Major East-West commercial route

24/11/2008 01:31:05 -08:00

Fantastic dining area

23/11/2008 11:38:51 -08:00

If you are a fan of Asian food this is the place to be. The Kowloon, my personal favorite, is located on 100 W Pioneer St. It is a great family restaurant that serves a wide variety of Asian food. Also, on the weekends, it serves Dim Sum. You can pick tons of things to try and pay a fair price. The...

Great place to shop

23/11/2008 11:31:42 -08:00

Cooper street has several awesome restaurants including Hibachi Sushi, which is amazing by the way! Great place to go to on a date. The street itself needs some construction since the traffic can be really bad. People tend to run red lights often because the traffic lights take a long time to change...

Main throughfare, heartbeat of city

23/11/2008 11:18:30 -08:00

Cooper St runs the length of Arlington, Tx. If you start in the middle you can trace the history of the city as it spread out in either direction to accommodate its growth.

Major,old, commercial street, part of old Arlington

23/11/2008 10:41:31 -08:00

West Abram Street is part of the original Arlington city grid. On the far west end as it begins at the Fielder Street overpass, there are still large homes with spacious lawns, a block or two remnant of a upscale neighborhood of bygone days. This quickly turns to fraternity and soroity houses as you...

Great place to shop.

21/11/2008 20:57:09 -08:00

There is a lot to do at Lincoln Square near N. Collins street. This is where the main shopping district is in Arlington. I think no matter what your budget, you'll find a store to suit you on Lincoln Square. There's also a lot of restaurants in the area, so when you're hungry from all that shopping,...

Good place to work

21/11/2008 14:43:10 -08:00

I used to work right off of Watson Rd and loved the area. This is a good place to work off of because it is right off the highway and there are a bunch of fast food places to go to get lunch quick if needed. The area was neat and there is many places to live nearby so you can be close to work and ho...

RUn down and not pretty

21/11/2008 13:28:10 -08:00

When my brother lived here the area was not the best. Everything was run down and old. Streets were dirty and there was not a police presence so I did not feel very safe. Hopefully with the new stadium they are building things will get better for this area, but for now it is not pretty.

Up and coming area

21/11/2008 12:34:00 -08:00

When we first moved here this area was empty. Now it is starting to bloom with lots of restaurants, businesses, and things to do. This street has a little bit of everything. The only draw back is that it hasn't kept up the pace with the amount of people moving in. It definitely needs to be widened s...

Small road; big construction

21/11/2008 12:26:52 -08:00

There isn't much too this road. Maybe a couple restaurants and business. The US Treasury's "money factory" (that's what it says on their billboard) is located on this road. Mostly just houses and such. The one major thing about this street is the construction. Since it is just a two lane road, when...

Know when to travel this highway

21/11/2008 09:17:42 -08:00

If you decide to take I-20 just make sure you know when to go. Certain times are always really bad but usually it's pretty good. The busiest time I found is the evening rush hour of course when everyone is trying to get home they will have no consideration for you. But this is probably your best bet...

Excellent street to live on

21/11/2008 09:08:31 -08:00

I lived on this street for a few years and could not speak more highly of it. The neighbors are great. Very friendly and quiet. We even had a block party one year! I really wish I hadn't moved from here but I would and do recommend this area to anyone and everyone. There are parks nearby and shoppin...

Good for college kids but didn't feel safe

21/11/2008 09:01:02 -08:00

This street has a lot of bars and restaurants. I think it is geared towards the college crowd considering UTA is nearby. When I went there I didn't feel very safe though. There was a lot of traffic and pedestrians but I didn't see any police driving around to check on things. I'm sure it's great if...

Usually a good highway to use

21/11/2008 08:51:58 -08:00

For the most part I-30 in Arlington is a fairly good highway to use to get to your destination. There is minimal traffic and not much construction. During peak time be careful, especially during the summer and baseball games the traffic is going to be heavy trying to get to the amusement parks and b...

Great neighborhood for families

21/11/2008 08:46:14 -08:00

Saginaw (Saginaw Blvd is the main street that runs through town) is a great place to live. It's quiet, safe, and there are plenty of places to eat and shop at nearby. I love that there are parks close and the recreation center is awesome with the new aquatic center during the summer is the best! The...

Traffic is always bad

21/11/2008 08:33:54 -08:00

If you travel this stretch of highway more than once you will soon realize that there is never a good time to drive it. Traffic is always backed up, and there isn't even any construction or anything going on. Just too many cars for too little of a highway. Maybe they need to widen it or something to...

Family friendly street

01/11/2008 21:20:43 -07:00

Sparrow street is a very quiet and small street located in the Lower Valley part of town. It is only one block long, but the small size makes the street feel like a very nice community.

A Continually advancing street

01/11/2008 21:14:57 -07:00

Mimosa street is a main street which connects several much smaller streets in the the Lower Valley part of town.

Heavy commercial Zone

01/11/2008 20:57:09 -07:00

Lee Trevino is large street that stretches across the eastside of town. It is predominately commercial but there are sections of residential areas near the northern part of the street.

Great Street for the thrill seeker

31/10/2008 09:49:44 -07:00

Yet another of El Paso's haunted streets that everyone flocks to on Halloween night. It is said that a long time ago a school bus lost its breaks and couldn't stop for the old train tracks that were there causing it to get hit and all the students died. I know its depressing but so many people go t...

Off the beaten path but wonderful

31/10/2008 09:43:40 -07:00

Another well known and upscale neighborhood street lined with exquisite housing and the occasional business locations. This street will take you all the way up to the mountain where they very wealthy and elite society live. All along this street are great houses that look like they are out of some...

Peaceful and religious

31/10/2008 09:37:54 -07:00

Elm Street is actually right behind Piedras where I grew up and its a creepy but nice street. I always thought it was funny watching Nightmare on Elm Street while living with the parents. I guess what made it creepy is that there is a castle like church there that has few windows and I just get a e...

Most Haunted street in town

31/10/2008 09:34:43 -07:00

Yandell at one time used to be a large cemetery that held all the bodies of the best people in El Paso. Then they decided they needed to move the cemetery and make is smaller so that more residential housing could be built. It was a great idea but I suppose it disturbed many souls because most peop...

Bussiest Street in town

31/10/2008 09:30:30 -07:00

This by far is the most populated street in town, it will take you from North East to Central and to West El Paso. All along this street are shops, restaurants and some gyms are even on a side street, not to mention the apartment complexes that are placed all along it. At any time during the day you...

Great shopping and entertainment

31/10/2008 09:26:21 -07:00

This is really a great street to go shopping on there are so many stores to choose from. There are of course housing areas on the side streets but it is mainly a shopping street. Any and every store you can think of is there and restaurants are not in short supply at all. I suppose the reason for a...

One of the Oldest streets in town

31/10/2008 09:23:24 -07:00

This is actually a very neat street, I believe if you drive west bound on this street it will take you into the next city its so long. You can pretty much get anywhere on this street easily with very little traffic. They have great cafes and one gym on this street, mostly some small local bars tha...

Friendly, Estate type communities

31/10/2008 09:19:19 -07:00

This is one of the more wealthy streets in El Paso, most the lawyers, doctors and some celebrities live in this area. It is really beautiful as you drive down this street because all along it are little neighborhoods lined with trees, its really forest like. I love it because El Paso is such a larg...

Best Night life around

31/10/2008 09:16:40 -07:00

This really is a great street, all up and down the street are clubs, restaurants, shopping centers and the occasional apartment complex as well.

Quietest place on Earth

31/10/2008 09:12:08 -07:00

This is the street that I grew up on and there is no better place to live. It is located in the Manhattan Heights district of El Paso, Tx one of the most historical locations in El Paso. There is a great park just two blocks away from my house and a great restaurant down the street. The restaurant...

Offordable off campus living

30/10/2008 22:33:34 -07:00

Vaquero Lane is a street entirely populated by the Mission Ridge Apartment Complex. This gives the street a very uniformed look. The surrounding area is very quiet and pleasant to look at as the streets wind around the Franklin Mountains which are located literally next door to the homes in the ne...

Family Friendly street

30/10/2008 22:05:55 -07:00

Michelangelo Dr. is a quiet street that any family would be comfortable and happy to live in.

The street is composed of entirely mid-sized homes and all tend to match each...

Main Street Fort Worth Texas

22/10/2008 08:59:56 -07:00

This is a review for Main street in Fort Worth Texas.
I have spent some time here and visited often some friends.
I used to go here a lot in the past and this street has really
developed or improved with lots of shopping centers.
It has cleaner streets that are well maintained and not
just n...

This may sound rude but...

20/10/2008 23:42:44 -07:00

...I think Merritt is overrated. As a street with some of the highest property values in River Oaks, you might expect more from this hilly, superhighway in the middle of the neighborhood. People cut through here, and they are usually in a hurry. The houses look nice, but a few have been for sale for...

More like Hidden Oaks - very private

20/10/2008 23:34:06 -07:00

A patch of raod just off of Roberts Cut Off, in the heart of River Oaks, this double dead end is HOT real estate in this small town. People wait on lists, hound the elderly, and stake out estate sales to live on this street. Many of the homes are sold without ever going on the market. A relative of...

Ridgmar has really stepped it up a notch

20/10/2008 23:27:32 -07:00

If you have lived in the West Fort Worth area for very long, you know that Ridgmar mall was once a shell of a mall, a ghost town. These days it is thriving and so is its main front street, Alta Mere. New businesses are cropping up from Roaring Springs all the way to I-30, and there is more yet to co...

So much potential...

20/10/2008 23:18:17 -07:00

The main thouroghfair of the small town of River Oaks, River Oaks Blvd. is somewhat of a letdown. It has more than its share of washaterias, cheap cafes, pawn shops, and empty store fronts. In its favor, the Boulevard promotes community pride with flags and seasonal banners and signs as well as seve...

Boy are we growing

20/10/2008 22:54:13 -07:00

University has long been home to TCU, Will Rogers, Botanic Gardens, and many a cultural experience. But these days we are seeing more and more renovations and building. Don't forget about the Ft Worth Zoo, Farrington Field, Trinity Park, dozens of restaraunts and a great shopping center. All the sur...

Secret Treasure of River Oaks

20/10/2008 22:46:24 -07:00

Many residents would probably say that Merritt St or Club Oak are the most sought after homes in River Oaks. I think they are missing out on what Hassett has to offer. This small L shaped street connects Merritt and Barbara and was once an orchard with a large estate on the property. The homes on Ha...

Beautiful homes on quiet circle

20/10/2008 22:40:43 -07:00

Despite the soon to be completed natural gas drilling site, the street is a well kept treasure in this part of Fort Worth. The yards are large and manicured and the traffic is minor considering it connects with Hwy 199. You are within 10 minutes of the new development in Lake Worth and also Downtown...

Safe behind city hall?

20/10/2008 22:33:21 -07:00

Greenbrier is a small street leading you from city hall in River Oaks to McGee Park.
This was a freak accident and it definitley does not happen all the time, but I think it is noteworthy: In the middle of the night last year a car was speeding down our street and jumped the curb into our yard. Th...

Hooray for the Trinity River Project

20/10/2008 22:26:41 -07:00

White Settlement Road has blossomed over the last year with new developments, residential and commercial, cropping up all over. The Bass family has been working to spread the beauty of downtown Fort Worth, and this street has definitley reaped the benefits. Amartments, beautiful neighboorhoods, rest...

Small neighborhood feel for bustling through street

20/10/2008 22:20:48 -07:00

Skyline serves as a cut through or biway between HWY 199 and Roberts cutoff in River Oaks. The houses are mostly older, 50's style ranch homes. Over the last few years I have noticed a definite increase in curb appeal and that has definitely been reflected in the property values. Easy access to down...

Wonderful Pleasant Neighborhood!

20/10/2008 20:57:42 -07:00

All of the streets in this area are pretty quiet and relaxed. The roads are in great condition as is the landscape. Residents are friendly and active in their community, from group yard sales to council meetings. Near schools and other family related fun options. A great place for a daily jog becaus...

Fast paced road

20/10/2008 20:55:01 -07:00

The street could use some repairs here and there but is still fun to visit. It's home to the medical district and many restaurants. Always active even late at night. I probably wouldn't want to live in the apartments nearby, they look shabby. However, some of the residential areas behind them are qu...

fun to visit!

20/10/2008 20:53:47 -07:00

Camp Bowie is one of my favorite streets in Fort Worth. It's home to the Ridglea Theater for some entertainment as well as Harper's Bakery for some delicious petit fours or french horns. Tons of cute antique shops and several specialty stores give you lots to do while in town.

Gorgeous place to live

20/10/2008 20:48:54 -07:00

All of the houses here are unique and beautiful. The people are friendly and always outside with kids and pets. A nearby elementary school, Lily B. Clayton, is a great place for kids. I myself attended Lily B when I was a youngster. Parallel to 8th avenue but far enough away to avoid traffic and noi...

Fun road to drive down

20/10/2008 20:41:00 -07:00

Forest Park Blvd is such a fun road to drive down. If you are coming off of Interstate 35, head towards downtown and enjoy the winding roads as a mini roller coaster. Beautiful scenery including the Trinity River is all around you. A good roadside to watch fireworks from! Could use a few repairs und...

Busy Busy Busy!

20/10/2008 20:34:51 -07:00

Downtown Fort Worth is the place to be at night. Riddled with good cuisine and activities, surely a fun place for the family. Visit some of the quaint shops around these one way streets and you will be delighted! Main street is home to several art galleries and had plenty of parking for everyone. Lo...

Fantastic place to eat!

20/10/2008 20:31:00 -07:00

What a wonderful array of restaurants. No matter what your taste you will find something good here. Ranging from Thai to authentic Mexican (which is hard to find here), you'll always leave full and happy. Try King Tut's for some tasty Egyptian cuisine! If you work in one of the fine hospitals nearby...

Fun place to visit.

20/10/2008 20:24:30 -07:00

University Drive is a fun place to spend the afternoon. It joins the zoo with the botanical gardens and a large array of shopping strips. All sorts of stores to please people from all walks of life. Also filled with different types of restaurants for your dining pleasure. Near Farrington Field for a...

Changing for the better.

20/10/2008 20:20:49 -07:00

West Berry Street is a wonderful place to visit. My high school is located here among the numerous fast food restaurants. TCU is also just off the street with many college related stores nearby. The city has been fixing up the road near the campus for some time now. It used to be just concrete and c...

Quiet place to live

20/10/2008 20:12:05 -07:00

Ward Parkway is off of a busy street but far enough away to avoid the traffic noise. Very close to fun things such as the Fort Worth Zoo and a public pool. Great scenery and green atmosphere, a wonderful place for a drive. Most of the houses have been around for a long time and have very interesting...

Nice Neighborhood Street

20/10/2008 13:53:26 -07:00

Briarhaven is located in a more up-scale part of Fort Worth. The houses along this road are older, upper-middle class homes. They boast quiet streets and smaller plots, although many of the homes do have pools. There are some children that live in the neighborhood, but mostly they are Middle Scho...

A Fun Place to Be

20/10/2008 13:52:35 -07:00

Because Fort Worth is so large, many people forget that it is also a College Town. University Drive, which runs right along the TCU Campus (Go Horned Frogs!), caters to the college students. There are places to eat, coffee shops and places to just 'hang out'. Towards the other end of this road yo...

To the Park!

20/10/2008 13:45:42 -07:00

Overton Park Drive is named for the park that it surrounds - Overton Park. The houses in this area are middle-class homes and older. The park is beautiful and frequently has people there jogging, walking their dogs, bicycling or playing with their children. The area is quiet and relatively safe (...

Good Place to Visit

20/10/2008 13:26:33 -07:00

Camp Bowie, which still has the old brick paving in some areas, is a great place if you are looking for dining or shopping. This is a busy, noisy street that goes right into downtown, so those who are seeking a quiet place should go elsewhere. Additionally, traffic can be bad on this street, espec...

A Must See for any Tourist

20/10/2008 13:16:25 -07:00

Main Street Fort Worth is so unlike streets that I've seen in any other downtown. Along this street are shops and resturants and, ultimately the Fort Worth Stock yards. If you're looking for a great steak or some Texas BBQ, then you've come to the right place. Keep up to date on local festivals b...

Quiet Area of Town

20/10/2008 12:45:48 -07:00

Arborlawn Drive is a good connector between S. Hulen and Bryant Irvin North. There are no homes along this stretch of road, but there is a Jewish Synogog at one end and a few businesses along the way. On the other side of Hulen, however, there are some very nice, quiet neighborhoods with middle-cl...

Good Place to Eat

20/10/2008 12:34:08 -07:00

South of 820, Bryant Irvin is the place to be! Located not to far from the Hulen Mall, it boasts movie theaters, eating establishments and shopping. It also boasts quite a bit of traffic, so be prepared, especially during rush hour. There are several strip malls that have both well-known chains a...

Costco Here I Come!

20/10/2008 12:29:41 -07:00

Overton Ridge is a connecting road between S. Hulen and Bryant Irvin Road. While there are some apartments located along the road (probably middle to upper class apartments), it mainly has eating and shopping areas. And, of course, it boasts one of the four Costco's located in Texas. Additionally...

Good Place to Shop

20/10/2008 12:20:21 -07:00

S Hulen Street is home to the Hulen Shopping Center, a decent place to shop, see a movie or eat. Also, in recent years, new shopping and eating areas have been added, making this a good place to go if you're in search of something and you don't have anything specific in mind. Since there is so muc...

Quiet Higher Income Neighborhood

20/10/2008 12:12:53 -07:00

Black Canyon Road is a nice, quiet street. The homes are fairly large and there is an active Home Owners Association that ensures that the neighborhood is kept clean. Several years ago, speed bumps were added to keep people from speeding through the complex. The neighbors are nice but tend to kee...

South Bellaire offers high-end homes, very established neighborhood

17/10/2008 08:41:01 -07:00

South Bellaire Drive is situated in one of the city's nicer areas. Homes in the area are newer and high-dollar.
The neighborhood experiences very little turnover and is well-established. Neighbors are close and the area is secure.
Convenience to South Hulen shopping/dining, as well as access to Lo...

Williams Road convenient to Fort Worth and Benbrook

17/10/2008 08:36:18 -07:00

Williams Road is the main drag through an established area of single-family homes in the west Fort Worth/Benbrook area.
There has been higher turnover there in recent years, but overall the neighborhood is cared for very well, and has a neighborly spirit.
Many homes for sale in the area fit the "s...

Calmont Avenue offers affordable apartment living

17/10/2008 08:32:27 -07:00

Calmont Avenue on Fort Worth's west side offers plenty of low-income apartment living. The farther west you go, the lower quality.
Some homes can be found farther east, alongside Interstate 30, and certain parts of this stretch are established, well-cared-for properties. Moreover, you'll find renta...

Chapin Road --- most convenient for students, parents

17/10/2008 08:27:58 -07:00

Chapin Road serves as a main road for extreme north Benbrook and west Fort Worth. There are plenty of homes lining the road, which runs from Loop 820 to the traffic circle off Camp Bowie/Highway 377.
A main drawing point is its accessibility to schools in the area --- Leonard Middle School and West...

Softwind Trail friendly, established

17/10/2008 08:23:25 -07:00

Softwind Trail sits on the west side of Fort Worth, and is part of an enclave of homes now surrounded by apartments.
The neighborhood is neighborly, but has deteriorated slightly over the years. The main concern with Softwind Trail is the fact that it serves as a main thoroughfare from apartment at...

Not for my tastes

16/10/2008 12:48:58 -07:00

This street seems like a windy road. It’s a little out of place. I don’t think the shopping nearby is very good, and it can get rowdy at night. I think the people in the neighborhood are good, but the street isn’t perfect. There are better streets out there. Keep looking.

Not really Vegas

16/10/2008 12:41:55 -07:00

This street straddles the border between residential housing and other types of buildings. If you want to be close to the city and still have a more quiet existence in suburbia, then this is the ticket. There isn’t anything unusual about this street, but it is kind of boring. Still, you could do wor...

Nice piece of suburbia

16/10/2008 12:37:46 -07:00

This is a nice, suburban street in Fort Worth. The trees are beautiful, the people are nice, and the shopping is great. The street is just a short drive from all the great shops. Not the best quality street, but you can’t have everything. Overall, it’s a nice street with a beautiful atmosphere.

Very busy street

16/10/2008 12:34:35 -07:00

This is a really great street. There are a lot of things to do right by this street. The cool shops here are a big attraction. If you are looking for a busy place, this is it. If it’s quite you want, however, look elsewhere. I do really enjoy hanging around here, however.

Right by TCU

16/10/2008 12:28:08 -07:00

This street is so cool. I really like the proximity to Texas Christian University. There is a lot to do around here because of the University. If you are looking for something, chances are it can be found within a 10-minute drive. All the university students make for an interesting crowd, s if that’...

Downtown Forth Worth is cool

16/10/2008 12:21:24 -07:00

What a beautiful place. Downtown Fort Worth is really quite an amazing place. I always drive through here when I visit Fort Worth. The high-rise buildings contrast with all the small shops that make Forth Worth so awesome. There is also a theatre close by that is simply jaw dropping.

Good place for a nice quite drive

15/10/2008 17:46:33 -07:00

This street is a nice place to go for a drive. It is quite, and the trees are usually very beautiful. It is a quiet neighborhood, so if you are looking for a place to live, this is something to think about. Personally, I wouldn’t to live somewhere so quiet, but it’s up to you.

Very nice street to drive through

15/10/2008 17:42:34 -07:00

I stay about a block from this street when I visit Fort Worth. I sort of wish I stayed here. It is really beautiful, especially in spring when all the trees bloom. The street seems well maintained and safe, which is always very important. Overall, I would say this is a great street.

Main Street a must see for residents and visitors alike

15/10/2008 10:03:14 -07:00

Main Street, as you've probably guessed, starts in the middle of downtown Fort Worth.
The Tarrant County Convention Center --- which is home to many sporting events, concerts, and, well ... conventions --- serves as the street's start.
From there you can travel toward Sundance Square, where there'...

Hulen the center of activity in southwest Fort Worth

15/10/2008 09:55:57 -07:00

South Hulen Street is the destination for a wide range of the city's residents --- any day of the week. The main attraction is Hulen Mall, which offers typical department store anchors surrounding typical mall stores and restaurants.
Outside the mall, you can find numerous restaurants, a movie thea...

Affordable living Las Vegas Trail's calling card

15/10/2008 09:49:08 -07:00

Las Vegas Trail is the most densely apartment-populated area on the west side of Fort Worth. Many low-income apartments are available just south of Interstate 30. The area offers several restaurants, laundromats, gas stations and convenience stores, but not much else.
Its main purpose is being a ma...

Straight to the heart of Fort Worth

15/10/2008 09:43:51 -07:00

Camp Bowie Boulevard is probably the most charming busy street the city offers.
There's plenty of shopping at smaller shops and chain retail stores, as well as a wide assortment of restaurants to choose from, should you visit.
Bricks still pave much of the road as you head into downtown, adding to...

Plenty of variety on University Drive

15/10/2008 09:38:36 -07:00

If you're looking for something fun to do in Fort Worth, odds are University Drive is the ticket.
North of Interstate 30 you'll find the Fort Worth Zoo and Botanical Gardens. To the south, you can take in the sights on the Texas Christian University campus, or stop in at Ol' South Pancake House for...

My favorite Street

15/10/2008 00:05:04 -07:00

I love this street. It has wide streets and beautiful houses. The tress give lot of privacy, although it is rarely needed. The neighbors seem to get along well and it just generally has a nice look to it. I really want to live here if I could ever get it together.

Not my favorite place, but still good

14/10/2008 23:57:22 -07:00

This street is ok. I drive through there when I visit Forth Worth, and it seems to be really quite. I like something a little closer to excitement. I know there is a mall close by, but I would prefer to have something in the neighborhood. If, however, you like a quite street, this is the place for y...

One of the few remaining parts of Plano that has peace and quiet!!!

05/09/2008 21:46:39 -07:00

Los Rios Boulevard is in East Plano. The neighborhood is populated with $500k to $750k homes mostly housed with families with kids and some affluent couples who prefer to stay in the quieter side of Plano closer to Central Expressway (Hwy-75), which is about 8 minutes away from Los Rios.

The nei...

Quiet, very pleasant and nicest neighborhood. Best place to live with family and kids.

30/08/2008 15:17:58 -07:00

Very very good.
Clean, neat, quiet, crime free and a perfect place for families living.
Very convenient grocery and tons of parks around.

Lots of Retail, but Inconvenient for the Price you Pay

27/08/2008 23:16:03 -07:00

Although there is a huge shopping mall and lots of high end retail, this should for all circumstances be considered the suburbs. Close to Hwy 183 for commuting, but there is normally traffic and you have to get over to Mopac to get where you're going in town. For the extra trouble of living so far o...

A Little Bit Ghetto - But Overall Not Too Bad

27/08/2008 23:12:33 -07:00

There seems to be a lot of poverty in this area, although it is not necessarily a poor part of town. The neighborhoods nearby are cute and seem to be well maintained, but so much of the commercial areas and shopping centers seem dirty. There is always a ton of foot traffic near the HEB and the libra...

Close to central Austin without breaking the bank

27/08/2008 23:09:15 -07:00

Lots of cute little houses and apartments. Someone has even come through and built some ultra-cool duplexes and condos. On the #3 bus route and close to the hip Burnet road area. Also close to Lamar. Nice coffee house at Woodrow and Koenig. Hwy 2222 is a convenient way to either Mopac, Lamar or I-35...

Frat House row

27/08/2008 23:05:33 -07:00

This part of West Campus is full of college students and close to a lot of fraternity and sorority houses. If you are into that type of thing and want to be walking distance from UT and major bus routes to downtown, then this is the place for you. If you are looking for someplace secluded and quiet,...

The Infamous Austin "Drag"

27/08/2008 23:02:15 -07:00

Guadalupe is the main lifeline of the University of Texas at Austin. You'll find lots of awesome restaurants like Madam Mam's Noodle House, Kerbey Lane, and a dozen other places too numerous to be listed. Fun vintage clothing stores abound, as do eclectic shops like Toy Joy. Colorful, exciting, but...

Is it residential or is it high traffic?

27/08/2008 22:58:13 -07:00

Braker lane suffers because it is part residential and part high-traffic thru-way. It could be an easy way to get across north Austin, but it is hampered by school zones and residential areas. Likewise, all the traffic makes it a little bit noisy for the homes just off Braker. Braker has a post offi...

Hidden Hipster Area to the North

27/08/2008 22:53:10 -07:00

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...

Overlooked Cousin to Famous 6th Street

27/08/2008 22:48:01 -07:00

People go downtown and often overlook the cool clubs that are not on the 6th street strip. The Red River clubs usually are more laid back, less glitzy, and just as cool as their 6th street cousins. Stubbs is an Austin classic, and Emo's is a big favorite as well. Be careful walking around as you get...

6th Street - A Great Place to Visit, But...

27/08/2008 22:44:18 -07:00

6th Street is Austin's mecca for college kids and tourists. Featuring lots of bars, live music, and entertainment, there are tons of things to do downtown. Festivals like South By Southwest heat up this hot spot even more. However, if you live in Austin and are not of college age, you might quickly...

Copperfield neighborhood - affordable way to live in Austin

27/08/2008 22:40:14 -07:00

It is hard to find an affordable neighborhood in Austin, but this one has it all. Close to schools (Pflugerville ISD), just down the Yager Lane from any shopping you could want, lots of greenbelt and walking trails nearby, and a local church even has a disc golf course. Plus, the price is right. The...

Affordable Student Living

26/08/2008 17:25:49 -07:00

Wood Hollow Drive is a great place to live for UT students who want a nice, safe, and affordable place to live without the hassle and expense of living on campus. The Far West UT shuttle offers a quick ride to campus, and there is plenty of affordable apartments in the neighborhood that cater to th...

Texas State Surplus Property Bonanza!

26/08/2008 17:19:25 -07:00

Bolm Road may not look like much with it's drab Texas government offices and warehouses, but it is home to one of the coolest stores in Austin - the Texas state surplus property store. Ever wonder where that pocketknife that you got confiscated at the airport went? Look no further. There are bins...

The home of Austin music

26/08/2008 17:13:47 -07:00

Sixth Street may get all the credit for being the heart of Austin nightlife, but Red River is really where it's at for the local Austin music scene. Sure, big venues like Stubb's and Emo's may get a lot of the national acts, but here there are lots of cool, dingy rock clubs for the more adventurous...

Come to the bridge to see the bats...

26/08/2008 17:10:24 -07:00

When in Austin, it's well worth your time to go see the bats at the South 1st Street bridge just south of Town Lake. In the balmy summer months, the United States' largest urban bat colony flies out at dusk to go catch bugs and do whatever it is that bats do during the night. The sight of hundreds...

The Heart of Austin

26/08/2008 17:05:39 -07:00

Lamar Boulevard stretches nearly the entire North/South length of Austin. It's a great main thoroughfare to take if you're not into getting on the highway. Driving down Lamar will take you past UT, past the Whole Foods flagship store, and into the heart of South Austin. There are lots of Austin l...

Great for a scenic Sunday drive

25/08/2008 18:41:08 -07:00

If you want to get a view of the natural beauty that Austin has to offer, a casual drive down 360 (also known as The Capital of Texas Highway) is sure to do the trick. Take some time on a weekend to drive from 183 North to 290 on the south side of Austin. Going on a weekday probably isn't a good i...

Big city street, college town vibe

25/08/2008 18:37:39 -07:00

No trip to Austin is complete without a trip to "The Drag" - Guadalupe Street on the west site of the UT campus. There are lots of shops and little restaurants to check out, as well as some great people-watching as college students stroll by. Stop by the UT Co-op to deck yourself out in burnt oran...

South Austin Vibe, North Austin Location

25/08/2008 18:31:54 -07:00

South Congress tends to get all the credit for keeping Austin weird, but if you like Austin weirdness without the taint of gentrification, Burnet Road is your spot. Driving up and down this street will give you a taste of what makes Austin great - garish signs, funky second hand stores, and lots of...

North Austin Convenience

25/08/2008 18:27:35 -07:00

If you are going to live in North Austin, chances are you're going to find yourself on Anderson Lane sooner or later. It may not be very exciting, but there are plenty of staple places that will take you there. The Alamo Drafthouse is always a great stop for a movie and a beer. Be sure to try Zen...

Just off the beaten path, but has everything you need.

25/08/2008 18:23:45 -07:00

Far West Boulevard may seem to be a little out of the way for seasoned Austinites, but it's actually a pretty great place to live. There are plenty of apartment complexes nearby that cater to the University of Texas student crowd (there's a UT shuttle route that starts on Far West). There are all...

Idyllic family cul de sac

25/08/2008 18:12:08 -07:00

Prairie Hen Cove is one of the cul de sac streets off of Prairie Hen Lane in the Gracy Woods neighborhood of north Austin, where I lived for several years. The neighbors are very friendly; when someone has a baby they take turns bringing full dinners to the new family. The kids play together at each...

Look for the TMI Castle!

23/08/2008 19:03:02 -07:00

When I worked off Lamar, I'd often go to the Einstein Brother's there and looking up you could see the ramparts of a castle. Curious, I drove up to 11th Street and located the TMI Castle. This beautiful house has been abandoned for years, and was for sale it seemed. Last month, I watched the documen...

A Good View of the Austin Hills

23/08/2008 18:47:57 -07:00

This road is also called Loop 360, and it loops around Austin. For a scenic drive, I recommend driving north on the road off 183 during the day. You wind around the area with lovely views of the hills of Austin, and eventually you cross over the Colorado on the Percy V. Pennybacker, Jr. Bridge. Keep...

I loved it here!

23/08/2008 18:37:28 -07:00

This is the best street I've ever lived on, hands down. I sublet a beautiful loft apartment for a summer internship and it was great. This is an area where it's just laid-back college kids with really Bohemian homes. Very quiet and peaceful. The only problem I ever had was loud parties occasionally,...

Nice restaurants on the Lake

23/08/2008 18:19:59 -07:00

This is a nice road that leads to Lake Austin. As you approach the lake, you will come across an outcropping of restaurants. This is a nice place to take an out-of-town guest or meet a date. I came here a couple of times with coworkers, and once just to be alone for a couple of hours and read a book...

Very cool stores on this road!

23/08/2008 18:11:10 -07:00

My favorite thing about this street is when you head north up it, many of the stores have giant novelty items atop them: for example, a light bulb and a trophy for stores selling those items. I wanted to take photos of all of them, but never got around to it. There are many interesting resale/vintag...

Lovely homes- some ghosts?

23/08/2008 18:00:04 -07:00

I visited the area where Guadalupe and W. 7th Street intersect on an Austin Ghost Tour about three years ago. This area has some beautiful old houses on a quiet portion of the street. It makes for a lovely walk, and it's made even more interesting if you're familiar with the history of the area. I s...

Not a Good Place to Live- Trust Me!

23/08/2008 17:56:19 -07:00

I moved here while I had a short-term job in Austin. I sublet an apartment from another couple. The apartment was nice on the inside, but not nice at ALL on the outside. I would literally run from my car to my apartment if I got home after dark. At night the air would be filled with the sound of pol...

The best place to look for guitar equipment in Austin

23/08/2008 17:35:57 -07:00

My husband used to visit me in Austin while I worked there, and as a musician, he would occupy himself while I was at work by looking at all the guitar shops on Lamar. It really it a treasure-trove of stores, and it's a great testament to how musical Austin really is. Lamar also hosts some other gre...

Worth a detour

22/08/2008 23:35:45 -07:00

Neches is a little street off of the main drag of 6th Street in downtown Austin. It's worth a detour if you're out at night for the couple of establishments you'll find here. Lovejoy's is a dark little bar, full of antiques and wooden parlor atmosphere, in which everyone seems to flout the no smokin...

Rockin street for nightlife

22/08/2008 23:27:06 -07:00

Red River street in downtown Austin is where you'll find more of the rock clubs of Austin. At the intersection with 6th street there is Emo's, a three stage all ages multiplex which features both touring and local acts. I like their big outdoor hang out area in between two of the stages, which is on...

A Big City street in a small city

22/08/2008 23:10:08 -07:00

Being on the renovated 2nd street feels way different than a visit to Austin's older streets. It feels like a half million dollar condo loft (of which there are plenty here) and makes the rest of Austin seem like a ramshackle cottage. Neatly laid bricks, well placed matching benches, upscale boutiqu...

The fun filled road to the Springs!

22/08/2008 22:47:21 -07:00

First of all, Barton Springs park and pool located on this road are one of the most amazing places to visit in Austin. Being inside the long pool, especially facing the natural rock wall, makes you feel like you're on some remote wild retreat... until you see the Austin skyline over the treetops. Th...

Good street for strolling and people watching

22/08/2008 22:31:28 -07:00

Guadalupe by the University is a good street for a long walk, surrounded by college students. It has an interesting mix of local & chain eateries and small boutiques that are fun to browse, not to mention the formidable Church of Scientology headquarters. The huge wide sidewalk unfortunately doesn't...

4th Street Is 6th Steet For Adults

22/08/2008 15:07:19 -07:00

4th Street is known as the Warehouse District in Austin and, like 6th Street, is home to dance clubs, bars and speakeasy's. The big difference though is that while the bars cater to college kids on 6th Street, the bars on 4th Street are looking for a more sophisticated customer. Places like 219 West...

Downtown Austin Is Cleaning Up

22/08/2008 14:58:21 -07:00

While many old time Austin residents despise many of the changes that are happening downtown, I think they are vital to the success of transforming Austin into a true City. The newly renovated 2nd Street District is a perfect example of this. Fancy high rise condos and apartments line the street now...

Busy road, but it leads to greatness

22/08/2008 14:53:25 -07:00

I always get excited with I turn onto Barton Springs Road off Lamar because I know the springs (namesake of the road) and Zilker Park are nearby. However, there is more to Barton Springs than the fabulous recreational opportunities. The street is lined with eateries, including Romeos, a great Italia...

Flip Happy Crepes

22/08/2008 14:50:26 -07:00

Flip Happy Crepes is located in an Airstream trailer on Jessie Street in South Austin. I first noticed this place when it was featured on 'Throwdown With Bobby Flay' on the Food Network. They make the best savory (similar to wraps with the crepe replacing the tortilla) and sweet crepes ever! Check t...

South Austin Cool

22/08/2008 14:45:01 -07:00

South First Street in Austin has a quainter feel than the touristy South Congress and the busy South Lamar. Located between the two behemoths, South First seems to focus more on relaxation. There's a Torchy's Taco trailer sitting alongside a creek and lots of small businesses where you can get that...

South Lamar Is South Austin Hip

22/08/2008 14:38:12 -07:00

The SoLa area of South Austin is the place to go for all your food cravings. There is a Kerbey Lane Cafe here which is Austin's answer to the 24 hour diner - except way better. There is an Alamo Drafthouse which is pretty much the greatest movie theater ever - great food and drink plus first run mov...

The Conversion Is Almost Complete!

22/08/2008 14:29:55 -07:00

The City of Austin has recently made West Cesar Chavez a two way street which should really help with downtown traffic. This is part of a major renovation project which, when finished, will be a great addition to the downtown area. City Hall is the anchor to the street and during the summer, they pu...

Barton Springs Road Is The Real Austin

22/08/2008 14:22:02 -07:00

Barton Springs Road is home to some of the most famous restaurants in Austin. The original Chuys is here - the one made infamous by serving the underage Bush daughters! Also here is Shady Grove, featuring the coolest patio in town and live music on Thursdays. Rounding out the list is Baby Alcapulco'...

Excellent Greenbelt Access From Spyglass Drive

22/08/2008 14:13:50 -07:00

Spyglass Drive is located off of Mopac just south of Zilker Park and offers awesome views of downtown. It contains a mix of apartments, duplexes, office buildings and a few mansions hanging off the cliffs overlooking Barton Creek. It is rumored that the largest of these mansions is owned by Sandra B...

Strolling West Riverside Drive

22/08/2008 14:05:35 -07:00

We enjoy West Riverside Drive a few times a week. We usually park by Butler Park and walk on the Town Lake Trail. We love watching the dogs swim and play at Auditorium Shores, seeing performances on the lawn of the Long Center and relaxing on the hill in Butler Park, watching the kids play in the da...

First Thursday On South Congress

22/08/2008 13:55:37 -07:00

On the first Thursday of each month, the shops stay open late on South Congress. In the open lots people set up artisan markets and sell their wares. There is music, dancing and performances all over and the area has a festival atmosphere. We usually start on the southbound side and walk down to Mag...

Gateway to the most spectacular views of Austin and the Colorado River!

21/08/2008 19:49:22 -07:00

I discovered this street while searching on the web for beautiful hiking areas in Austin. Mount Bonnell was mentioned again and again as a fantastic location for hiking (although it is a very easy path), and also to get some great photos of the area. I found Mt. Bonnell Road easily enough--it's righ...

College Students, don't be fooled

21/08/2008 18:37:12 -07:00

Riverside and the surrounding streets are home to a huge number of apartment complexes marketed towards University of Texas students looking for cheaper rent. However, the area is definitely not worth the price. It may be cheap, but you'll be looking at a long bus ride to campus, with traffic bogg...

An Austin Must-Visit

21/08/2008 18:32:12 -07:00

Every weekend, South Congress sees swarms of visitors checking out the plethora of local shops and restaurants. Food options are varied and generally of quality, meaning plenty of good places to stop for food when you're tired of shopping. Stores of all kinds abound, with artisan markets selling l...

Quiet and accessible

21/08/2008 18:27:25 -07:00

Quiet little street with plenty of apartments that is close to a lot of things. Mostly college students living here. The one problem if you're trying to get to the University of Texas is that it is definitely too far to walk. A bike is definitely needed, unless you're willing to ride the bus. Besid...

Big Road, but Bad Traffic

21/08/2008 18:24:03 -07:00

Lamar is often a good alternative to Guadalupe, as they run parallel, but both streets are plagued by bad traffic. Lamar is especially bad down near Waterloo Records (worth facing the traffic for by the way), where cars get stuck in a bottleneck trying to get across the river. The road runs for a l...

Good street to know

21/08/2008 18:21:16 -07:00

51st street, while not necessarily the greatest street to live on, is definitely a great street to know when in Austin. It is fairly narrow and very well traveled, making it pretty busy during heavy traffic hours. However, it is an extremely quick way to traverse this area of the city, as it runs...

Must-see Street in Austin

21/08/2008 18:18:29 -07:00

Anyone visiting Austin should definitely check out Guadalupe. This street runs alongside the University of Texas and is known as "the Drag." Long full of quirky local shops, these have largely been pushed out by the ever expanding University Co-op (great if you're looking for UT gear) and chain res...

Nice street running through North Campus

21/08/2008 18:14:37 -07:00

Duval Street is a great way to get around the North Campus area of Austin near the University of Texas. North Campus is typically home to graduate students, families, as well as some undergraduates, and is noticeably nicer than West Campus. The rental rates are typically higher, but the area is muc...

Great for college students

21/08/2008 18:11:12 -07:00

I lived here during college and felt that it was a great location for college students wanting to live in West Campus. It's close enough to be able to easily walk to campus, yet far enough away that rental rates are reasonable. San Gabriel has a lot of apartments on it, and is a somewhat major throu...

Helpful Street to Know

21/08/2008 18:07:17 -07:00

If you're in Austin and driving around near the University of Texas, chances are you'll have to use 24th street at some point. It runs straight from Guadalupe (bordering the college) down past Mopac, making it one of the quickest ways to get to the freeway from campus. The street itself is pretty n...

Great street for college students

21/08/2008 18:02:47 -07:00

I lived here during college, and found that it was one of the best streets to live on in the West Campus area. Short walk to University of Texas and Pease Park, quiet during the day (though somewhat loud at night, but that's pretty much everywhere in West Campus), easy access to 24th St. Far enough...

Now called Concordia University Drive

20/08/2008 19:58:15 -07:00

This street is now called Concordia University Drive, probably because it leads to the new Concordia University campus that just opened this Fall. This street is pretty short. Besides the university, all it has on it is two back entrances to the adjacent apartment complex, Alara at Canyon Creek. Bec...

Newly completed toll road

20/08/2008 19:47:40 -07:00

This road has taken over the ever popular RR 620 as a toll road, although you can still use the service road without paying the toll and still get to the same places. It runs for maybe a mile or two right along 620 and ends (and turns back into 620) at 183. The minimum toll is only 75 cents, so it’s...

Quiet, residential area with great park and elementary school

20/08/2008 19:41:40 -07:00

El Salido Parkway goes right through a residential neighborhood from 620. Purple Sage Elementary School is located on it. There is also a park with a great jungle gym type swimming area for kids and sports courts and a jogging trail. This is a very safe street with great access to shopping, restaura...

Great place to raise a family with immediate access to just about everything

20/08/2008 19:35:18 -07:00

The part of Anderson Mill that I am familiar with connects 620 and 183, sort of a short cut. Part of the Anderson Mill subdivision. It is a residential area with great schools and great parks. Great area to raise a family and very safe. The kind of area where kids still rides their bikes down the st...

Super busy, but a easy (not fast) way to get from North Austin to South Austin

20/08/2008 19:25:07 -07:00

Interstate 35 goes straight through downtown Austin. It is super busy, especially during rush hour, when during which it is in pretty much bumper-to-bumper gridlock. It also goes right by the University of Texas and you can see their Tower. You can also see the State Capitol from Interstate 35. I wo...

Short street with a little to offer

20/08/2008 19:17:33 -07:00

Four Points Drive is a small street with one apartment complex. It starts on RR 620 and ends in front of the Austin 3M plant, but you can turn right and run into 2222. At the 620 end of the street, there is a strip center with HEB, Starbucks, Hollywood Video, a dentist, an eye place, and a dry clean...

Great place to live with access to everything

20/08/2008 19:11:16 -07:00

This street goes all the way from I-35 to Lake Travis and even a little farther. It is loaded with apartment complexes and home subdivisions. Lots of great shopping with Lakeline Mall at the intersection of 620 and 183. Lots of great restaurants including Olive Garden, Chili’s, and Fuddruckers. Grea...

Great place to raise a family with immediate access to great park

20/08/2008 19:00:14 -07:00

Bristle Oak Trail is a great place to raise a family. It is a fairly quiet neighborhood located near a great elementary school. Some of the homes on this street even back up directly to a local park which includes sports courts, swimming, and playground equipment. The homes are pretty reasonably pri...

Great access to just about everything from here

20/08/2008 18:55:00 -07:00

You can access just about anything you want from Loop 360, which is also called Capitol of Texas Highway. It provides great living, shopping, entertainment, and just about everything else. You can get to Barton Creek Square, which has a fantastic mall, from this street. Also a area called Gateway is...

Fast-paced, winding, short-cut street

20/08/2008 18:49:36 -07:00

This street is a fast-paced, short-cut that many people who work downtown use to get to and from work. It will take you from the Round Rock area all the way near downtown. It is one of the newer developed streets. Apartment complexes are starting to pop up on it. There are some office buildings as w...

The gateway to Austin

19/08/2008 15:14:59 -07:00

I know Mopac Expressway have its detractors who complain about the constant construction or the stop-and-start traffic, but I think it's a great street, and I hate highways and expressways. Granted, traffic is sometimes bad, and granted, it seems there is often roadwork that is not needed, but Mopa...

Great University, terrible street

19/08/2008 15:08:46 -07:00

I have attended UT and I loved it, but I hate this street. Granted, the health center's nearby and it's close to some of the very few parking spaces on campus, but it's a terrible drive. The traffic lights are way too long and you're always having to avoid hitting some pedestrian walking in the mi...

Great movie theatre nearby, but traffic's a pain.

19/08/2008 15:03:44 -07:00

Great Hills Trail runs through the Arboretum and is a convenient way to get to many stores. Unfortunately, the traffic is very heavy in this area, and left turns are often next to impossible. Still, you have to take it to get to great places like the Regal Cinema Arbor, which is surprisingly one o...

Many restaurants and stores, but WAY too many traffic lights.

19/08/2008 14:58:58 -07:00

Anderson has a multitude of fast food restaurants like Whatburger, Jack in the Box, etc. and many retail stores. I live very closeby, and while it's great to have all of that stuff by me, driving on Anderson is always a hassle. There are just way too many traffic lights. What should be at most a...

Nice suburban area with convenient setting

19/08/2008 14:53:48 -07:00

Brentwood is a nice quiet suburban street with smaller homes that seem a bit more affordable than most. That's not to say they're bad, but probably more for someone just starting a family or new life. Additionally, it is conveniently located near a Honda dealership, a bowling alley, and not too fa...

Hilly street makes for low visibilty, but overall nice vibe

19/08/2008 14:48:57 -07:00

Hart Lane's hills (and those in the neighborhood) can sometimes make visibility while driving a bit difficult. Otherwise, it's a pretty peaceful street. There's mostly apartment complexes and not much else, but the Gatti's Pizza on Hart & Far West is always good for a bite, and the Comet dry clean...

Avoid if you can

19/08/2008 14:43:39 -07:00

While there are medical centers you may need to visit on 35th, I'd try to avoid it for anything else. There are way too many traffic lights and you're constantly stopping and starting or sitting tail to tail in traffic that's dragging along. Plus the street branches off several times into various...

The spirit of Austin

19/08/2008 14:39:32 -07:00

Guadalupe is home to the famous "drag" located in front of The University of Texas. It's a street brimming with life, and busy with the hustle and bustle of students. There's the Co-op where you can buy your books, there's a renaissance market that sells jewelry and art, and there's plenty of eate...

Nice street, but road is a bit narrow.

19/08/2008 14:29:58 -07:00

Jeff Davis Avenue is a quaint little street with small homes and some duplexes for rent. It is conveniently located near 2222 and Burnet, and there are nearby conveniences like 7-11 and grocery stores. The street has a pretty safe vibe, but the road is a bit narrow. Worsening the condition is the...

Nice, quiet place to live

19/08/2008 14:23:08 -07:00

Wood Hollow is mostly composed of apartment complexes and homes. It's a nice quiet street, but the hilliness does sometimes make turns a bit dangerous - I was involved in a particularly nasty accident on Far West and Wood Hollow. Overall, though, it's a great street with convenient bus stops to UT...

Cute little street

16/08/2008 11:23:30 -07:00

This cute little street is home to the original Kerbey Lane Cafe, a cute eclectic local eatery that's great for lunch or brunch. All the stores here look like quaint gingerbread houses, painted in bright colors. A great children's store with a huge doll selection, clothes and toys is the other main...

Best street for walking and eclectic shopping and dining

16/08/2008 11:11:27 -07:00

South Congress, or SoCo to the locals, is a great place to shop for local handmade products. Stores like Parts and Labour showcase items made only by Austinites, from cute jewelry and wry T-shirts to fun baby clothes and fashionable purses. Restaurants such as El Sol Y La Luna let you sample the loc...

Fun nightlife street

16/08/2008 11:04:29 -07:00

Just north of the bridge is my favorite section of Congress Ave in downtown Austin. Austin's only jazz club, The Elephant Room, is here, in a basement beneath a sushi restaurant. Across the street is a great place called The Light Bar. They have a cool lit wall fountain that runs behind the seating...

Main nightlife street downtown

16/08/2008 10:47:19 -07:00

If you've ever heard of Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Austin's 6th street between Congress Ave. and Red River Str. is just like it. On busy weekends the street is closed to traffic and pedestrian revelers crowd the street. Every inch of real estate is socially geared; bars, clubs, music venues, res...

1604 to downtown

19/06/2008 20:07:42 -07:00

This road varies as you drive it from beginning to end. At one end you have very new homes and shopping centers being built. On the other end you have several businesses closing, pot holes, and crime. It’s amazing how driving down one street you can see how much change there is. Careful for the...

Hip, Compact, and Independent Retail District

07/08/2008 18:23:56 -07:00

North Loop is a compact and hip retail district that has a bit of everything. In the central area of this district there are a several vintage shops, a middle-eastern restaurant, a bar, two hair salons, a very good car dealership, a bicycle shop, a motor scooter shop, a bookstore, a record store, a...

Dogwood capital of Texas

07/08/2008 18:21:25 -07:00

Woodville sits at a crossroads between Lufkin, Beaumont, Livingston, and Jasper. It's a quiet little community that is home to 2700 people. It's great place to raise a family or retire. Real estate is affordable and cities with higher paying jobs are less than hour away. We have several parks, a nat...

Big City That Feels Like Home

07/08/2008 17:17:51 -07:00

Austin is a city full of vibrant nightlife, outdoor activity, bustling economy, good schools and friendly people.

It's been said that Austin lacks culture aside from it's famed nightlife and music scene. This is not true at all there are many museums including the Huntington Gallery, The Blanton...

Perfect place for peace and quiet!

07/08/2008 11:47:02 -07:00

The newer Wildflower Village Subdivision is a great and diverse place close to the city of Marble Falls. There is a wide range of age groups in our subdivision and we greatly enjoy the peace and quality of life we have here.

Wheat st the nice quiet street

07/08/2008 06:51:04 -07:00

Our neighborhood is a nice quiet street in Woodville Texas. Within walking distance of a bank, city hall, and a post office it's conveniently located in town. Two blocks away is the County courthouse and mainstreet which is lined with antique and clothing stores. Not far from the library and the ele...

Nice homes, great shopping, but growing fast traffic-wise

18/06/2008 19:53:48 -07:00

I am on Stone Oak Parkway often because that is where my home building company builds most of our homes. The homes there are all very nice, the shopping and medical care are excellent (a Baptist Hospital branch is actually on Stone Oak Parkway), and the street offers easy, straight access to Highway...

Not the greatest street ever

18/06/2008 19:50:54 -07:00

Harry Wurzbach is a conglomeration of road construction, heavy traffic, and very, very shady commercial and residential districts. I try to avoid it as often as possible – generally the only reason I travel on Harry Wurzbach is to get quickly from Terrell Hills to Highway 410. Otherwise, I try to av...

Rockwall is a city of young growing families.

20/07/2008 23:02:56 -07:00

Rockwall was a small farming community about 24 miles east of Dallas, but has now grown into a suburban lake front community nestled on the eastern shores of Lake Ray Hubbard with a population of over 30,000. A lot of the housing communities are set up very much like a small town environment. With...

Nice homes, great amenities

18/06/2008 19:47:46 -07:00

Burr Road exists on the Southern edge of Terrell Hills, a “subcity” of San Antonio Texas. On the North side of Burr you can find nice middle-upper-class living with pretty homes. Most of the South side is taken up by the San Antonio Country Club, which is gorgeous to see off of your front yard. The...

A street with a little bit of everything

18/06/2008 19:42:18 -07:00

North New Braunfels spans from Highway 410 (to the North) to Fort Sam Houston (to the South), passing through Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills. The street has a little bit of everything, from middle-class and upper-class living to nice restaurants and grocery stores. The street is traveled heavily, h...

Quiet upper-class living

18/06/2008 19:38:33 -07:00

Eldon Road is one of the two main thoroughfares of the San Antonio “subcity” of Terrell Hills. Because the street is composed entirely of upper-class housing, and set in a small city full of upper-class homes, the street is very easy on the eyes, very easy on traffic, quite friendly, and extremely s...

A struggling little (salt) mining town.

18/07/2008 07:14:45 -07:00

Grand Saline is a proud little East Texas town situated on Hwy 80 about 90 miles east of Dallas. In 2006, the population of this small town was estimated to be about 3,262... though most locals doubt the count is really that high. The largest employeer in the area is the Morton Salt Mine located jus...

Small Town Spirit In the Middle of the City

07/07/2008 07:50:02 -07:00

Glenview Drive is actually in River Oaks, a small town surrounded by the City of Fort Worth. While River Oaks does not have great dining, nightlife or shopping, it's 15 minutes from Ridgmar Mall, one of the largest shopping malls in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, and 15 minutes from downtown Fort...

It's been fixed... Can you fix the rest of it?

19/06/2008 20:16:59 -07:00

Wurzbach stretches from Ingram all the way to what becomes Wurzbach Parkway. The parts that I usually drive though stretch from I-10 to what becomes Ingram. Between Bandera Road and Babcock there were several pot holes. Luckily most of the stretch has been fixed, but it would be nice if they coul...

A little bit of everything, and a lot of traffic

18/06/2008 19:35:49 -07:00

Blanco Road is one of the longest roads in San Antonio. Some parts of it are less than pleasant (mostly to the South), with low-rent commercial districts and even lower-rent housing, although as you go further North, the appearance and climate gets better. The street itself is not in the best condit...

Transcending two of San Antonio's finest "subcities"

18/06/2008 19:32:10 -07:00

Grandview Place runs East to West, starting on Broadway Street in Alamo Heights to the East and dead-ending just past Eldon Road in Terrell Hills to the West. The road itself is not in the greatest condition, but it’s unlikely that you’ll damage a wheel or your alignment from hitting a pothole. Home...

Shopping, nightlife, restaurants, parks, and great education

18/06/2008 19:27:49 -07:00

Broadway is one of San Antonio’s main thoroughfares and hosts the prestigious Alamo Heights High School as well as Incarnate Word University. Some of San Antonio’s finest dining can be found on or within a block of Broadway, as well of some of San Antonio’s finest living. At the corner of Broadway a...

Budding upper-end community with slight construction traffic

18/06/2008 19:22:43 -07:00

Clementson Drive is the main road for the new Clementson Ranch subdivision, north of Highway 1604. The subdivision itself is about 75% “built out”, meaning that the appearance of construction vehicles is still rather frequent on the road. However, homes on Clementson drive retail for between $300,00...

Quiet, neighborly, "exclusive" street

18/06/2008 19:17:07 -07:00

Garraty Road is one of the main streets in the small “city” of Terrell Hills, Texas, which lies completely inside the San Antonio city limits. Though Garraty is a main thoroughfare, Terrell Hills itself sports under 5,000 residents, all upper-middle to upper-class, and the police force is excellent...

The road needs to be fixed!!!

18/06/2008 11:03:06 -07:00

I drive to and from school and work on this worad and it is such a mess. My shocks and tires on my car are getting so bad from driving on this road daily. There's no other way to get home then through this way unless I plan on skyrocketing my gas bill by taking the highway which is about 15 miles...

Newly built area with lots of neighbors some willing to talk and welcome you

18/06/2008 10:58:11 -07:00

My street is in a big comotion right now considering the area is newly built and houses are going up like crazy. Once all the building is done it will be a lovely neighborhood.

Busy Street, a lot of traffic

16/06/2008 08:46:13 -07:00

Blanco is a VERY busy street in San Antonio and, unfortunately, as it crosses Huebner, it goes from 4 lanes to 2, making it even busier. It has many good resturants and grocery shopping (a new Super HEB has just been upgraded on Blanco and 1604) and it will ultimately take you out to the National P...

Nice Area, but growing quickly and experiencing some traffic issues

16/06/2008 08:39:53 -07:00

Stone Oak Parkway used to be a small road on the North side of town. Now, that area has exploded and Stone Oak has seen a lot of construction in the last few years. It is nicely situated and has MANY new residential areas as well as medical (North Central Baptist Hospital), shopping and resturants...

Nice, Upscale Area

16/06/2008 08:33:48 -07:00

Broadway street is in a nice, but expensive, part of town. It has many residential areas and some commercial ones; there is a nice park and it borders the San Antonio Zoo. It also has the added bonus of being close to down town without actually living there and traffic is moderate. This area is c...

Six Flags & Shopping, What more could you ask for!?

16/06/2008 08:22:13 -07:00

La Cantera Parkway is right in the middle of things. Apart from Six Flags, it also has the outdoor shopping mall (aptly named La Cantera). It is close to the freeway, so it is easy to access VERY close to a new movie theater and resturants. This street is busy and wouldn't be a good place to live...

Great Street for Tourists

16/06/2008 08:17:38 -07:00

This street is right in the heart of San Antonio and is ALWAYS busy. It is close to the River Walk and you always have tourists visiting the Alamo, or just wandering around. It is a great place to see the sites, find a good place to eat and really get a feel for San Antonio. HOWEVER, driving on t...

Nice place to live

16/06/2008 08:07:06 -07:00

Constance Street is a small street in a residential area in San Antonio. It is near the San Antonio River. The street is only one block long, at most 500 feet. The houses are nice and there are a lot of trees adding privacy, shade and environmental benefits to the landscape. There are dirt bike trai...

Street on a small lake

16/06/2008 07:56:54 -07:00

North Josephine Tobin Drive in San Antonio borders Woodlawn Lake Park, the main feature of which is Woodlawn Lake. Houses on this street mostly overlook the lake, so they have a nice view. The houses are not expensive; many of them are multi family. It is far enough from the highway that noise is no...

'Tranquil' a good name for this street

16/06/2008 07:45:26 -07:00

Tranquil Park Drive is in a nice area of town and is in a good school district. Additionally, for those who are Medical students or residents, it is VERY close to UTHSCSA (University of Texas Heath Science Center at San Antonio). The street is in a nice neighborhood and the homes are fairly new (l...

Residential loop side street

16/06/2008 07:41:21 -07:00

Tomas Circle in San Antonio is a loop road in a residential area in the city. It is near the medical area and the Oak Hills Country Club. It is part of what is called the Rowley gardens subdivision. The houses are a good price, and their value has increased. It is nice because the street is tucked a...

Quiet Area with many new homes

16/06/2008 07:35:12 -07:00

Knights Cross is a nice, fast-growing area in northern San Antonio. Many of the communities along the road are gated communities, but there are also some single homes. This area has been growning quite a bit over the last few years and many of the homes are either brand-new or only 2 - 3 years old...

Shopping. Golf. Six Flags.

16/06/2008 07:32:30 -07:00

La Cantera Parkway in San Antonio borders a number of great locations. First, there are the shops at La Cabtera, a convenient option for retail necessities. There is also a golf course. It also borders San Antonio’s Six Flags location, called Fiesta Texas, which has a number of incredible roller coa...

Busy Street, but it will get you where you are going

16/06/2008 07:31:28 -07:00

Huebner (pronounced 'Hebner) road is a busy road that will take you from the north area of San Antonio clear down to the Medical School. There are MANY shops and resturants along the way and, during rush hour, is a good alternative to using 1604. However, as San Antonio continues to grow, the traf...

Good Neighborhood, but cars drive fast

16/06/2008 07:28:26 -07:00

Camino Ridge is the main street in the gated community 'The Hills of Sonterra'. The community is has many nice people and there are MANY families that live there, making it a nice place for children to meet friends. However, since Camino Ridge is the main road, cars tend to drive fast. The additi...

Great Street for a family

16/06/2008 07:24:03 -07:00

Roble Fino is a quiet cul de sac in a gated community. There are several families with children, which makes it a great place for kids to play without the fear of them being hurt. The street is not far from shopping and eating areas (there is a new mall off of 281 that is just 15 minutes away) and...

Historical area in San Antonio

16/06/2008 06:28:58 -07:00

The West main Plaza is a street that flanks the Main Plaza in San Antonio, which is home to some of the city’s richest history. One of the most notable buildings is the San Fernando Cathedral. The location also boasts the municipal building and the Bexar County Courthouse. It recently went through e...
