I am moving to St. Andrews, Scotland, but I just can't bear to sell my condo quite yet.

I would love to rent it to a fellow academic -- perhaps to someone who will be at UT for a while?

I would like to rent it for at least a year, but I am open to other possibilities (whether longer or shorter), for the right renter.

I absolutely adore my little place by the lake and I am hoping to find someone who will love it just as much as I do!

Here's some info about the condo:

Recently renovated, 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 2nd (and top) floor condo, in an excellent waterfront, secured complex!

Located at the very well maintained Riverwalk Condominiums, at 500 E. Riverside Drive, between Congress and I-35, you'll have your very own access to Lady Bird Lake and the beautiful, thriving downtown Austin skyline and lifestyle.

*Beautiful bamboo laminate floors throughout (approx. 793 sq. ft.).
*Ikea kitchen, complete with dishwasher.
*Two clean laundry rooms on the premises.
*Central Heat and Air and ceiling fans in every room.
*Fresh paint throughout the unit.
*Huge balcony off of both bedrooms, with a great view of the water and trees.
*Rent includes water, trash, exterior maintenance and, of course, I would be quick to respond to any problems with the unit.
*Canoe/boat launch on the complex grounds (just down from the unit) and two swimming pools on the property (one with a small fountain that overlooks the city skyline).
*Waterfront BBQ and picnic areas.
*1 covered parking space comes with the unit -- willing to arrange for another for an extra $40 a month or so.
*Fully furnished, with a full sized bed in one room (with Memory Foam mattress) and a twin sized bed in the other (with a Memory Foam topper).
*Lots of bookcases, with lots of books and CDs, but plenty of room for yours, as well.
*About a 2 minute walk to the Hike and Bike Trail, a 15 minute walk to downtown, a 15 minute walk to all of the shops, bars, clubs and restaurants of SoCo and a 15 - 20 minute bus ride to UT (bus stop right outside of front door).

The location cannot be beat -- central, yet surrounded by nature and, overall, a quiet, lovely place to live.

Not far from a great dog park, the entire SoCo/78704 area and the complex also sits right along the wonderful Hike and Bike Trail that runs along Lady Bird Lake.

Minutes from UT (bus stop right in front of the complex), clubs and restaurants, Zilker Park, Auditorium Shores and more!
