Visual Tour of Austin Modern Living

Opportunity knocks for those wanting a project and can turn around an almost cool design on a great Lake Travis waterfront lot with a boat dock.  This new construction Austin modern home is partially completed and was on the market last year for almost $2 million.  Now it's being sold as is for $500k. The lot alone is probably worth that.  Lake front modern bones for $79/sf...hmmm, the numbers could work for the right team to go in and finish up. This one is being sold as-is and will require the bank to approve the sale.  Call me for details.  512-413-0870 Austin modern homes

Swanee 21 Austin Condos
This weekend we showed the Swanee 21 condos in north Austin and we updated our Swanee 21 Condos page with an update of this project.

Swanee 21 Condos Location are cool hip attached lowrise condos just off north Lamar and Airport in the 78752 zip code area of central north Austin, tucked away in a quiet nighborhood setting just a few minutes from the Crestview Light Rail Station.

Swanee 21 Condos are Energy-Smart These Austin condos are designed to be highly energy efficient and should gain an Austin Energy 5 Star green rating, a very rare accomplishment for an Austin condo project. The Swanee 21 condos has on-site recycling, Rinnai tankless water heaters, natural gas stoves, low to no VOC paints and materials, solar power and Energy Star ceiling fans.

Living in the Swanee 21 Condos This a cool building with tricked out lines and double-take angles. From the street it looks stark, industrial, clean and simple. When you get to the second floor unit-access level you begin to see the architect's fun side with balconies that blend to walls and angles that could have been 90 degrees but are much more interesting this way. Mosty Swanee condo units have balconies. There are four ground-level units that have direct access to grassy yard areas. For more information on this great little project visit Swanee 21 Condos.

Commons Ford Ranch Park
One of the great treasures for those of us who live off Cuervavaca Road in the Eanes ISD in west Austin off 2244 Bee Caves Road is a little known oasis called Commons Ford Ranch Metropolitan Park. This quiet sanctuary of towering pecan trees is a great place to relax for a picnic, walk the dogs, do some casual river bank fishing or read a book under a shady pecan tree. In my opinion this is one of the best parks in all of Austin. Serious hikers should go elsewhere though, this is more for strolling and meandering through the pecan grove meadows and turtle watching along the river and creek banks. On a typical day you'll usually only see a few others enjoying the park giving you a sense of peace and space, which is a refeshing break from the busy crowds at the Lady Bird Park Hike and Bike Trails. There is also a boat launch and vollyball net set up. Pack a picnic and use one of the many picnic tables availabe although we usually just throw a blanket down on a grassy knoll under a shady pecan tree...ahh Texas. Click here to read more about Commons Ford Ranch Park in Austin Texas as well as tons of photos.

Austin Announces New Comprehensive Growth Plan
The Austin Statesman wrote today (by Kate Miller Morton) that the City of Austin is considering updating Austin's growth plan, the last of which was updated in 1979.  Hello? Update it already people. A link to the article is below.

Austin's Population to Double by 2025
The word on the street is that the Austin metropolitan area is expected to DOUBLE in the next 20 years.  That's a whole lot of peeps...and a whole lot of cars.  Most of the growth is from people coming from last-year's-news-hotspots like Florida, Miami, Arizona, New York, etc.  Austin's hot and getting hotter and everyone wants to be here and that's great, but the City of Austin had better play catch up to make the population boom sustainable on city resources and structure.

What Areas Should the City of Austin Focus on For Planning for Growth
I'll be interested to hear your opinions of where the City of Austin should focus their efforts in preparing for a double-dose-head-count and what are your main concerns?  Do you have suggestions?  I'll be happy to pass along your thoughts to the City of Austin or the Statesman newpaper to get your opinion heard.  Email me or even better post a comment to the blog below.
