized for a king bed, a calming sunroom, and a customized backyard built for entertaining. 1182 Oakgrove Ave delivers all of it, in the heart of one of Austin's most beloved neighborhoods.

The main floor is a host's dream. A chef's kitchen with a Bertazzoni gas range, oversized commercial-grade refrigerator and freezer, and sleek quartz countertops opens to a calming sunroom (perfect as a dining room or playroom) and connects seamlessly to the backyard. A custom deck wraps around a cowboy pool set against a turf yard, all completed in 2024. A stunning floating staircase anchors the space, while a spacious living room, dining area, full bathroom, and an epoxy-floored 1-car garage complete the first floor.

The second floor offers a generous secondary living area, laundry closet, a large bedroom with an ensuite bath and built-in closet shelving, an additional bedroom with two closets, and a third full bathroom.

The third floor is reserved entirely for the primary suite and its private balcony overlooking the treetops. A sprawling sleeping area with two walk-in closets opens to a hotel-caliber bathroom with dual vanities, a dual-head shower, a jetted soaking tub, and a water closet. A wet bar with sink and refrigerator completes the suite, ideal as an office nook or flex space.

Thoughtful upgrades throughout: a pre-installed Level 2 Tesla charger with an upgraded electrical panel, a whole-house water filter, a custom backyard redesign, and custom Hunter Douglas blinds.

Steps to Birdie's, Zed's Ice Cream, Cork & Screw, Sammataro Pizza, Nixta Taqueria, the Boggy Creek Trail, and more. Seven minutes to Mueller, 12 to the airport and downtown. 1182 Oakgrove Ave is East Austin living at its finest.

Walking into 1182 Oakgrove Ave in East Austin, you're entering a fully realized luxury home that functions like a private hotel suite with zero compromise on square footage or design. This 2,889-square-foot three-bedroom, four-bath residence in the East Austin development sits in one of Austin's most desirable neighborhoods, priced at $975,000, or $337 per square foot - exceptional value for this location and finish level.

The arrival experience sets the tone immediately. A floating staircase anchors the main floor, which opens into a chef's kitchen with a Bertazzoni gas range, commercial-grade refrigerator and freezer, and quartz countertops. The kitchen flows directly into a calming sunroom that works equally well as a dining space or playroom, then extends through French doors to the backyard - a 2024 custom redesign featuring a resort-style cowboy pool, turf yard, and wraparound deck built for entertaining. The first floor also includes a full bathroom, spacious living and dining areas, and a one-car garage with epoxy flooring and a pre-installed Level 2 Tesla charger.

One bedroom features an ensuite bath with built-in closet shelving; another provides two closets for flexibility. A dedicated laundry closet with stackable washer and dryer connections keeps utilities tucked away.

The third floor is entirely devoted to the primary suite - a retreat with two walk-in closets, a private balcony overlooking the treetops, and a hotel-caliber bathroom featuring dual vanities, a dual-head shower, and a jetted soaking tub. A wet bar with sink and refrigerator functions as office space or flex room.

Smart home technology runs throughout, including a smart thermostat and high-speed internet. Additional upgrades include a whole-house water filter, custom Hunter Douglas blinds, and tankless water heater.

Location delivers walkability to Birdie's, Cork & Screw, Nixta Taqueria, and Sammataro Pizza. The Boggy Creek Trail is steps away. Mueller is seven minutes north; Austin-Bergstrom Airport and downtown are twelve minutes south. Children in Austin ISD attend Blackshear Elementary, Kealing Middle School, and Eastside Early College High School. This property represents East Austin living with the security, service, and functionality of high-rise luxury in a single-family setting.

East Austin is the only neighborhood in the city where you can walk from a James Beard Award-winning restaurant to a converted warehouse gallery to a live music venue to a craft cocktail bar without ever getting in your car. That walkability, combined with a building boom that has reshaped the housing stock over the past decade, makes East Austin the most dynamic real estate market in Central Texas.

East Austin stretches from I-35 on the west to Highway 183 on the east, with Lady Bird Lake forming the southern boundary and roughly MLK Boulevard marking the northern edge of the 78702 core. The 78722 zip extends the identity further north and east. Downtown is immediately across I-35 - five minutes by car, 15 by bicycle. East Cesar Chavez, East 6th, and East 7th serve as commercial corridors, each with its own personality. East Cesar Chavez leans toward taquerias and family shops, East 6th trends cocktail bars and restaurants, East 7th mixes galleries with newer retail.

Modern townhomes and duplexes make up about 35% of sales activity, concentrated on infill lots. Original shotgun bungalows and Craftsman homes account for 25%, mostly on quieter streets east of Chicon - typically 800 to 1,200 square feet on generous lots with ADU potential. Contemporary custom homes represent 15%, with architects like Bercy Chen and Alterstudio producing some of the most interesting residential design in Texas. Unrenovated bungalows start in the mid-$400s. Renovated historic homes with ADUs land between $700,000 and $1 million. New townhomes cluster around $600,000 to $900,000. Custom builds cross $1.5 million.

East Austin falls within Austin ISD. Zavala Elementary and Blackshear Elementary handle early grades. Martin and Kealing Middle Schools are the primary options, with Kealing's magnet program drawing students districtwide. Eastside Memorial High School serves the area, though many families opt for LASA, private schools, or open-enrollment options. The school landscape is more complex than in neighborhoods with a single feeder pattern, and specific addresses matter.

The lifestyle is what people picture when they think of modern Austin. Morning starts at Cenote or Fleet Coffee. Franklin Barbecue's line forms early, but locals order ahead. The dining concentration is remarkable. Suerte does modern Mexican with in-house nixtamal. Nixta Taqueria won a James Beard Award. Launderette turns a converted laundromat into one of Austin's best brunch spots. Canje brings Caribbean cooking to Holly Street. Kemuri Tatsu-Ya fuses izakaya with smokehouse. Via 313 has been making Detroit-style pizza since before the current boom. The Butler Trail, Boggy Creek Greenbelt, Roy Guerrero Park, and Mueller Lake Park provide outdoor options.

East Austin offers urban density and walkability unmatched outside downtown, at prices that undercut the west side significantly. Compared to South Congress, it provides more housing variety and better value per square foot. Compared to Mueller, it trades master-planned orderliness for more character. The main concerns are the pace of change and the east-west infrastructure divide, which has narrowed but still shows in some areas.

East Austin is for buyers who want to live in Austin's cultural energy rather than commute to it. It fits people who eat out frequently, bike to work, and value diversity of experience. It works for investors who see ADU potential in the generous lots. If you need a large lot, a quiet cul-de-sac, or a top suburban school, look elsewhere. But if you want to walk out your front door and feel the pulse of what makes Austin different from every other Texas city, there is no better address.
