Under-tapped market, for now
Student housing might come to mind when considering the Austin's Parker Lane neighborhood, but hidden behind the main boulevards’ large apartment complexes are cozy pockets of residential neighborhoods. “It’s still kind of under-tapped by buyers," says Stacie Watts, an associate broker on the Holm team at Compass with 10 years of real estate experience. “It’s growing slower for how close it is to downtown.” Because of this prime location, Watts believes that one day, the area will be occupied by nice, large homes, as is the case in the adjacent neighborhood of Travis Heights. In fact, new construction is already causing this shift. But for now, it remains a good place to get a condo or a starter home with a price point offering entry into the market.
Affordable condos and renovated ranch-styles
Many of the older apartment complexes rented by University of Texas and St. Edward’s undergrads have been replaced by luxury apartment buildings and condos. There’s a similar trend happening with homes. “There are big lots out there so we’re seeing some people knock homes down and put up two. That helps with the affordability,” Watts says. “But we’re also seeing people renovate some older homes as well.” Ranch-styles and a variety of midcentury single and two-story homes can be found in cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets. A one-bed, one-bath condo built in the 80s will run for around $225,000 while a four-bed, two-bath newly renovated ranch-style with a large backyard could go for $679,000.

The Soup Peddler on South Lamar is amazing. They deliver once a week to certain areas. All their soups are made from scratch with healthy sometimes local ingredients. They have different options to choose from every day.
