Most people either don't know where Burnet is or write off the entire town north of UT campus as uncool. When I first moved to the Burnet area, I was really surprised by how many cool things there are up and down the street. There has to be at least 10 thrift and vintage shops within a mile of each other, ranging from high end to run of the mill. Cool eateries like the Omlettry and Wok N Roll have tons of street cred at a reasonable price. Just off the road is a public library that used to be an old movie theater. The Burnet Road Self Storage used to be a drive-in movie theater. Lots of 1950's kitsch chic. Although when I first moved here, it was super cheap, it has recently gotten more expensive as developers have moved in and flipped houses.
