Austin, Texas
Downtown Austin
Towers, penthouses and skyline views
Downtown Austin runs from Lady Bird Lake north to the Capitol, and from I-35 west to Lamar. Within that grid sit distinct districts — Rainey Street, the Seaport and Waterfront blocks, the Market and Warehouse districts, and the Second Street retail corridor.
Buying downtown means buying a building as much as a residence. Amenity programs, HOA structure, parking ratios, view protection and resale history vary dramatically between towers just two blocks apart.
Below is a working guide to the downtown buildings that most often trade at the luxury end of the market.
