About 5204 Charles Merle Dr

Built in 2015, this garden-style community sits in the Bluff Springs area of Far South Austin, where the pace feels a bit more spread out than the central core. The property includes a fitness center, pool, lounge, theater room and a cyber cafe-amenities that give the building a more finished feel than bare-bones setups, even if it's not competing with high-end downtown towers. Controlled access, a bike station and package lockers cover the practical day-to-day details. This is a two-bedroom, two-bath unit with hardwood vinyl floors, walk-in closets, a covered patio, washer and dryer connections and ceiling fans throughout. The kitchen comes with a dishwasher and garbage disposal. The layout gives you separate sleeping spaces and enough room to actually live in the place, not just sleep there. The building carries an Austin Green Energy rating, so utility costs trend a bit lower than older stock in the area. You're about six miles from Austin-Bergstrom and close to the Bluff Springs corridor, which has a growing mix of retail and food options. McKinney Falls State Park is nearby if you want trails or water access on the weekends. Tesla Giga Texas and the airport are both within range for work commutes, though this area is car-dependent-walkability here is low, so you'll be driving most places. St. If you've been stuck refreshing the same five sites trying to sort what's actually available and what's already leased, let us handle that part....
