East 8th is one of the hottest corridors in East Austin right now. This is prime real estate in 78702—minutes from downtown, surrounded by new development and strong builder activity.

Both adjacent lots are being offered together for $989,000 total. Combined, the properties offer approximately 0.27 acres with 92 feet of East 8th Street frontage. The seller may also consider separate sales for the right buyer.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a larger site in one of East Austin’s most active and sought-after areas. City water and sewer are in place, the properties are located in Flood Zone X, and zoning has been confirmed for residential development.

Whether you’re a builder, developer, or investor looking for a strategic East Austin opportunity, this assemblage offers location, frontage, and development potential in a corridor where larger sites rarely become available.

At $1,108/sqft, this home is priced 183% above the Austin active market average of $391/sqft, reflecting premium positioning, typically tied to finishes, lot, location, or view. View Austin market report →
