710 Colorado St Unit #A2, Austin, TX 78701

STYLE, SPACE, AND SAVINGS! The total package! Swanky large true 1 bedroom unit with luxury upgrades, huge windows, and huge property tax savings! The historic 1938 Brown Building is located in the center of Downtown, and is the ONLY condo building that enjoys the huge property tax discounts the Historic Exemption delivers. Save $THOUSANDS$! With a homestead exemption it's up to a 75% discount! Even without a homestead, it's still 30-35% off of taxes! For example, I estimate that the 2025 tax with a homestead exemption should be under $1,800 for the whole year! The building and the unit have a lot of vintage charm from the period details, including terrazzo floors, concrete ceilings and walls, brick, marble, and stone, but also all the modern comforts and systems. #A2 comes beautifully updated with matching granite counters in kitchen and bath, subway tile kitchen backsplash, and new stainless appliances. Great storage in this unit with 2 closets in the bedroom plus a flexible wide entry hallway that can be used for storage or for desk space. Featuring tall exposed concrete ceilings plus 4 huge fully operable windows that infuse the space with natural light. Peaceful & quiet inside with no street noise when you open the windows. Luminous bedroom with enough space for a king-sized bed plus a lovely ensuite bath with an updated granite vanity, tasteful finishes, and a tile shower/tub. 1 large, reserved parking space in attached garage and more spaces are available if needed.

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.
