Client Purchases South Austin Olympic Heights Home
Today (January 5, 2010) I was blessed to help a client close on the purchase of a home in the South Austin's Olympic Heights neighborhood. This D.R. Horton residential development offers homes that are typically smaller than in more expensive neighborhoods, and that are more affordable for many individuals and families. Homes in Olympic Heights range in size from 1,123 sq. ft. to 2,073 sq. ft. The average sales price in 2009 was $167,723, according to MLS data from the Austin Board of Realtors.
Olympic Heights is laid out well, and features not only nice, modern homes, but also a lovely gated community center and swimming pool. Another thing distinguishes Olympic Heights from other recently-built subdivisions: there are a number of 2-bedroom homes in 
the community. Not all homebuyers need or want 3-bedroom or larger homes, including my client. She looked at both homes and condos in several neighborhoods and decided pretty quickly that this home would meet her needs well! She was very excited to be able to begin her move-in this afternoon!
If you are looking for a very nice home in one of the newer and more modestly-priced neighborhoods in South Austin, Olympic Heights may be the neighborhood for you.
