And across the street from the Texas Capitol on the west side is the
Westgate Tower condo building. Built in 1966, it was the first residential high-rise building in Austin. It was controversial then and still a little bit controversial today, as it’s been designated as an historic landmark.

Across the street from the Capitol grounds on the north side is this small apartment building, right in the middle of the state office complex. It’s probably more affordable than the Westgate Tower condos, but that’s just a guess on my part.

If you want a home
on the Texas Capitol grounds, you could live in a squirrel nest.

It’s all about location, location, location
This is the tree with the squirrel nest. Talk about a high-rise.
