2-1 Rate Buy down with approved lender! Welcome to 2206 Alta Vista Ave, a classic Travis Heights duplex offering flexibility for owner-occupants and investors alike. Each side features 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath across 875 sq ft, with its own private entrance and backyard. Location is everything here — tucked into one of Austin's most beloved central neighborhoods, just blocks from South Congress Avenue's iconic restaurants, bars, boutiques, and live music. Walk to Big Stacy Neighborhood Park for the spring-fed pool, shaded trails, and green space, and enjoy quick access to IH-35 for an easy commute anywhere in the city. Both units rent for $1,700/month + utilities, with clear upside to market rent given the location and rental demand in 78704. Side 2 is vacant and move-in ready — perfect for an owner-occupant to live in one side and lease the other, or for an investor to place a new tenant immediately at market rate. Side 1 is currently on a 12-month lease with a long-time tenant, providing immediate cash flow. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Travis Heights — one of Austin's most walkable, character-rich neighborhoods, minutes from downtown. Recent updates in Side 2 include interior paint, new oven/range and new dishwasher. Buyer may qualify for up to $14,500 in lender assistance when financing through a participating lender.
