TYPICAL AUSTIN NEIGHBORHOODS
Central Austin is urban living: University neighborhoods, cultural activities, eclectic shopping, downtown lofts, hike and bike trails along Lady Bird Lake (Colorado River). Downtown is healthy, bustling with business, new construction and reclamation of old neighborhoods.
South Austin, affectionately known to include counterculture and artistic types, is home to many famous and not-so-famous musicians. Austin's well deserved reputation as the Live Music Capital of the World is evidenced by the highest per capita number of live music venues, most of which are close to downtown.
North Austin, along with close neighbors Cedar Park/Leander, Round Rock and Georgetown is more mainstream. North Austin is home to Dell Computers and tech companies like IBM, and has a mixture of more affordable homes and premium properties, depending on how far west and how close homes are to the hill country.
West Austin is situated at the edge of the Texas Hill Country and features a dramatic change in terrain. Many homes are situated on the sides of steep limestone hills, enjoying stunning views. Property values are high for Texas, but still bargains compared to other states.
East and Southeast Austin are the most affordable areas. For years, Austin's airport was located in east Austin and stunted its growth. Now with a brand new airport southeast of Austin, east Austin is being revitalized.
Northwest and Southwest Austin are more like west Austin, transcending from flat farmland to limestone hill country, with midrange property values.
