Last month we quietly received our FHA approval for The Riverside Grove and we haven’t stopped to look back. Qualified first time or VA buyers looking for a great place to live near downtown now have a great option at The Riverside Grove. This wonderful community offers so many features not found in townhomes or condos in this price range, and even some selling for a $100k and $200k higher that you must see it to believe it.
Another wonderful aspect of The Riverside Grove offering is its HOA fees, which include FREE basic Time Warner Cable and Wi-Fi. When considering the typical cost for these two services alone, the effective rate for the HOA fee is $65/month. And when you see how beautiful this community is, with its towering mature trees, lush landscaping, and the number of amenities that it offers, that too is hard to believe.
These factors, combined with the design and quality found in these townhome styled condos developed by Renaissance Properties, it is easy to understand why almost 20% of the units in phase one of this project, have already been sold. And it’s only been two months since our grand opening.
So if you are in the market for your first or next home, please don’t miss out on at least checking out The Riverside Grove by contacting The GoodLife Team for an appointment as soon as possible, or ask your real estate professional to show you our property. We look forward to seeing you here.

Activities at The Riverside Grove have increased at a fast pace as the end of our construction phase is in sight. Last week, one day after our first building was completed, our first home owner moved in to their condo and they are delighted. Over the next few weeks we will finish four more buildings, site work and complete the landscaping, but the project is looking great and we invite everyone to come out to see it.
The feedback from both Realtors and potential buyers has been very positive and we are delighted. Our quality and finishes are second-to-none here in Austin and people are noticing. Nothing speaks louder than sales and although we just completed our first building, over 20% of our units are already sold or reserved. So if you are in the market for a townhome styled condo and looking for great value and quality, please contact The GoodLife team as soon as possible, before these units are all sold out.
After months of deconstruction, repairs, and reconstruction, our Riverside Grove project is finally taking shape. The exterior of most of the buildings are just about complete and looking great!! I love the color schemes chosen for this project. Our pool is done and the fencing around the property is almost complete too and looking great as well. The new roofs are almost completed and the roofers are finishing up the metal dormers and awnings. Soon we will start the site improvements.
Although we initially anticipated finishing up the delivering the first units by the end of 2009, after running cameras through our sewer pipes, to see what kind of shape they were in, we decided to cut the concrete and completely replace the 40 year old sewers pipes, which were cracked below each of the buildings. Although this came at a significant expense, we decided that it was a the right thing to do. Our mission from day-one was to deliver problem-free and low-maintenance residences to our buyers, which they could be proud off and enjoy for years to come.
The Riverside Grove project is not your typical Austin condo conversion project. Our developer – Renaissance Properties takes great pride in the fact that the original buildings were stripped down, leaving only it’s framing and foundation and some plumbing and electrical. Everything else was replaced with new and superior materials in order to offer ‘Like New’ townhome styled condos with features and amenities that will exceed most buyer expectations and impressive energy efficiencies.
If you are currently looking for a residence near downtown Austin that you can be proud of, please contact our Sales Team – The Goodlife Team at 512-406-1076, to make an appointment to see our condos as soon as possible, and ask about our ‘Pre-sell’ specials. And if you are renting and thinking about buying, let us show you how you can buy at The Riverside Grove and why it’s a better deal for you.
Construction began at the end of July at Austin’s newest and exciting condominium project – ‘The Riverside Grove’, a townhome styled condominium community designed to capture the hearts and minds of home buyers desiring to live near Austin’s downtown for an affordable price (starting at $129,900), while surrounded by Austin’s beautiful landscape.
The Riverside Grove is not your typical conversion project. It is being taken down to studs, both inside and out, and rebuilt as a new green project with all of the energy efficiencies and quality you expect from a well built project. No shortcuts here. Only the best materials are being used and the design elements will be sure to capture your attention.
The first units are expected to be completed in March 2010 and these townhomes have already begun to sell. So if you are interested in looking at this property, call us at your earliest opportunity to make an appointment, as these won’t last long.
The Riverside Grove will soon become one of the gems in Austin’s up-and-coming area – East Riverside Corridor, where because of its proximity to Austin’s downtown, the City is targeting to spend several hundred million dollars for new infrastructure and revitalization of the East Riverside corridor, including extending the light rail to this area. The Master Plan can be viewed or downloaded from the following link: www.ci.austin.tx.us/urbandesign/riversideplan.htm. The City’s investment and revitalization will increase property values in this area, making The Riverside Grove townhomes a great investment.
The City of Austin is considering a plan that would close the southeastern gap of the Lady Bird Lake hike and bike trail. The Boardwalk Trail at Lady Bird Lake would extend the Lady Bird Lake hike and bike trail more than one mile from the east side of the Austin American-Statesman building to Lakeshore Park.
Currently, pedestrians, runners and bikers are forced to use the Riverside Drive sidewalk over Interstate 35. The city will be holding community-wide meetings during September and October to ensure that Austinites have a voice in designing her vision.
Take a moment and tell us what you think about this proposal.
Comment on the Proposed Boardwalk Trail at Lady Bird Lake
The new look of The Riverside Grove was achieved by an award winning design team, several of which have received national and international awards and recognition. Fine attention to detail and design, and strong aesthetic appeal were the key focus points of everyone on this team, comprised of architects, engineers, land planners, interior designers, and the color designers.
Renaissance Properties was chosen to lead this amazing team for its years of experience, multi-market recognition, and high quality and design standards. Together this team achieved an impressive and inviting residential project that blends a traditional look with contemporary features, wrapped into a green project that will save its residents money by using less energy and water.
