Exceptional opportunity in the heart of East Austin, where walkability, growth, and development converge. Located at 2909 E 5th Street, this oversized lot offers multiple paths forward—renovate the existing home, build new construction, or explore redevelopment options under current SF-3-NP zoning. The property is currently leased on a month-to-month basis, providing immediate rental income while future plans take shape. An added opportunity exists with the adjacent property at 2907 E 5th Street also available, allowing for a rare site assembly in a highly desirable East Austin corridor. The location is a true standout—just moments from Plaza Saltillo, Lady Bird Lake, Metz Park, Joe’s Bakery, Blue Owl Brewing, and a variety of local cafés and neighborhood favorites. Easy access to downtown Austin, public transit, major employers, and everyday essentials makes this an ideal setting for development or long-term investment. Opportunities like this are increasingly rare in East Austin, offering flexibility, location, and upside in one of Austin’s most dynamic areas.
