Description: Complete with housemothers, house-keepers and home-cooked meals, the residents of the Hardin House dormitories are treated to a home away from home. What started out as a single boarding house for a handful of girls in 1937 has evolved into one of the most prestigious dorms for incoming freshmen. Over the years, Stella Hardin acquired four more properties and expanded the first to house up to 223 residents.

Location: 2205-2207 Rio Grande Street, 709-711 W. 22nd 1/2 Street

The property, located in the heart of the vibrant West Campus area of Austin, is just blocks from both the University of Texas and the Guadalupe Street retail district, and just minutes from Downtown and Town Lake.

Size: The entire project consists of six properties, housing a total of 223 residents, primarily double occupancy.
