South Austin StyleNot sure what keeps me here in the South Austin neighborhood of Bouldin Creek. Is it the laid back community driven atmosphere or all the public activity and creative energy that is apparent on almost every block. What ever it is my neighbors and I have found home in a thriving nook of Austin. It’s a great feeling to be able to walk to one of the little corner grocery stores or go on an evening bike ride to wind up having a good taco and stiff margarita. This South Austin community and culture made it very easy for me to call this place home. Ashton Brown |
Hyde ParkMaybe it’s the abundance of trees that makes Hyde Park feel like such a true neighborhood. You could jog around these shady streets for hours and never know you're smack in the middle of a big city until you emerge, blinking, into the glaring sunlight and steady bustle of Guadalupe Street. It’s a quiet, quirky little community of dyed-in-the-wool Austinites, from students to young families to aging hippies—an eclectic hodgepodge of people, but it feels like home to me. I love making the quick jaunt over to Fresh Plus grocery for some organic food or hard-to-find beer, and I have great memories of relaxing at Hyde Park Bar and Grill with friends, enjoying a mango margarita and a plate of life-changing French fries. At times avant-garde, at times laid-back, Hyde Park is a perfect little oasis of calm in an often hectic city. Amanda Johnson |
SouthwoodI love my neighborhood because it is close enough to all of the hip South Austin shops, eateries and coffeehouses on S. Lamar and in SoCo without the high price tag of 78704. I have neighbors who bike to work downtown, and there are many other attractions which are easy to reach on foot or by bus. These include Central Market Westgate, a local library branch (Manchaca) the new South Austin ACC campus, and a large district park (Garrison). One of Austin's major bus lines (#3) runs right up Manchaca, on to S. Lamar, through downtown up to the UT campus, up Burnet and all the way to the Arboreutum. A small family could easily survive here with one car and many people predict that Manchaca will someday resemble S. Lamar with residential homes on the street eventually being zoned commercial. Now is the time to invest in this neighborhood which is among the last places in Austin where you can buy a vintage 1940s or 50s home in an established neighborhood with towering trees for under 200K.

Oak HillWhat I love about Oak Hill is that it is close enough for a short drive to the city of Austin, but far enough away to feel like it is in the country. My neighborhood has beautiful oak trees and hills. My next-door neighbor has the best front yard potluck musical parties with at least 200 people that come to them twice a year. He is the best neighbor anyone could ask for and I could only find a neighbor like that here in Oak Hill. Sometimes when I drive around my neighborhood in the evening, I can see deer in my neighbors yard. There are great restaurants at a couple of small nearby shopping centers and music at Nutty Brown Café. One of the things I love most about my neighborhood is that it is quiet except for occasional barking dogs. There is an abundance of vegetation when it rains that cover the view of the hill when I look out to my back yard. I have a small cottage style house that I have lived in for over 20 years and I couldn’t think of any other neighborhood that I would rather call home. Diana McManus |
