8200 S Congress Ave

APL103394456 - Built in 2023, this midrise sits in far South Austin, close enough to South Congress and Zilker Park to feel connected, but with more breathing room than the dense core. The building runs premium--think pool deck with cabanas, a fitness center with The Mirror, a yoga and spin studio with on-demand classes, and a full club room with billiards. There's also a tech center with conference rooms and rentable offices if you work from home, plus a fenced pet park and outdoor summer kitchen with BBQ pavilions. It's new construction with the amenities to match. This 1-bedroom, 1-bath spans 762 square feet and comes with vinyl wood plank floors, a chef-style kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counters, and a private balcony. The bathroom has a double-sink vanity and either a glass shower or soaking tub depending on the unit. You've got a front-load washer and dryer in-unit, which makes laundry day considerably easier. The layout gives you actual room to move around without feeling cramped. You're near St. Edward's University (about 4 miles), Google's Austin campus (6.5 miles), and the airport (7 miles). Barton Springs Pool and Zilker Park are close for weekends. The area is car-dependent--walkability scores around 42--so you'll want a vehicle. Garage parking runs $150 a month, covered carport is $40. Pets are welcome with a $300 one-time fee and $25 per month per pet. Apartment hunting is exhausting--especially when every listing feels copy-pasted.
