610 Davis St Unit #3009, Austin, TX 78701

Perched on the 30th floor of The Modern Austin Residences, this one-bedroom, one-bath home looks straight out over the downtown skyline. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the living space with light from morning to evening, and the covered balcony is the kind of spot you actually use, whether that's coffee at sunrise or watching the city light up at night. The views stretch across downtown and never get old. Inside, exposed concrete and wood floors give the home a warm, modern feel that photographs well and lives even better. The kitchen was built for people who cook, with a Wolf gas range, quartz countertops, illuminated open shelving, and plenty of cabinet space. The bathroom keeps the same standard, with a dual-sink vanity and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower in large-format tile. The amenities at The Modern are hard to beat. More than 19,000 square feet across three levels, all furnished and thoughtfully designed, including a resort-style pool and spa deck, fitness and yoga studios, owners' lounges, co-working spaces, and guest suites for out-of-town visitors. Multiple outdoor lounges and terraces give you room to spread out, and there's even a dog park and dog wash on site. The curated furnishings throughout make the shared spaces feel more boutique hotel than high-rise. A 24-hour concierge and secure garage parking handle the day-to-day. And then there's the location. You're in the heart of the Rainey Street District, a short walk from Lady Bird Lake, the hike-and-bike trail, and some of the best restaurants and nightlife in Austin. Downtown is right there when you want it, and the lake trail is right there when you don't. It's a rare mix of high-rise views, real warmth, and a neighborhood you can enjoy on foot. Come see what the 30th floor at The Modern looks like in person!

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.
