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.

Set on a quiet street with mature trees and no HOA, this home is being sold as-is and priced to reflect its current condition. However, it’s fully livable today—allowing buyers to move in now and renovate over time as desired. With its open living area, functional layout, and generous backyard, it’s a fantastic canvas to build value in a thriving real estate market. 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. Just 20 minutes to downtown Austin, 15 minutes to Southpark Meadows, and zoned to Hays CISD, this property checks all the right boxes for location, lifestyle, and value.

Schedule your showing today and see why Buda real estate is in such high demand!
