Just six blocks from the University of Texas, this gated West Campus condo offers a rare combination of walkability, privacy, low-maintenance ownership, and long-term rental potential in one of Austin’s strongest student-housing corridors. Ideally positioned for UT parents, graduate students, investors, or lock-and-leave buyers, this updated cottage-style condo at The Cottages provides convenient access to campus, coffee shops, dining, and central Austin while still offering a quieter retreat inside a peaceful gated community.

Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, large windows, rich oak wood flooring, and abundant natural light create an open, airy feel. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a newer oven, and an Electrolux washer and dryer. Additional updates include a recently replaced AC, Nest thermostat, and contemporary lighting fixtures. The spacious lofted second bedroom adds flexibility for a roommate setup, guest area, home office, or creative space. A private backyard/patio provides rare outdoor space this close to UT. HOA dues add value by covering exterior maintenance, common area insurance, water, trash, landscaping, gated entry, and shared spaces, supporting an easy, low-maintenance ownership experience. With its walkable UT location, gated setting, updated interior, parking, and long-term rental appeal, this is a strong opportunity for buyers seeking both lifestyle convenience and investment potential in West Campus.
