Life at Chamonix: A Gated East Riverside Condo a Few Miles from Lady Bird Lake

By Autumn Saenz, REALTOR® & Property Manager, Pioneer Real Estate Services

Most rental listings start with the numbers. This one starts with a morning: sun coming through the balcony door, coffee in hand, and nowhere you have to drive to get to the good parts of Austin.

That is everyday life at 2450 Wickersham Ln, Unit 102, a one-bedroom condo in the gated Chamonix community in East Riverside. It is available now for $1,100 a month, and here is what living there looks like.

Inside: Light, a High Ceiling and a Fireplace

The living room is the first thing you notice. The ceiling vaults up over the space, wood-look flooring runs throughout, and a fireplace anchors one wall. In the afternoon, light comes in through the sliding door and moves across the floor.

The kitchen has stainless appliances, including a French-door refrigerator, a dishwasher, a built-in microwave and an electric range, plus a breakfast bar for quick meals. The bedroom has two closets and its own sliding door out to the balcony, and the bathroom is finished in stone tile with a tub and shower. At 704 square feet, the layout is easy to keep up with, and the flooring is low-maintenance.

The Balcony: The Room You'll Use the Most

The listing calls it a HUGE private balcony, and that is not an exaggeration. It looks out on mature trees and is big enough to be a real extension of the living room: morning coffee, a laptop on a mild afternoon, or a slow evening after work.

Behind the Gate

Chamonix is a gated condo community with key-card entry, security lighting, sidewalks, a covered mailbox pavilion and an assigned parking space for the unit. On warm days, the community pool is ringed by big shade trees and lounge chairs. Coming home feels settled, even though you are only minutes from IH-35.

A Saturday in East Riverside

East Riverside sits just southeast of downtown, between Lady Bird Lake and Oltorf Street, and it is one of the most convenient places in Austin to live without a long commute. A typical weekend could look like this:

  • Morning: a walk or run on the Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail, about 2 miles from home.
  • Afternoon: a swim at the community pool.
  • Midday: groceries at the H-E-B on East Riverside Drive, about a mile away.
  • Evening: dinner and shops on South Congress, about 3 miles away, or a show at one of the music venues along East Riverside.

Getting Around

Wickersham Lane is just off East Oltorf near IH-35, which makes the rest of the city easy to reach. Approximate driving distances:

  • H-E-B on East Riverside: about 1 mile
  • Lady Bird Lake trail access: about 2 miles
  • South Congress Avenue: about 3 miles
  • Downtown Austin (Congress Ave and 6th St): about 4 miles
  • Austin-Bergstrom International Airport: about 7 miles

Distances are approximate driving miles; actual times vary with traffic.

Photos only tell part of the story, especially when the best feature is the light. I'd be glad to walk you through the home and the community.
