Proximity to Austin

There’s also Lucille’s — a craft cocktail bar set in a charming, renovated house. Play outdoor games or simply sip on the patio.
 
Art and culture enthusiasts also love 70 Rainey for its proximity to several historic areas and museums. There's the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center, which is dedicated to the preservation of Latino culture. You can also join the Tejano Walking Trail, a five-mile loop through the East Cesar Chavez and Holly neighborhoods. Learn about these historically Latinx neighborhoods while you enjoy the scenery of the area. 70 Rainey is truly in the heart of one of the most historically significant Austin neighborhoods.

Interiors


70 Rainey is as beautiful as it is convenient and well-appointed. Each condo is furnished with the most elegant, luxurious touches possible. Enter your unit to find soaring ceilings (up to 12 feet tall), wide-plank wooden flooring, and quartz kitchen countertops. The walk-in closets are spacious enough to accompany all of your clothing, and the master bedrooms are meant to bring the spa to your home. Free-standing soaking tubs (in select residences) and top-of-the-line finishes complete each bathroom. Everything in these units is truly custom, and you’re sure to feel at home.
 


The Architecture


70 Rainey is stunning on the inside, but it’s also quite impressive architecturally. Designed by Page Architects, the building stands out as a beacon of high-rise luxury and class. Page wanted to breathe life into Rainey Street, an area that continues to grow in popularity. 70 Rainey anchors the entire area and beckons people to explore.

All of the units at 70 Rainey are move-in ready. Make yourself right at home in your new unit, with its dual-pane windows, energy-efficient lighting, Nest thermostats, above-ceiling heating, and air conditioning systems, and extensive home automation systems.
 

Outdoor Spaces


70 Rainey might be in the city, but it’s certainly not far from some of the best outdoor areas around. The Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail is located at Lady Bird Lake, right behind 70 Rainey. This 10-mile trail winds along the lake and is lush, green, and very peaceful. It’s easily accessible from the building and is a great place to walk, jog, bike, or just relax.
 
You can also canoe or kayak at Lady Bird Lake. Motorboats aren’t allowed, which makes for a peaceful time on the water. Rentals are easy to come by. Try the Texas Rowing Center or the Paddle Shack. Gear up and get out — it’s all possible at 70 Rainey.
