State Capitol at night
Central Austin has long been one of the most desirable areas to call home, and it’s easy to see why. As we say in real estate, it’s Location, Location, Location, and when it comes to being close to work, dining, parks, museums, shopping, and nightlife, everything is at your fingertips. With a mixture of historic homes, mid-century suburbs and contemporary condominiums, Central Austin is a smorgasbord of home buying opportunities to suit every taste. Because of the convenience and charm central Austin living provides, you’ll pay a premium for living here, but you get what you pay for. And while there are pricy penthouses and multi-million dollar homes throughout the area, you can also find charming bungalows, mid-century ranch homes and contemporary lofts that are considered affordable by Austin standards.
