1300 Norwalk Ln Unit #1, Austin, TX 78703

Riverside Homes, Austin’s 2018 & 2020 Green Builder of the Year, proudly introduces The Octave—an exclusive collection of eight architecturally refined courtyard residences in Tarrytown. Designed around private outdoor space, each home is composed as a series of living areas that connect to a manicured courtyard—creating a rhythm of indoor–outdoor living that feels elevated and effortless. Pre-construction reservations are now open.

At the center of each residence, the courtyard becomes a daily backdrop—welcoming morning coffee, al fresco dining, and quiet evenings under the stars. Expanses of glass and curated sightlines draw natural light into the home while maintaining privacy.

The main-level primary suite offers a serene retreat with a spa-inspired bath, walk-in shower, and high-end finishes—supporting ease of living and the ability to age in place. The kitchen is both luxurious and functional, anchored by an island and positioned to engage directly with the courtyard.

Upstairs, two secondary bedrooms are complemented by a flexible office or bonus space, ideal for working from home, hosting guests, or adapting to evolving needs. Select floor plans with private elevator option.

Crafted for a lock-and-leave lifestyle, each home features low-E windows, low-VOC finishes, water-efficient fixtures, a high-efficiency 17 SEER HVAC system, EV charging capability, and WiFi-enabled garage access.

Perfect as a primary residence or elegant pied-à-terre, The Octave offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a low-maintenance, design-forward lifestyle. Just a short stroll to Mozart’s Coffee Roasters, Hula Hut, and HEB, with easy access to Austin High School, Lions Municipal Golf Course, and minutes to downtown—offering an active, connected lifestyle with the charm of Tarrytown.

This 2,013-square-foot residence at 1300 Norwalk Lane in the Tarrytown development achieves what most Austin luxury condos promise but rarely deliver: intelligent design that maximizes livability without wasting a single square foot. Built in 2027 by Riverside Homes, a two-time Green Builder of the Year, Unit 1 anchors The Octave, an eight-home collection in Tarrytown organized around private courtyards rather than sprawling footprints.

The architecture reads clean and intentional. The main floor houses the primary suite with a spa-inspired bath, soaking tub, and walk-in closet, positioning the master bedroom to overlook the private courtyard. The kitchen operates as the home's second anchor, built around an island and positioned to engage the outdoor space directly. This relationship between interior and courtyard eliminates dead zones. Floor-to-ceiling glass, strategic sightlines, and quartz countertops create an open floorplan that feels expansive despite the efficient square footage. Recessed lighting, a smart thermostat, and smart home systems are standard.

Upstairs, two secondary bedrooms flank a flexible office or bonus space, solving the remote-work requirement without sacrificing bedroom count. An optional private elevator is available on select units, removing stairs from the daily equation. Finishes throughout specify concrete, tile, and wood flooring, with stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a tankless water heater reducing both consumption and maintenance. Low-flow fixtures, low-E windows, and a 17 SEER HVAC system carry environmental efficiency through the entire home.

The neighborhood sits minutes from downtown Austin and Lions Municipal Golf Course, with Mozart's Coffee Roasters and Hula Hut within walking distance. Casis Elementary, O Henry Middle, and Austin High School serve the area through Austin ISD. The location preserves the tree-lined character of Tarrytown while offering urban proximity, a combination that commands attention in a market where walkability meets residential quietness.

At $678 per square foot, this represents sharp pricing for a new-construction luxury condo with primary-bedroom-on-main living, courtyard privacy, and EV charging capability. The lock-and-leave lifestyle appeals to professionals who refuse to compromise on design or location.

Tarrytown is a historic Central Austin neighborhood in 78703, five minutes from downtown and bordered by Lake Austin to the west. Median home price $1.95M. Austin ISD schools - Casis Elementary, O. Henry Middle, Austin High - and walkability to Deep Eddy Pool, Lady Bird Lake, and Mayfield Park.

The housing stock spans nine decades. Original 1930s-60s colonials, Tudors, and ranch homes sit alongside new construction and gut renovations on lots ranging from 0.15 to 0.3 acres. Lakefront properties on Scenic Drive and streets near Lake Austin command $4M-$15M+. The neighborhood's character has been protected by an engaged neighborhood association and the McMansion Ordinance, which limits building scale.

Daily life here runs on the water and the schools. Morning laps at Deep Eddy Pool (68-degree spring-fed water year-round), school drop-off at Casis, coffee at Tarrytown Pharmacy or Summer Moon, dinner at Jeffrey's or Josephine House without leaving the neighborhood. The Contemporary at Laguna Gloria and Lions Municipal Golf Course are a walk or short bike ride away.

What makes Tarrytown distinct from other luxury Austin neighborhoods: genuine walkability, a 90-year-old neighborhood identity, and Central Austin access that Westlake and Barton Creek cannot match. The tradeoff is Austin ISD instead of Eanes, and smaller lots than you'd find west of MoPac.
