2006 Sl Davis Ave Unit #1, Austin, TX 78702

** Landscaping is being completed this weekend**This Rosewood single-family home features 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, offering a spacious two-story layout and a private pool that captures the sought-after East Austin lifestyle. Centrally located in the 78702 zip code, this property sits just 1.6 miles from the center of the city, providing quick access to the local coffee shops and dining spots that define the Rosewood area. The exterior presents a modern feel, while the interior opens into a main floor designed for easy movement between the primary living areas. Upon entering, the main floor features an open floor plan where the living room transitions into the kitchen. A full bedroom and bathroom are situated near the front entrance, making it an ideal setup for a home office or guest quarters. The kitchen is positioned to overlook the living room and the backyard, ensuring the person cooking remains part of the conversation. Upstairs, the layout includes three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a flexible bonus space that serves as a secondary lounging area. The standout feature of the second floor is the private, oversized balcony off the back, providing a shaded outdoor vantage point overlooking the property. The outdoor space is tailored for the Texas climate, centered around a fenced backyard that includes a private pool and a covered patio. This setup allows for year-round utility, whether you are hosting a summer gathering or simply enjoying the privacy of the fenced perimeter. Being in Rosewood, you are minutes away from the airport and the major commuter routes that serve East Austin. The location puts you within walking distance or a short bike ride of the bars, cafes, and restaurants along the East 6th and 7th Street corridors. Living here means being part of a community with deep roots and a clear connection to the energy of the city.

New construction in 78702 with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a private pool, and 2,224 square feet at $539 per square foot is a tight combination for buyers who want usable space and a close-in Austin position without giving up lot size. At 2006 Sl Davis Ave Unit #1 in East Austin, this single-family residence sits on 0.1828 acres and enters the market as a 2026 build with only 3 days on market, which matters in a central East Austin location where newer detached inventory with outdoor living is limited. The address also falls within Austin ISD, with a school path that includes Blackshear, Kealing, and Eastside Early College.

The layout reads as practical rather than forced. The main level opens directly through the primary living areas, with the kitchen set to face both the living room and the backyard, which keeps the center of the home connected to the pool and covered patio. A full bedroom and bath near the entry create real flexibility for guests, office use, or a multigenerational setup without pushing that function upstairs. The second floor adds three more bedrooms, two baths, and a bonus living area, then separates itself with an oversized rear balcony that extends the usable square footage outdoors and gives the upper level a second gathering zone. A 1-car garage rounds out the footprint, and the landscaping is in progress now, which suggests the exterior presentation is still being finalized rather than already peaked.

Location is a major part of the value here. The property is in Austin, TX 78702 in Travis County, positioned in the Rosewood area and roughly 1.6 miles from the center of the city according to the marketing remarks. That keeps daily access efficient while still placing the home near the bars, cafes, and restaurants tied to the East 6th and 7th Street corridors. The same remarks point to convenient airport access and strong connectivity to major commuter routes, which reinforces the address for buyers balancing urban lifestyle, travel, and workday movement. For a buyer evaluating long-term position, this is the kind of property that pairs new construction, flexible square footage, and a scarce East Austin lot-and-pool profile in a part of the city where land use and location continue to drive value.

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.
