3115 Helms St

A mid-rise condominium complex in central Austin built in 1983, composed primarily of two-bedroom residences configured for roommate-friendly layouts and practical daily living. Units typically include eat-in kitchens with granite or quartz counters, open floorplans, large closets, dual primary-bath arrangements in some units, in-unit washer/dryer hookups or stackable laundry, and private balconies or patios facing interior courtyard spaces. The gated property centers on a landscaped courtyard with an in-ground pool, hot tub, barbecue areas, and uncovered social seating; exterior lighting, exterior steps, and occasional additional storage closets are common on site. Parking is assigned with at least one reserved space per unit and many listings noting a second reserved space, sometimes covered. Building systems have seen periodic updates (roofs and HVAC on some buildings), and units show a range of finish levels from original 1980s details to fully remodeled kitchens and bathrooms. HOA coverage commonly includes water and trash/recycling; internet infrastructure often supports high-speed service. The complex sits within walking distance of the University of Texas campus, neighborhood restaurants, and transit stops, creating a student- and faculty-oriented rental market. Pet and specific service policies vary by unit and HOA, and buyers should review association documents for rules, reserves, and FEMA status.
