3204 Manchaca Rd

A low-rise condominium complex built in 1985, The Ivy occupies a cluster-style footprint in south-central Austin’s 78704 neighborhood. The community is primarily one-bedroom residences arranged on one or two levels with private entry points and ground-floor orientations in many units. Interiors commonly feature vaulted or cathedral ceilings, granite counters, built-in shelving and bookcases, recessed and track lighting, bamboo or hardwood-style floors, and in-unit laundry hookups. Several units show renovations including stainless-steel appliances, travertine or tile baths, updated cabinetry, and custom built-ins. Exterior amenities emphasize an intimate, neighborhood feel: gated entrances, mature-tree landscaping, balconies or covered patios, barbecue areas, a dog run, and a community pool. Parking is surface-level; some units are set back with no exterior steps for easier access. HOA coverage is modest and typically includes water and trash; the complex has sprinkler systems in sections. The location is a defining attribute—walkable to South Lamar and South Congress corridors, close to restaurants, retail, parks, and short drives to downtown Austin. The property attracts buyers seeking compact, updated urban condos with practical storage, outdoor space, and proximity to SoLa’s dining and transit options.
