Remember when I said don’t sleep on North Austin? This little updated mid century home sits on 1/2 acre with a 90’ cliff looking into Walnut Creek. It’s a bit beige from a remodel in the last decade or so, but it’s really not bad at all. Plus, did I mention the pool, or the greenhouse or the well under $500k price?
Price: $399,000

Read MoreWhile I am usually a big fan of updating kitchens and bathrooms in mid century homes, every once in a while there is a kitchen just to good to mess with. Such is the case in this house who’s kitchen was originally featured in Better Homes and Gardens. In addition to being an amazing house, it’s a great deal thanks to the slightly out of the “central” pocket location.

Read MoreLet’s finish this week off on an affordable note. This charming north Austin home is a lot of bang for the buck. This little pocket called Windsor Hills (not to be confused with Windsor Park) is my go to spot for affordable mid century modern. There isn’t a lot of turnover but when something pops up it’s usually a great deal.

Read MoreThe exterior on this one leans a little bit too much kitsch for me, but if you can get over that what you are left with is a nicely remodeled home for a good price. The bonus is that the Windsor Hills area (not to be confused with Windsor Park) is also a rad little pocket of mid century homes, all equally affordable.

Read MoreI hate to give all my secrets away, but if you've been wondering where all the good affordable housing went, it's time to get to know Windsor Hills and Copperfield. These are a few of my go to neighborhoods that have reasonably affordable mid century modern homes. Best of all most, like this one, haven't been messed up by investors yet. The possibilities are huge.

Read MoreThe only time I find myself near Braker Lane and I35 is if I'm on the prowl for some delicious Banh Mi. It looks like I just found a new reason to head that way. This home is quintessential mid century modern. Low slung roof line, clerestory windows everywhere, courtyard, and on and on. To top things off it's had a recent makeover that looks to be fairly thoughtfully done.
