The 1305 Lofts have been a long time favorite of mine. East 6th may be getting a bit too crowded for my taste these days, but it would still make an amazing live work spot.

This is one of 8 modern homes part of "The Frio" community near Mueller. The build out and finish looks to be a bit higher the standard east Austin spec build. There are multiple units available, some with downtown views and the ever illusive east side two car garage.

Flippers and builders pay attention, this is how you do it. I love the simple (read inexpensive) white tile used everywhere but with a twist on how it's installed in each location. The rest of the material choices are simple but clean and classic. K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid. Great house for an even better price. Bonus points to the develper for saving a house and increasing density by doing a condo regime. More of this please!

It's always refreshing to see a spec build with good interior design. I love how they keep things simple with the tile choices and get creative with the lighting. This one also reminded me how much I love a walnut kitchen and a concrete floor. Such a timeless look.

Finishing up this week of affordable modern home options in Austin is this modern casita. It shares something in common with most of this week's listings, its diminutive size. Living in a smaller footprint is probably the number one way to find a more affordable home. There are plenty of these casitas available and though they are a bit more costly than a traditional condo you do at least typically get a small yard.

The East Village Condos designed by Bercy Chen tend to be a love it or hate it design. Personally I think the bright metal screens are a genius way of adding character and providing privacy on a tight budget. If that isn't enough to sell you though maybe their proximity to Nickel City (and Quickie Pickie and Hillside Farmacy) will sell you on it. Bonus, this is a two story corner unit.
