Austin Proper Residences has:
Some hotel services are covered by HOA dues and others are billed when you use them. Ask for the current service menu and what it costs.
Albert's Take
Standout amenity: In-room dining and Proper Concierge from the hotel, plus an owners-only rooftop pool.
Rentals: Hotel-branded ownership. Ask which services are in your dues and which are billed.
Street level: The Austin Proper Hotel and its restaurants, including The Peacock.
Nearby: Where the Second Street District meets Seaholm, about 550 feet from the Butler Trail.
Views: Residences fill the top 20 of 32 floors, so homes start high above the street.
Selling here: With only 99 homes, listings are rare. Lead with the hotel services and the Kelly Wearstler interiors.
The Second Street District's restaurants and shops are at the door, including La Condesa, The Peacock at Austin Proper, Serenade at the W, Red Ash Italia and Jo's Coffee on 2nd Street. ACL Live at the Moody Theater and the Austin Central Library are a short walk away.
Austin Proper Residences is in Austin ISD. Every downtown condo address we checked was zoned to Mathews Elementary, O. Henry Middle and Austin High for 2026-27, according to the Austin ISD School Finder, but confirm zoning for this exact address before you buy.
If you already own here, the same list is your prep sheet for selling: request the resale certificate early, gather your parking and storage documents, and keep receipts and permits for any upgrades so buyers can see what they're paying for.

Leasing and short-term rental rules at Austin Proper Residences are set by the condominium declaration and the association's rules, and I couldn't confirm the current rules from a public source. In my experience, many downtown associations require a minimum lease term, cap how many homes can be leased at once (often no more than about 10% of units) and prohibit stays shorter than 30 days. If you plan to lease, read the declaration, the rules and the resale certificate before you buy.
The City of Austin also licenses short-term rentals. Under rules that took effect Oct. 1, 2025, an individual may operate the greater of one unit or 10% of their units in a multifamily property, or 25% at sites with four or more units and a commercial use, according to the City. A City license doesn't override a building's own ban.
The same rules matter when it's time to sell. Investors ask about leasing first, so owners who have the current rules and any leasing permit status in hand can answer that question on day one instead of losing a showing to it.
