610 Davis St Unit #2408, Austin, TX 78701

A refined corner residence at The Modern offers a quieter, more private perspective on downtown living with northwest exposures, expansive floor-to-ceiling glass and open views across the Austin skyline. With 1,174 square feet, two bedrooms and two full baths, the layout feels considered rather than compressed, balancing generous living space with separation between the private areas of the home. The open kitchen and living space are framed by natural light and extend to a covered private balcony, creating an easy connection to the city without sacrificing a sense of retreat. The kitchen is finished with light quartzite surfaces, full-height backsplash, Italkraft cabinetry and a streamlined suite of Wolf and Bosch appliances. Wide-plank wood flooring continues through the main living areas, while the primary suite features a spacious walk-in shower, floating illuminated mirrors and clean, understated finishes. Set within The Modern Austin Residences, one of the newest additions to the downtown skyline, residents have access to more than 19,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed amenities across three levels, including a 25-meter pool and spa, fitness center and yoga studio, indoor and outdoor lounges, business and conference spaces, dog park and wash station, sky lounge with catering kitchen, and 24-hour concierge service. Just moments from Lady Bird Lake and the hike-and-bike trail, The Modern places downtown, the Rainey Street District and some of Austin’s best dining within immediate reach, while Residence 2408 offers something increasingly valuable in the center of the city: a polished home with views, privacy and enough space to truly live in.

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.
