2010 Goodrich Ave Unit #5A, Austin, TX 78704

Striking contemporary townhome in Copeland Court, an intimate community of just 18 residences in vibrant 78704. Anything you could want is within walking distance, from Snooze and Alamo Drafthouse to local, highly rated restaurants, shops and Zilker Elementary School. Lady Bird Lake is just a mile and a half away. The spacious main floor features 20-foot ceilings and opens to a gorgeously landscaped back yard with a pergola-covered patio, pool/spa, outdoor kitchen and lounge areas. The main-floor primary suite enjoys access to the garden, four closets and a marble and walnut bath. Upstairs are a sunlit-flooded study with soaring ceilings plus two additional bedrooms, one en-suite. Throughout you will find wide-plank oak floors, automated shades, walnut cabinetry and abundant storage. Additional luxuries include an EV charge, two-car garage with storage, whole-house Sonos system, and EMF protection in the primary suite.

2010 Goodrich Ave Unit #5A immediately stands out on scale and layout, offering 2,678 square feet with four bedrooms, three full baths, and one half bath at $1.75 million, or $653 per square foot, in MLS Area 7. That combination matters because buyers at this price point are usually measuring more than finish and presentation. They are measuring how much real utility they are getting, how well the floor plan can absorb changing needs, and whether the numbers support the asking price in a competitive Austin market.

The value case here starts with proportion. Four bedrooms in a residential property built in 2017 gives this home a practical advantage for buyers who need flexibility without giving up usable square footage. Three full baths and one half bath further strengthen that profile. This is not just about count. It is about how a property can function over time for daily living, guests, work-from-home use, or multigenerational needs. In luxury buying, that kind of flexibility tends to hold up because it serves both immediate use and future resale logic.

The 2017 build year is also a meaningful fact. In Austin, newer construction can carry a different ownership profile than older housing stock, especially when buyers are weighing systems age, maintenance exposure, and layout efficiency. A more current build often aligns with what today’s buyers expect in terms of room flow and overall livability. When that is paired with nearly 2,700 square feet, the conversation shifts from simple price comparison to cost relative to function, age, and replacement realities.

At 69 days on market, this listing has been available long enough for serious buyers to benchmark it against other residential options in Travis County. That creates a more informed decision point. With no public feature package or agent description to lean on, the structured facts do the real work here, and they are enough to form a clear read. The bedroom count is strong, the bath mix is useful, the square footage is substantial, and the build year supports a more current ownership proposition than many older comparables.

For buyers focused on measurable utility rather than thin marketing language, 2010 Goodrich Ave Unit #5A presents a straightforward position in MLS Area 7: newer construction, meaningful square footage, and a layout with the kind of staying power that tends to matter over the long term in Austin’s upper-tier market.

Zilker is the only neighborhood in Austin where you can complete an entire day - morning run, afternoon swim, evening dinner - without ever sitting in a car. The Butler Trail starts at your doorstep. Barton Springs Pool is a walk across the park. Barton Springs Road has enough restaurants to fill a week. That car-free possibility is not a marketing pitch. People here actually live that way.

The neighborhood sits south of Lady Bird Lake, bounded by MoPac west, Lamar east, Barton Skyway south, and the lake north. Zilker Park, the 351-acre green space, occupies the northeast corner where Barton Creek meets the lake. Downtown is across the Lamar or First Street bridge, five to ten minutes and entirely bikeable. Terry Black's serves competition-grade barbecue. Odd Duck does seasonal small plates. Uchi is widely considered one of the best Japanese restaurants in the country. Juliet Italian Kitchen handles the neighborhood spot role. Loro does Thai-inspired barbecue. Tiki Tatsu-Ya turns a strip mall into an immersive experience. Nido at The Loren brings hotel-level dining to the south end.

Craftsman bungalows from the 1930s anchor many streets with covered porches and mature pecans. Mid-Century Ranch homes fill blocks closer to Barton Skyway. Contemporary builds have replaced many originals, especially near the park and trail. A block might have three bungalows, a Ranch, and two new contemporaries side by side. Prices start around $800,000 for a small bungalow needing work and climb past $3 million for new construction with park proximity. The median hovers around $1.3 million. Lots are modest, typically 5,000 to 8,000 square feet.

Zilker Elementary has a devoted parent community that has invested through fundraising and advocacy, with a strong arts program. Students feed into O. Henry Middle School and Austin High School, located directly on Lady Bird Lake with an unusual campus setting for an urban school. Families who choose Zilker schools value walkability, diversity, and community engagement over the metrics-driven approach of some suburban districts.

A typical weekday starts with a morning run on the Butler Trail, which loops around Lady Bird Lake. Midday might include Barton Springs Pool, the three-acre spring-fed pool that stays 68 degrees year-round. The Barton Creek Greenbelt is accessible from multiple trailheads. The Violet Crown Trail pushes south into the Hill Country. Zilker Park hosts ACL in October and Trail of Lights in December, but the rest of the year it is a neighborhood park: soccer games, picnics, paddleboard launches, and a botanical garden.

Zilker competes with Travis Heights, Bouldin Creek, and Barton Hills. Travis Heights has similar character but sits farther from the park and trail system. Bouldin Creek is quieter with lower prices but lacks direct park adjacency. Barton Hills offers more space but requires driving to dining. Zilker's advantage is the combination of park access, trail access, restaurant walkability, and downtown proximity that no other neighborhood matches simultaneously.

Zilker is for buyers who want a car-optional lifestyle in the center of Austin's best outdoor amenities. It works for active couples, families who want kids growing up at Barton Springs, and anyone who measures quality of life in trail miles and walkable restaurants rather than square footage and garage bays.
