Longhorn Canyon Condos is a new condo development in Steiner Ranch located at 2601 N Quinlan Park Rd, between the University of Texas Golf Club entrance and Country Trails.

“Our target market are those looking to downsize and stay in Steiner Ranch and those looking for a 2nd home in Austin that they can ‘Lock and Leave”.  The condos all have golf course views of the 5th Fairway of UT Golf Course,” said Rhonda Durrill, Realtor with Avalar Austin Realty.

There are 36 new condos being built as part of phase II of Longhorn Canyon. The projected finish date for the first building, which will include 12 units, is mid-August.

Eight condos were completed in Phase I in 2007 by the same builder, Kemp Properties.

“Phase I was completed in 2007 when the market went soft.  Since that time, Kemp properties held on to the property waiting for the right time to begin construction again,” said Durrill, who is representing Avalar and Kemp Properties.

Phase II of the condos will be very different from the Phase I units, Durrill said.

All condos will be two bedroom and two bathroom flats with a small office. There will be no stairs in the units. The upper floor units will have elevator lifts for those that want a greater view without the stairs.

There will be wood floors throughout, except for the bedrooms and bathrooms, granite counter-tops, and custom cabinets. Energy efficiency features include 16-SEER AC units, gas heating, tankless hot water heaters, and insulated Low E double pane windows. All units also have concealed head fire sprinklers.

The condos are currently being offered at pre-construction price of $399,900.
