Charley is a rare opportunity in East Austin. 4.5 miles east of downtown, 3 miles from Mueller (700 acre PUD), 4 miles from the University of Texas, and less than two minutes from a major thoroughfare, Charley is perfect for all types of Austin residents to own a home in the increasingly tight housing market that is short on supply yet high in demand.
Market Highlights
Lucy and George are our two most recent projects in the area. Lucy was sold out before commencing vertical construction (in early 2020). George has recently sold out on pre-sales at a 50% conversion rate with over 1100+ on the interested email list.
The Austin housing market has experienced incredible growth over the past year. Benefitting off recent national migration trends away from large cities, Austin has seen nearly 20% home price appreciation over the past year and currently has six weeks of housing supply on the market. The existing housing supply shortage coupled with high population growth and low interest rates, has created demand for single family homes that will remain at an all-time high.
As of March 2021, the median list price of homes in East Austin was $482,000, a 43% increase from the previous year. Housing inventory in Austin is only at 5 weeks, compared to a typical equilibrium level of 6 months, leading to record high prices.
Charley is less than 3 miles from Mueller, a 700-acre Planned Unit Development that has been revitalized to be an eco-conscious mixed-use development that includes residential units, chain retailers, office and film studios. On the edge of the site is a 30-acre Lake Park with jogging trail for anyone to use.
Surrounding the site is a plethora of open green space and civic buildings include golf courses, an elementary school, greenbelts and more.
Local highways and major thoroughfares pass through the neighborhood, making it easier to commute to other parts of the city. Public transportation is readily accessible with multiple public bus routes.
