A charming if small house on the edge of Cherrywood, this one-story, single-family home is asking the bargainistic price of $375,00. It bears a resemblance to some of the beloved postwar duplexes and other homes in nearby Maplewood in that it was built in 1949 and is made of concrete blocks.

2807 East Fourth Street #B

With a $409,900 price tag, this two-story, detached condo is a new build in East Austin’s Govalle neighborhood, which has seen quite a bit of development in the past few years. The 985-square-foot home has one bedroom and two bathrooms (a tad unusual, but it makes sense for a one-bedroom with a full master suite). It also has a small second-story deck above the one-car garage. There are no HOA dues.
