Austin's luxury condo market includes 10 high-rise and mid-rise buildings concentrated in the downtown core, ranging from the 56-story Austonian to boutique 8-story buildings in Clarksville. As of Q1 2026, prices start around $450K for entry-level units and reach $15M+ for penthouses. Three buildings - Four Seasons, W Austin, and The Proper - carry hotel branding with full-service hospitality. The Keenan Group has closed 50+ high-rise transactions across these buildings since 2010.
“Every building has its own personality. The Austonian attracts buyers who want the top floor and the best view. Four Seasons buyers want the service - they want someone to bring their car around and deliver dinner to their door. The Independent draws younger buyers who like modern design. Knowing which building fits which buyer is half the job.”
- Joe Keenan, 25+ years Austin luxury real estate

What to Know Before Buying a Condo in Austin
HOA fees are significant. Monthly fees range from $500 to $8,000+ depending on building and unit size. Hotel-branded buildings (Four Seasons, W Austin, The Proper) carry the highest fees due to hospitality services. Factor HOA into your total monthly cost - it can equal or exceed your mortgage payment on a smaller unit.
Special assessments happen. Older buildings (pre-2015) may face major capital expenditures for elevator modernization, facade repair, or pool renovation. We review HOA reserve studies before every offer to identify underfunded reserves.
Resale can be slower than single-family. Austin's condo market typically has longer days-on-market than single-family homes. Buildings with rental restrictions, high HOA fees, or limited parking can be harder to sell. We track resale velocity by building to advise on timing.
Not all buildings allow short-term rentals. If you plan to Airbnb your unit, check the building's rental restrictions first. Some buildings prohibit rentals entirely; others allow long-term only.
“I always tell buyers: the monthly HOA is the price of admission for someone else handling everything. No lawn, no roof repairs, no worry about the exterior. For some people that's worth every penny. For others, it's a dealbreaker. Better to know upfront.”
