Thinking about what kind of home that price range actually gets you in Austin? From $400K up to just under $700K, the variety surprises—and might even impress. Here’s a peek at nine properties on the market right now, each with its own flavor and design charm.
1. Fresh White and Warm Brick Vibes
Imagine a home where bright white siding meets the earthy glow of terracotta brick below. That’s this one, with a sharp matte black metal roof and balcony railings adding a modern punch. The entry feels inviting under a recessed brick nook, and the concrete driveway shines wide and welcoming. Gravel and green shrubs soften every edge, creating a laid-back but polished look—a nice trick: balance that light upper level with a rich brick base, then hit it with some dark metal details.
2. Classic Red Brick with a Pop of White
This one feels like home the minute you see the rich red bricks wrapped with crisp white trim. The arched window above a black front door raises the style stakes instantly, bringing in just the right bit of old-school flair. A smooth, simple concrete path leads straight to a porch held up by pure white columns—you’re getting easy elegance here. Toss in a green lawn and a grand old oak, and it’s a cozy, approachable classic made to charm.
3. Cozy Brick Meets Bold Black Clapboard
Here’s a recipe: warm red brick meets matte black vertical siding for drama with a farmhouse twist. A clean white door with a brass handle and sharp black-framed windows punch up the contrast beautifully. Dark gravel edging the concrete walkway gives a natural texture snap. For those looking to mix timeless with modern, this combo shows how to make brick and black siding play nicely together.
4. Moody Charcoal with a Sunny Door
Grounded in dark charcoal clapboard, this house knows how to stand out without shouting. The upper story switches to pale gray vertical metal siding, lightening things up, then — bam — a mustard-yellow front door steals the show. Frosted glass and white window trim keep it clean and fresh. The gravel and native plants blend the house into its surroundings with quiet style. Pro tip: pair a moody base with a bold door near the front for memorable curb appeal.
5. Lawn-Loving Brick and Dark Details
A lush green lawn stretches out to meet this single-story with textured light brown brick walls, the perfect home that feels grounded in the neighborhood. Dark gray shingles and a matching carport add thoughtful contrast, while neat boxwoods frame the foundation, layering in clean greens. Throw in mature trees casting cool shade, and it’s a place made for easy afternoons and low-effort curb charm.

6. Brown Brick and Cream Stucco Harmony
If texture and tone had a duet, this would be it. Warm mottled brown brick hugs the garage and entry, balanced by smooth cream-colored stucco above. Dark gray shingles top it off to anchor the look. Drive right up on a wide concrete pad through sculpted greenery. It’s approachable but has that “well loved” vibe—suburban with just enough polish to feel fresh.
7. Mint Green Door Against Classic White Lap
There’s a reason the mint front door steals the scene here: it’s such a fresh twist paired with crisp white lap siding on a steeply pitched bungalow. Black iron fence and posts outline the walkway, bringing a faint industrial edge without turning harsh. Stone retaining walls keep things soft alongside rich grass and climbing vines, making the whole package feel timeless but playful. Bonus idea: a soft jewel tone door spices up any neutral facade like magic.
8. Stone and Cedar with a Sunny Surprise
Natural feels take center stage in this limestone and cedar-clad home. Rough stone walls mix with warm horizontal cedar for an organic yet structured vibe. The carport’s timber post details pull the theme together, while a soft yellow front door adds an unexpected sunny smile. An expansive lawn invites you in and leads the gaze to the textured chimney and trim. Blend textures and then add a pop of color—that’s the recipe here.
9. Sleek and Modern with Bold Black Trim
Clean white stucco shines under sharp black window frames and balcony railings, perfect for this modern townhome soaking up dusk’s purple light. The beige concrete base warms things up below, while soft exterior lighting frames a black door that just asks for company. Manicured lawns and small shrubs mellow the clean lines into a friendly face. Simple but striking—pair smooth bright stucco with bold, dark trim and geometric lighting for a look that sticks.
