The Linden has:
Confirm current amenities, hours and any fees with the association before you buy. If you own here, a well-run amenity floor is part of what you're selling, so show it off in your listing photos.
Albert's Take
Standout amenity: A cold plunge pool and sauna alongside the 65-foot lap pool, and two-story penthouses with ceilings of about 20 feet.
Rentals: Leasing rules come from the HOA, so check lease minimums and any leasing cap before you buy as an investment.
Nearby: The Capitol, the Blanton Museum of Art and the UT campus are all within walking distance.
Views: Depending on the plan, homes look toward the Hill Country, the UT campus, the Capitol, downtown or the East Side.
Selling here: Buyers here want the Capitol and campus location without the noise of Rainey, so lead with that.
The Texas State Capitol grounds, the Bullock Texas State History Museum, the Blanton Museum of Art and the south edge of the University of Texas campus are all within walking distance, and Judges' Hill is a few blocks west. Coffee, dining and parks are close by, and UT game days are a walk away.
Homes range from one-bedroom plans of about 842 square feet to three-bedroom plans of about 2,069 square feet. The five two-story penthouses run about 2,691 to 3,280 square feet, with living room ceilings of about 20 feet.
The Linden is in Austin ISD. Zoning near the Capitol can differ from the downtown core, so confirm schools for the exact unit with the Austin ISD School Finder.
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 The Linden 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.
