My take on The Bouldin
Walkable restaurants are the point at 1401 South Lamar. Odd Duck, Uchi, Ramen Tatsu-ya and Matt's El Rancho are all about a 5-minute walk. Greystar finished this 309-home building in 2025 along Bouldin Creek, with two infinity pool areas, a pickleball court and two dog runs over the creek, a fifth-floor lounge facing downtown, and a fitness studio with a Pilates reformer. Inside, homes have gas ranges, 8-foot doors, floor-to-ceiling bath tile with shower benches and a full-size washer and dryer.
This is the expensive end of my list. Studios start at $2,231, one-bedrooms at $2,463 and the priced two-bedroom at $3,811. There is no special, so base rent is what you pay before fees. Fixed fees add $169 a month, covering $75 internet, a required $50 garage spot, trash and admin charges. That makes a $2,463 one-bedroom $2,632 before gas, electric and water. A second car is another $50. A few SMART Housing studios are listed at $1,311 base for households under the income limits, which I can check.
Downtown is about 7 minutes by car, Zilker and Barton Springs about 6, and the Lady Bird Lake trail about 5. UT is about 12. South Lamar is a busy road and one review mentions thin walls, so ask for a home off the street side. Tip: since there is no special, ask whether a longer lease term lowers the base rent on the unit you want.
- Worth a look if
- you want brand-new South Lamar construction a few minutes from downtown, with infinity pools, pickleball and walkable restaurants
- Look elsewhere if
- you need a lower total monthly cost, a 3-bedroom, or a large-breed dog on the restricted list
- The catch
- It's expensive for a non-downtown address: 1-bed base rents start near $2,463, and $169/mo of fixed fees (internet, required $50 garage parking, trash and so on) come on top, with no published special as of today.
