About This Home
As of July 2025***Motivated Sellers***A rare chance to own a single-family home less than one mile from historic downtown Buda! Located in one of the most charming and rapidly growing suburbs of Austin, Texas, 400 El Secreto St offers unbeatable access to local dining, live music, boutique shopping, and beloved community events—all while being just minutes from I-35 and a short drive to South Austin. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property presents the ideal opportunity for first-time buyers, investors, or anyone looking for an affordable home with major upside.

Investors will appreciate the long-term rental potential, while homeowners can enjoy the ability to customize without overpaying up front.
The location is truly the star of the show. Take a stroll to Main Street Buda, grab a coffee at Summer Moon, or enjoy a burger at Willie’s Joint. Don’t miss Roxie’s, a new restaurant from the creators of Salt Lick BBQ, opening just blocks away. The Buda Amphitheater, seasonal festivals, and nearby parks make this a vibrant, walkable neighborhood with the feel of a close-knit community.
Buyers looking for homes for sale in Buda TX under $300k rarely find options this close to downtown with such potential. Whether you’re planning to renovate, invest, or settle in, this home is a smart play in a fast-growing area with excellent resale prospects.
