My take on Encore Lakeside

The Lady Bird Lake boardwalk is about a 2-minute walk from the door here, with direct access from the property. Encore Lakeside is a 298-home Grayco Partners building on Town Creek Drive in the South Shore District, opened in 2025 and still leasing up. The rooftop pool and skydeck look at the downtown skyline. The building has concierge service, dry-cleaning drop-off, guest suites and a package system that takes refrigerated deliveries. Homes have plank floors throughout with no carpet, a choice of two cabinet styles, smart locks and in-unit laundry. Select plans add wine chillers or soaking tubs.

Base rents start at $2,180 for a one-bedroom, $3,823 for a two-bedroom and $6,365 for a three-bedroom. Those are 18-month lease prices. The special is up to 8 weeks free on select plans and lease terms. On 18 months, a $2,180 one-bedroom nets about $1,956 a month. Then add $210 in required fees, including a $75 tech package and a $75 amenity fee, and it is about $2,166 before utilities and parking.

Downtown is about 8 minutes by car, the airport about 12 and UT about 12, with Oracle's waterfront campus about 5. H-E-B on Riverside is about 5 minutes. Garage parking is $50 a vehicle, or $150 for a reserved space. Tip: ask for 12 and 18-month quotes on the same unit, because the special depends on term.

Worth a look if: you want brand-new waterfront living with direct boardwalk and trail access, a rooftop pool and a short drive to downtown
Look elsewhere if: you want an all-in price near the advertised base rent, a large dog of a restricted breed, or a budget under about $2,200 for a one-bedroom
The catch: Pricey for the area: base rents run $2,180 to $6,685 and $210/mo in mandatory fees comes on top, plus garage parking and usage-based utilities. It's still leasing up, so there's little review history so far.
