Just south of Lady Bird Lake lies South Austin, the birthplace of the famous phrase “Keep Austin Weird.” Although recent growth in the area has made some of the original “weird” rub off, it still retains much of the personality that locals associate with Austin. Neighborhoods and homes in the area are a blend of old and new, which also translates to the must-try restaurants in the area. Old classics like Güerro’s Taco Bar or Jo’s Coffee on South Congress neighbor new haunts, such as the Elizabeth Street Cafe on South First Street or Uchi on South Lamar.

South Austin is also known for its close proximity to downtown, established neighborhoods, greenbelts and parks, vintage stores, boutiques, coffee shops, and a laid back lifestyle. Looking for something a bit farther from the hustle and bustle, but still with plenty of character? Check out neighborhoods south of Ben White with homes at a variety of price points such as Sunset Valley, Travis Country, Shady Hollow, Lantana, Legend Oaks, and Village at Western Oaks to name a few.

Highlights:

●  Tourist spots along South Congress and South First Street, including Allens Boots and the famous Greetings from Austin! Mural

●  Two spring-fed pools, Barton Springs Pool and Deep Eddy Pool, must-haves for hot summers

●  Close proximity to multiple Greenbelt access points

●  Neighborhoods ranging from close-in to farther out, all with their own personality

●  Homes known for larger yards on walkable streets close to all the amenities
