My take on Ivy Heights
Across East William Cannon from Easton Park, a few minutes from McKinney Falls State Park, Ivy Heights is a new gated community from 2025 that is still leasing up. Every building has elevators, which is unusual for a garden layout. The amenity list includes a pool with a heated spa, a demonstration kitchen, a library with a fireplace and a pet park with agility equipment. Select ground-floor homes have private turf yards, and some balconies face the skyline. Granite counters and wood-plank floors are standard, but stainless appliances and a full-size washer and dryer are only in select homes.
The whole community is income-restricted, with homes at 50%, 80% and 120% of area median income. For one person the caps are $47,050, $75,280 and $112,920. Your rent depends on household income limits and which tier you fit, and I can check eligibility. One-bedrooms start at $1,171, two-bedrooms at $1,400 and three-bedrooms at $1,610. With up to 12 weeks free, a $1,171 one-bedroom nets about $901 on a 12-month lease. The fee guide lists no required monthly fees, and the 50% homes include water, sewer, trash and pest control. Oddly, some 120% rents are lower than the 80% ones.
The airport is about 15 minutes away and downtown about 20, and you need a car. The breed list is long. Tip: the application is $25 instead of $50 right now, so apply soon.
- Worth a look if
- your income falls within the 50-120% AMI bands and you want new construction with elevators, a heated spa, co-working and possible private turf yards near Easton Park and McKinney Falls
- Look elsewhere if
- you earn above 120% AMI, have a dog on the long restricted-breed list, or want walkable shops and dining
- The catch
- Every home is income-restricted, so you must qualify under the 50/80/120% AMI caps. Utilities are only included in the 50% AMI homes, and in-unit washer/dryer and stainless appliances are only in select homes. It's a car-dependent edge-of-town location about 20 minutes from downtown.
