Welcome to Your Austin Home Base
Located in an established Austin community with plenty of local character, this spacious 3-bedroom apartment offers a comfortable and practical place for families and groups to settle in. It’s not a luxury high-rise—rather, it’s a relaxed and down-to-earth space with everything you need for an easy, enjoyable stay between your Austin adventures.
A short drive to downtown, the University of Texas, and the airport, this property is ideal for festivals, college events, work trips, and family gatherings.
Why Guests Enjoy Staying Here
• Room for Everyone
With three bedrooms and a generous layout, families and groups have space to spread out and relax—no cramped hotel rooms here.
• Excellent Value for the Area
Guests consistently share how rare it is to find this much space, in this location, at this price point.
• Comfortable, Lived-In Community
This home sits in a classic Austin community with a relaxed atmosphere. It’s ideal for travelers who prefer comfort and convenience over high-end finishes.
• Close to Austin’s Best
Whether you’re here for UT events, local festivals, food trucks, or exploring the city, you’re centrally located and just minutes from it all.
• Great for Longer Stays
With a full kitchen, onsite laundry access, and the space to settle in, longer visits feel simple and comfortable.
• Responsive, Caring Hosting
Guests frequently mention how supported, heard, and cared for they feel throughout their stay. We value clear communication and quick assistance.
Important Notes About This Home
We want you to have a great experience. To help you decide if this home is the right fit, please read the following:
• A Comfortable and Spacious Home
This is a practical, relaxed place to unwind—not a newly renovated or luxury-style unit. Everything is clean, functional, and set up for comfort and convenience.
• Located in an Established Austin Community
The community has a lived-in feel and authentic Austin character. If you prefer modern buildings or high-end finishes, this may not match your expectations.
• Practical, No-Frills Living
Expect a fully equipped kitchen, reliable WiFi, smart TV, comfortable sleeping spaces, and the essentials needed for a straightforward stay.
• Community Amenities May Vary
The pool, gym, and shared spaces are managed by the HOA. Their hours and maintenance can shift, though we do our best to keep guests informed. Consider these amenities a bonus rather than the main focus of your stay.
• Strong Value for the Space
Travelers who prioritize room to spread out, an affordable price point, and a central Austin location consistently enjoy staying here.
If you have any questions about the home, community, or neighborhood, feel free to reach out before you book—we’re happy to help ensure the space is the right match.
