LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!! Tucked into the desirable Barton Hills neighborhood is this spacious 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo located on the 2nd floor with great views of a tree-covered courtyard and pool. The kitchen opens up to both the dining area and has a breakfast bar for additional seating options.

There is even a separate large bath vanity area with room for a sitting bench. The large bedroom is filled with natural light from the bay windows and faces the back side of the complex for less street noise. Plus, for the owner's convenience there are washer/dryer connections tucked into the kitchen area .

But best of all, this prime location allows you easy access to Zilker Park, Lady Bird Lake trails, and all of the wonderful restaurants and entertainment nearby.

Barton Hills is South Austin's Greenbelt neighborhood in 78704, where the Gus Fruh trailhead sits on a residential street and Barton Springs Pool is a five-minute bike ride. Median home price $1.49M. Austin ISD schools, 10 minutes to downtown, direct access to the Barton Creek Greenbelt and Zilker Park.

The housing stock is mostly 1950s-70s ranch homes on generous lots (8,000-12,000 sq ft) with mature live oak and pecan canopy. The terrain is hilly and the streets wind without sidewalks — everyone walks in the road and waves. Some original homes have been updated; others are teardown candidates for new builds. Active listings typically number 5-10 at any given time.

South Lamar corridor runs along the eastern edge — Uchi, Odd Duck, Loro, Matt's El Rancho, and the Alamo Drafthouse at Lamar Union are all within a mile. Zilker Park (351 acres) is the front yard. The Barton Hills Neighborhood Association actively protects the environmental features that make this location work — the springs, the Greenbelt, and the creek.

What defines Barton Hills: trail access from your front door, spring-fed swimming, James Beard Award-winning food a mile away, and a 10-minute downtown commute. The tradeoff is hilly terrain, no HOA-maintained common areas, and older housing stock that may need significant updating.
