504 W 7th St, Austin, TX 78701

Description available upon request.

At $688 per square foot, 504 W 7th St delivers 5,089 square feet of single-family space in a part of downtown Austin where large residential properties are hard to find. In Downtown Austin, this six bedroom, three bath, one half bath home sits on a 0.1469 acre lot and offers a scale that stands out in 78701.

This is a 1951 Residential - Single Family Residence in Travis County, and that year built matters. Homes from this era in the original downtown grid often carry a different footprint than newer construction, with broader rooms, more separation of space, and a street presence that feels tied to central Austin rather than a newer infill formula. With 294 days on market, buyers have had time to study the opportunity, which makes the pricing conversation more about fit and long term value than first weekend urgency.

Living at 504 W 7th St means daily access to the city core without giving up the privacy of a standalone home. You are just west of Congress Avenue and close to North Lamar Boulevard, with quick connections to MoPac Expressway and Cesar Chavez Street. Republic Square is nearby for events and green space, and Shoal Creek Trail gives you an easy outdoor route through the center of the city. Whole Foods Market on North Lamar is a short drive away, and the Texas State Capitol is only minutes from the front door. Lady Bird Lake, the hike and bike trail, and the Warehouse District are all within a short reach, which is a major advantage for buyers who want Austin’s business, dining, and recreation anchors close at hand.

The lot size of 0.1469 acres is meaningful in downtown Austin, where land value is a major part of the equation. A six bedroom layout also opens more paths for use, whether the priority is full time living, guest capacity, work from home flexibility, or multigenerational space. School information is not provided in the listing, so buyers should confirm current attendance and eligibility directly through the appropriate public or private sources.

For someone looking at downtown Austin with a long view, 504 W 7th St in Downtown Austin offers size, land, and location in a combination that remains difficult to replace, and that tends to matter more as the urban core continues to tighten.

Downtown Austin runs from the Colorado River north to the Capitol, bounded by I-35 to the east and Lamar to the west. It is the densest residential market in Central Texas with high-rise condos, historic lofts, and luxury towers concentrated in distinct sub-districts.

The Seaholm District anchors the west end with the Seaholm Residences and the new Google tower reshaping the skyline. Rainey Street sits along the lake's north shore - what was a street of bungalow bars is now flanked by 40-story residential towers including 70 Rainey and The Lakeshore. The Warehouse District between 3rd and 6th Streets draws buyers who want walkable nightlife and restaurant access. Congress Avenue bisects downtown and remains the civic spine connecting the Capitol to the lake.

The Austonian (56 floors), The Independent (58 floors), and 360 Condominiums are the marquee towers. Newer projects like Sixth & Guadalupe and The Republic continue adding inventory. Price points range from $400K studio condos to $5M+ penthouses with lake and Hill Country views.

Walk Score averages 95+. The MetroRail Red Line stops at downtown station. Major employers including the State of Texas, UT Austin, and a growing tech presence (Google, Meta, Apple satellite offices) generate consistent housing demand. Nightlife, dining, live music, and Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail are all within walking distance.

Buyers here are typically professionals, empty nesters downsizing from suburban estates, investors, and out-of-state relocations drawn to Austin's urban core. HOA fees range from $400/month in older buildings to $2,000+ in full-service towers. Most buildings include concierge, pool, fitness center, and secure parking.
