Living at 2000 Lightsey Condominiums in 78704 puts you two minutes from South Lamar, where everyday 78704 neighborhood living comes with easy access to South Congress, Matt's El Rancho, Loro, and Radio Coffee & Beer. Tucked along a quiet, tree-shaded street, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom South Lamar condo offers a relaxed setup just minutes from Barton Creek Greenbelt trailheads and Zilker Park. The two-story layout makes great use of space, opening up downstairs with natural light pouring into the living room and flowing right into the kitchen. Fresh paint covers every wall, paired with brand-new vinyl plank flooring across the main floor. The kitchen brings plenty of personality to the space with a fun pop of color on the cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and great storage for cooking essentials. A stacked washer and dryer sits right inside for convenience. Upstairs, you will find both bedrooms with the full bathroom between them. Out back, the kitchen opens straight to a private outdoor space. The backyard comes ready for easy weekend hanging outs, complete with a partially covered deck, low-maintenance turf, container plants, and xeriscaping. Enjoy this space all year round! You also get a large outdoor closet out back for extra storage, plus an assigned parking spot right by your front door. Small 6 unit building complex, and HOA covers the water and gas utilities for all units. Set right in 78704, 2000 Lightsey Condominiums makes getting around town painless, with direct routes to Ben White, Highway 71, Downtown Austin, and the airport. Whether you are grabbing tacos on South First or heading to Lady Bird Lake, this spot gives you a cozy home base right in the middle of South Austin.
South Lamar, located between Lady Bird Lake and Ben White Boulevard, is a walkable and entertainment-forward Austin neighborhood with a strip-mall-meets-bungalow streetscape and a late-night dining scene. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around South Lamar Boulevard near Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, where marquees, patios, and food-truck lots keep the sidewalks in motion. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Uchi, and The Broken Spoke anchor the area’s cultural rhythm. Mid-century apartments and newer mixed-use buildings line the corridor, while side streets hold older cottages and small courtyards. Pocket parks and the nearby lake trail shape daily routines. The terrain rises toward Zilker, with skyline views appearing between live oaks.
