Uptown Austin Homes for Sale

Uptown Austin is a compact, walkable neighborhood on the northern edge of downtown, just steps from the Texas State Capitol. Condos make up most of the residential selection, with units in mid-rise and high-rise buildings from the 1960s through the 1980s, including the midcentury modern Westgate Tower beside the Capitol. Many units feature balconies, large sliding glass doors and wide views of the Capitol, downtown skyline and western hills, with interiors ranging from updated modern finishes to more classic layouts. Industrial-style loft conversions with high ceilings and open floor plans add another housing option, and garage parking is common. A handful of classic bungalows and American Foursquares remain, though many now function as offices. For outdoor time, residents can walk to the 22-acre Capitol grounds, Waterloo Park or Wooldridge Square, or head farther south to Lady Bird Lake for the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail, kayaking and paddleboarding. Dining options include spots like Clay Pit, Texas Chili Parlor, Phoebe’s Diner, Luby’s and Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea, while grocery runs are simple with Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and Royal Blue Grocery within about 2 miles and Target about a mile away. The neighborhood is about 2 miles from the highly rated Austin High School, with the University of Texas just to the north.
