If you love the outdoors, this comfy home could be just the thing. Close to the Colorado River and just a fifteen-minute drive from Downtown Austin, it's part of a complex that boasts a pool and a pretty, communal courtyard shaded by trees. And it's something you'll be able to admire, either from your apartment's private balcony or from a cosy chair or hammock in the gardens themself. Inside, the home is smart and modern, with styling influenced by the Texan landscape – think cactus, rattan and traditional patterns. There's a well-stocked kitchen so you can cook at home all you like, or choose to use the shared grill area outside for some homemade barbecue. If eating out is more your thing, you're in luck too. There are bars, restaurants and live entertainment options right on your doorstep.    

Twisting Trees

This bright and contemporary apartment comes with a surplus of luxury mod-cons and sociable outside spaces. Breathe in the fresh Bouldin Creek air and feel far removed from the fuss and flutter of Downtown Austin – and yet, less than a half-hour walk from all the action. The home itself is the perfect place to kick back after a day spent eating, drinking and doing, with its pastel blue tones, warm wooden flooring and chic decor. We love how the floor-to-ceiling windows offer urban vistas from the comfort of your sofa, although our favourite spot is undoubtedly outside on the private balcony. With sweeping views of the unspoiled landscape and comfy Acapulco chairs, we can think of no better start to the day than sipping your morning coffee out here. Fans of impressive viewpoints really will be spoilt for choice with the rooftop terrace and barbecue area overlooking the city skyline across Lady Bird Lake. There's also a gym, outdoor pool and sauna room for those looking to work off last night's overindulging supper. Speaking of, there's a host of local eateries to devour. Walk to Juan Pelota Cafe for breakfast tacos or Barton Springs Saloon for a cold craft beer – both are less than a twenty-minute stroll from your high-rise pad. 

Blue Sky Thoughts

Settle into easy living in this beautifully bright apartment with stunning views across Austin. Located in the city’s vibrant and wonderfully walkable Bouldin neighbourhood, you’ll have plenty to see and do within easy reach, not to mention a comfortable and relaxing stay at your home base. Inside, dark wood floors and cabinetry offset bright pops of colour in the art and furnishings, while incredible floor-to-ceiling windows provide an unbeatable skyline backdrop. Step out onto your private balcony to enjoy a coffee and a good book while catching some Texas rays, or crack open a beer at the end of the day and watch the sunset from your privileged position. With two sumptuous beds to wake up in each morning, as well as a dedicated desk space for any business you may need to do, you have everything you need for both work and play. Factor in the building’s communal outdoor pool, sauna, fitness centre and rooftop terrace equipped with a barbecue and there’s no end to the fun and entertainment in store. Outside of your home, Butler Metro Park is a five-minute walk away, Downtown Austin is twenty minutes away on foot, while all around you independent boutiques, trendy cafes and old-school Mexican cantinas wait to be explored. 


Ace High

Colourful mural-lined streets, mouthwatering eateries, live music venues – welcome to lively East Austin. This neck of the woods is quickly becoming the city's go-to spot, where trendy boutiques and cool bars abound. It's just a five-minute drive (or twenty-minute walk if you're up for it) to vibrant downtown, where you'll find even more restaurants, lots of museums and tons of nightlife options. We think this is a great locale, just  far enough away from the hustle and bustle yet close to everything. And with your own private balcony, a fitness centre and an outdoor pool back at home, even when you're not up for an adventure, you'll have plenty to keep you busy. Inspired by striking southwestern design, this stylish apartment has a warm atmosphere and a good amount of living space for two. Start your days with a dip in the pool or a workout in the gym before setting off to explore Austin. For a cosy night in, order a takeaway and snuggle up with a movie streaming on the Chromecast. Or if you prefer a bit of fresh air, sit on the balcony with a glass of wine and admire the city sunsets. The comfortable bed is a dream after a long day, and with a fully-equipped kitchen, keen cooks can try their hand at whipping up some Texas classics.

Feels Like Summer

If you love street art, then this apartment's East Austin location is for you – adorned with fantastic murals, each street is like taking a stroll through an art gallery. You'll soon be tagging all of your art and design-loving friends in your snaps. There are plenty of art spaces and vintage boutiques to browse or stop off at one of the many Mexican restaurants and cocktail lounges here. The Texas Music Museum is a ten-minute saunter or go hiking on the Tejano Walking Trail, which covers an expansive part of American history (twenty minutes on foot). Downtown Austin, on the other hand, is a thirty-minute walk or five-minute ride, where you'll find many late-19th-century architectural landmarks, such as the Texas State Capitol, as well as museums aplenty. On top of all this, it's only an eight-minute drive to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Back at this modern home, open up the door to the Juliet balcony in the open plan living space and enjoy some hash browns for breakfast. Later, head down to the outdoor pool and lounge in the Texan sun or swim some laps. This well-designed apartment has lots of lovely touches, such as the burnt orange feature wall, modern prints and on-trend bamboo furniture. We were surprised at how quiet this place is, too, considering it's so close to all the action.

Dance To The Music

In the heart of downtown Austin’s Second Street District, this cool apartment really strikes a chord. The raw ceilings and polished concrete floors add an industrial vibe that works perfectly against the cityscape visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s a fresh, contemporary space but the little luxuries like memory foam mattresses and fully equipped kitchen, really make it feel like home. There's a private balcony off the dining area where you can watch the world down below, plus a shared swimming pool and outdoor barbecue area for if you want to make friends with other residents of the building.

We love the cosy Southwest-inspired design, which features rattan chairs, woven rugs and a natural colour scheme. Throw open the door to the Juliet balcony and feel the breeze drifting through the space. Keen cooks will be happy to see the fully-stocked kitchen – ideal for whipping up Southern-style meals – while the Chromecast has streaming for when you crave a relaxed night at home.

Not far from downtown Austin, there's plenty to get up to in this lively neighbourhood. We love the colourful murals and bold restaurants, bars and boutiques that line the streets. It's an excellent spot for dining – we suggest trying the local Mexican eateries – and there are heaps of options right down the street.
