"A Safe East Austin Neighborhood with Affordable Housing Options"
An East Austin neighborhood that remains mostly immune to the revitalization of other nearby areas here yet retains some charm, the MLK 183 neighborhood features single family homes in the price range of $150,000 to $200,000. There are also some reasonably priced lots available if you want to have a custom home erected. It is less congested than most parts of the city unless you travel west, and you can use the Capitol Metro bus lines in the area to avoid that if you want to take a trip into downtown or the 6th Street Historic District for a night on the town.
The neighborhood is served by the Austin Independent School District and there are a few private school options close by. There is not much nightlife in the area but there are a few good Mexican food restaurants in the area and an Austin chain restaurant staple, Dan's Hamburgers. This is a much safer area than it looks with a low crime rate in part because of its relatively low profile and location. The neighborhood is a mix of ages and ethnic groups that get along well.

"An Evolving East Austin Neighborhood"
The Martin Luther King neighborhood of East Austin is not really a cohesive area by the standards of Austin, as it is severed in parts by some of the major East Austin thoroughfares. Long known as a high crime region, it has made strides in recent years and single family homes here range in price from $140, to $250,000. There is ample green space here as there are many empty lots where homes once stood and there is some new construction in the area helping to drive up property values. It is in general a friendly neighborhood and crime tends to center around low-rent apartments in pockets of the neighborhood.
It's served by the Austin Independent School District and there are private school options close by. Capitol Metro bus service makes it easy and cheap to get to the University of Texas at Austin or any other part of the city. There is little in the form of nightlife in this area and few dining options except for fast food and Mexican cuisine. There are worse places to raise a family in the city of Austin, but there are also more attractive areas if you can afford it.

"Only Show Up Here for Your Flight"
The Southeast, Austin neighborhood, also known as Dove Springs, is a neighborhood that has long had a well-deserved reputation for being a high crime area overwhelmed with drugs and prostitution, but there are some positive changes in the works. Just to the west of the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, there are more vacant lots here than anything and the few residents of the area have to deal with incoming and outgoing planes at all times of the night and day. While the airport itself does have some Austin flavor in the form of popular eateries and dining unique to the city, if you're not leaving or coming back from a flight, there is no reason to be caught here.
While there are some hotels and dining options here, most of the people you'll meet here are traveling to and from the city for business or pleasure. There are the Capitol Metro bus and rail lines to take you to other parts of the city that are much more attractive and safe.

"A South Austin Neighborhood with Pros and Cons"
Bordered to the north by Ben White Boulevard, the Manchaca neighborhood is located south of Downtown Austin and there is a lot to be said for this affordable area. It is convenient, it's located just southwest of St. Edwards University, a short drive or Capitol Metro bus ride to downtown or Town Lake, and has easy access to Interstate 35. Single family homes here that are of the older 1970's era range in price from $100,000 to $200,000, and several new homes are going up in the area, which is serving to up the property values of the area. There are still some homes here in disrepair and this is not the safest Austin neighborhood as there is some criminal elements in the area, robbery being the most common crime, but it is also far from the worst neighborhood.
It's close to rail and bus lines of the Capitol Metro public transportation system and the area is served by the Austin Independent School District. There are also a few private school options that are within a reasonable distance. It's also close to South Congress Street, known by the locals as SoCo, and all of the quirky shops and dining options it has to offer.

"An Up and Coming Neighborhood Just East of Downtown Austin"
Bordered to the south by Town Lake and to the west by the Downtown Austin area, the Holly neighborhood is an area in transition. Single family homes here are small in size and range in price from $125,000 up to $200,000 and more. There is new construction in the form of larger single family homes and multiple story upscale condominiums and apartments that are bringing in a younger crowd to the neighborhood. A power plant that once operated in the area is now being converted into a park, added even more value to the area. Property values have been steadily climbing in this part of Austin for several years now.
It's close to public transportation with Capitol Metro and close to Downtown Austin and the Historic 6th Street Entertainment District. The area is served by the Austin Independent School District and there are several private school options nearby. It's a largely quiet and safe neighborhood for an inner city and it definitely has some of the charm that only Austin can provide in the Lone Star State.

"The Best Downtown Living Experience in the State of Texas"
Living in the Downtown Austin, Texas neighborhood puts you close to where all of the action is happening. The housing here mostly consists of luxury condominiums that can run over $1,000,000 and upscale apartments that are occupied for the most part by hip urban professionals. There may not be a better downtown living experience in the nation, and certainly not in Texas. Living here puts you within walking or biking distance of the 6th Street Historic District, the State Capitol, and all of the lakes and parks Austin is famous for.
You're also close to all of the best fine dining options in the city, and Capitol Metro bus and rail lines make owning a car unnecessary, because if you had one you would not be able to find a parking space anyway. The crime rate is low and it's a safe area for the most part. The southern border of the area is Town Lake, and there are plenty of entertainment options here, or you can enjoy the beauty of the area and relax.

"A Great Tight-Knit Neighborhood Close to Beautiful St. Edwards University"
The Dawson neighbor is located south of Downtown Austin, and is a safe and affordable place for families. There are single family homes here that run from around $175,000 to $350,000 for a 1750 square foot house. There are also a number of affordable condominiums and apartments, and a few townhomes. It's close to St. Edwards University so it's ideal for students from there and the University
of Texas at Austin. It's clean and green for the most part and a safe place to raise a family with low crime rates.
It's served by the Capitol Metro public transportation system so it's fast and easy to get to any part of town. This neighborhood has some of the better performing Austin Independent School District campuses as well. It's close to South Congress Street and it's not far to downtown, but before you go there are more than a few funky eateries and nightlife options in the area to be checked out. This is a tight-knit neighborhood that enjoys all the best Austin has to offer without all of the noise that comes with it.

"Where The Retired and the Wealthy Shop and Live in Austin, Texas"
Conveniently located with the MoPac Expressway on the eastern border and the State Capitol of Texas Highway to the south, the Barton Hills Square neighborhood of Austin, Texas boasts fabulous shopping with one of the best malls in the city. Housing here when available can run up to $800,000 and this neighborhood is right next to some of Austin's best amenities including Zilker Metropolitan Park and Town Lake Park. It's a safe and quiet neighborhood for the most part with one of the lowest crime rates in the city. This is an excellent place to raise a family or enjoy upscale living close to all of the action.
The area is served by the Austin Independent School District, which has some of its higher performing schools in this area. The neighborhood is a mix of young, urban professionals and older people who have retired to the area.

"A Transforming East Austin Neighborhood"
The Mueller neighborhood of Austin, Texas was formerly known as the site of the Austin Municipal Airport. Today it is being designed to be home for up to 10,000 people. Planners have an urban village concept in mind with several upscale condominiums being housed in what appears to be one large custom single family home. Other options will also be available.
The centerpiece of this urban village will be Mueller Lake Park, which will be the largest of several parks spread about the neighborhood and connected by a scenic bike trail. This is a great place for a jog or a picnic, or to just catch some sun rays and enjoy the great Texas weather. This could very well be a great place to raise a family, only time will tell, but the way some of the neighborhood is is being planned it may appeal more to singles and college students. There are a lack of good dining options and nightlife in this area though.

"An Austin Neighborhood Poised for a Rebound?"
The Pleasant Valley neighborhood of Austin, Texas is located just south of Lady Bird Lake and has the Montopolis neighborhood to the east. This has historically been a struggling area of the city though there is some hope for a rebound in the near future. This neighborhood has long been home to students from the University of Texas at Austin and students today can take a shuttle bus to campus. New condominiums are under construction in many parts of the area and they carry a reasonable price tag of around $150,000. Still, with the neighbor this area has to the east, it still has a stigma it is working to overcome.
One of the best hopes for the area is Roy G. Guerrero Park. Currently under construction, when finished, it is designed to have baseball fields, picnic tables, playgrounds, softball fields, hiking trails, and volleyball courts on 362 acres of land. On the down side, there are several run-down apartment complexes that fuel a high crime rate and downgrade property values. This is not the place to raise a family at the present time, but an investment today could pay dividends later as the plight of this neighborhood improves.

"One of Austins Very Best Neighborhoods"
The East Oak Hill neighborhood of Austin is one of the more exclusive areas of the city. Located to the southwest of Downtown Austin, this neighborhood boasts winding tree-lined streets and lots of peace and quiet. It's just south of the Barton Creek Wilderness Park, so there is green space in abundance. Single family homes here are for the most part spacious and new with several having a $1,000,000 plus price tag, though some older homes can be had for as little $250,000, a reasonable price to pay for entrance into this coveted neighborhood. This is a safe neighborhood with a low crime rate and one of the very best in the entire city for raising a family if you can afford the price tag.
Some of the Austin Independent School District's highest performing schools serve this area. If you desire a private school option St. Andrews Episcopal School is located within the neighborhood. It's close to all of the amenities of Barton Creek Wilderness Park and a a shopping mall is close by. There's just very little not to love about this neighborhood outside of the fact it lacks the cool Austin vibe and has no nightlife.

"A Premier South Austin Neighborhood With Plenty of Green Space"
One of the older South Austin neighborhoods, the Garrison Park area has many tree-lined streets and affordable housing. There are neat single family homes here for as little as $160,000 and condominiums can be bought for $100,000. It's easy and inexpensive to get to almost any part of the city with Capitol Metro bus and rail lines, and it's a relatively short commute to downtown and all of the shopping and dining experiences it has to offer.
It's home to Garrison Park, which is a great place for children to play and adults to walk, bike, or jog among abundant green space and beauty. It also has plenty of nature trails to be explored and swimming pool to help you beat the simmering Texas heat in the summer. Garrison Park is served by the Austin Independent School District and there are also private school options in the area. It's a safe neighborhood by Austin standards and a good place to raise a family without spending a bundle of money. The neighborhood is also bordered by several good Mexican, Italian, and Chinese restaurants.

"A Rural Living Option South Of The City of Austin"
A nice suburban area south of the city of Austin, the West Oak Hill neighborhood offers a slower pace of living away from the hustle and bustle of the capitol city. Here you can find 3-bedroom 1400 square foot homes for as low as $200,000 with roomier newly constructed homes in the area selling for as much as $400,000. One of the main drawbacks to this neighborhood is that it is a good commute into the city and traffic can be maddening during the rush hours.
Many of the homes feature exquisite landscaping and this area has a strong rural appeal. It is lacking in shopping and dining options and this makes for traffic on the main roads into Austin that is some of the worst in Travis County. It's a safe, largely crime free area ideal for raising a family or retiring to a community with a rural feel that is not that far away from all that the city of Austin has to offer. There are a few national chain fast food eateries and pizza shops on State Highway 290 so it is not entirely barren of dining options.

"Nice Place to Shop In Northwest Austin"
Located on the north side of the intersection of North Mopac Expressway and State Highway 183, the Gateway neighborhood of Northwest Austin is a business district with plenty shopping and dining options. At the intersection of two of the most traveled roads in the city, it's easy to get to if you don't go during rush hour. This is a typical urban shopping center without any of the flavor you find in most parts of the city.
It is home to the Gateway Shopping Center which has a number of retail stores with clothing for men and women, sporting goods, toys, restaurants, and a movie theatre. If you love games and fun with your food, there's a Dave and Busters on the southern border of the neighborhood where you can enjoy yourself after a day of shopping. If you're looking for bargains, and don't care about charm and ambiance, this is a good place to find some bargains on a wide range of goods and services.

"A Neglected Part of Austin"
The part of Austin east of Interstate 35 has long had a reputation for not being the best part of town, and with good reason. The Johnston Terrace is the example that proves the generalization is right as this neighborhood has long been neglected and has many run down properties and foreclosed homes. Prices for what homes are here are lower than average in Austin for good reason. This is also a high crime area that has also in the past been used as a dumpground.
This area is served by the Austin Independent School District, which has many of its poorer performing schools in this area. Traffic in the area can back up and public transportation is limited in this part of the city. There are not a lot of places to get a bite to eat in this area unless you're a fan of authentic Mexican. Nightlife options are also non-existent and you don't want to be out after dark in this neighborhood anyway.

"An Affordable Neighborhood in Southeastern Austin"
Located in the southeastern part of Austin, the Franklin Park neighborhood is a low-income area with affordable housing. Some of the single family homes here can sell for as little as $60,000 while most are priced in the $100,000 plus range. It is a reasonably quiet and safe area while offering little of the frills, nightlife, and quirkiness of other low-income areas of Austin. It's bordered to the west by Interstate 35 and East Stassney Lane to the south and this area can experience the blunt of traffic from other areas coming into the city during rush hour.
There are a number of low-rent apartment complexes in the area that undermine the overall safety of the neighborhood, but the further east you go from Interstate 35 you'll find ranch style homes that are in general well maintained. This is an ethically diverse area with a majority of Hispanics and some whites, African-Americans, and Asians. The neighborhood is served by the Austin Independent School District and public transportation is available through Capitol Metro. It's also close to the downtown area and the University of Texas at Austin.

"One of the Most Prestigious Addresses In Austin"
The Old Enfield neighborhood, just west of the University of Texas at Austin, is the oldest of three neighborhoods that are considered part of the Old West Austin Historic District. This part of the city has a number of well-preserved early to mid-20th Century homes, with many of them that are sprawling estates selling in the $1,000,000 plus range. This is one of the most beautiful, quiet, and safe neighborhoods in the city of Austin and is the perfect place for families if you can afford it.
It's served by some of the highest performing schools in the Austin Independent School District. There are plenty of dining and entertainment options that are just west of the area and it's a bike ride away from the University of Texas at Austin. Resident often take advantage of beautiful Pease Park, which runs along the banks of Shoal Creek. There is an abundance of green space and mature beautiful trees in this neighborhood that has a long history dating back almost as long as the city of Austin.

"An Affordable Choice for Families in Northeast Austin"
Located in the northeast part of the city of Austin, the Coronado Hills neighborhood is a working-class family neighborhood. A largely Hispanic neighborhood, what it lacks in Austin charm and weirdness it makes up for with being a fairly clean, quiet, and safe family neighborhood. It's a good drive through some tough traffic to the downtown area, which is one reason prices here are reasonable with single family homes ranging from around $200,000, and there are also duplexes in the area that can be had for a reasonable monthly rent compared to other parts of the city.
The neighborhood is contained within some of the city's major arteries and traffic can be hair-raising during rush hours in the morning and afternoon. And this is also a factor as traffic noise makes the neighborhood much less than during peak traffic times and some nights. If you love good authentic Mexican food and Tex-Mex, there are a number of good choices that border the neighborhood to the south and west.

"A Bit Rough on the East Side of I-35 in Austin"
Like many of the neighborhoods east of Interstate 35, Rosewood is a low-income area with reasonable single family homes, apartments, and condominiums. It's not for people who are looking for quiet, as a railroad line runs through the middle of the neighborhood and it's close to the noise of Interstate 35 and other major thoroughfares. Homes here run the range from $150,000 to $300,000, but the area is marred by several low-income apartment complexes that help to feed the criminal element of the neighborhood.
This is primarily an African-American community with some Hispanics mixed in. It's easy to get to more desirable parts of the city via Capitol Metro public transit. The neighborhood is served by the Austin Independent School District, though most schools perform at a lower level than the norm for the city. This is not the place for families with children or anyone else who can afford to live in a safer part of the city. There are few nightlife options and a lack of quality restaurants, you'll have to travel to experience that in the city.

"A South Austin Neighborhood on the Upswing"
The West Congress neighborhood of Austin, Texas is an area that is low-income yet family-friendly and it is seeing some new home construction that should bode well for future property values. Single family homes here run the range from $125,000 up to $400,000 for a new 4-bedroom 3-bath 2400 square foot home. It's for the most part a quiet and peaceful neighborhood with less crime than other low-cost Austin areas. It's good place for a family just starting out as it has a chance to appreciate in value with the booming population in the Austin area looking to continue for the near future.
The area is served by the Austin Independent School District, and the local schools perform fairly well in comparison to other district schools. South Congress Street, or SoCo as it is known by the locals, is the eastern border of the neighborhood so you can easily head north to downtown and other Austin attractions though traffic can be bad at rush hour. There is also public transit with the Capitol Metro and a number of good Mexican food restaurants and national chain fast food restaurants that border the neighborhood on the north and south.

"A Neighborhood With a Suburban Feel"
The Sweetbriar neighborhood in Austin is located south of Town Lake and it's bordered to the east by Interstate 35. It is a mix of affordable single family homes, condominiums, and apartments with homes ranging from around $120,000. There are a few more upscale type condominiums here in the $200,000 range. It has more of a Texas suburb feel than Austin and parking may be more readily available here than any other place in the city.
The area is served by the Austin Independent School District and this is a racially diverse neighborhood with a large percentage of Hispanic residents. There are the usual dining options with most of the big chain fast food restaurants here along with some very good Mexican and Tex-Mex options. There are also not many nightlife options without traveling north toward the downtown area. This is a relatively safe neighborhood that is family-friendly. It has direct access to South Congress, or SoCo as the locals call it, so you're only a short drive away from some of the best the city has to offer.

I was recently 'gifted' a condo here ... They run about $190,000 depending on the size. I'm here to tell you...the Property Management company is a complete headache to deal with, and they are dishonest.
Sweetbriar Garden Homes charge over $200 in HOA fees per unit. For that you get a mucked up hot tub, that hasn't worked in a decade...and sometimes they do the lawn on Wednesdays. If you want help with the rats, or the break-ins due to the fences laying over so kids can pop your back window, steal your TV and jet...Do not call Kent!! He will simply hang up on you. That's the worst $200,000 I've ever spent!!

"An Older Neighborhood East Of Downtown Austin"
Driving about the Pecan Springs neighborhood of Austin, it looks like any other suburban neighborhood in the state with older single 1960's era family ranch style homes that are reasonably priced in the $80,000 to $150,000 in general. While it lacks the weird and cool Austin vibe, it does have an older mix of mostly Hispanic and African-American residents, and it is generally safe and quiet with friendly neighbors who look out for each other.
The neighborhood is served by the Austin Independent School District and is not totally without charm as Pecan Springs Park provides some green space. It's a pretty good drive to get to downtown and good entertainment options, things that are lacking here. There is also a lack of good places to eat out without leaving the neighborhood. It is close to State Highway 183, so it is easy to get around to other parts of the city.

"Not The Worst Neighborhood in Austin, But Not Far From It"
Bordered by Interstate 35 to the east and West Anderson Lane to the south, the Georgian Acres neighborhood of Austin, Texas is not the choice for those looking for peace and quiet, but it close to major thoroughfares. While this is not the worst neighborhood in town, it's also far from the best but it does have affordable single family housing that ranges from $70,000 in the southern part of the Georgian Acres area up to around $200,000 in the northern. Crime is higher here than in most parts of the city and this is not the place to raise a family if you can afford better.
It's a fairly decent distance to Downtown Austin and traffic can be maddening at rush hour. The neighborhood is served by the Austin Independent School District though the schools in this area for the most part do not perform up the levels of other Austin schools. There are good shopping options here and a number of good eating establishments, and the best way to get around is using the Capitol Metro bus lines.

"Close to Thriving Areas of Austin, But Lagging Behind"
Located just south of the East Austin area and north of Town Lake, the Govalle neighborhood features some of the lowest price single family homes in the city with prices from $100,000 to $200,000 and low apartment rental prices. On the flip side, it's one of the worse neighborhoods in Austin in many parts though there are a few hidden gems in the area in the form of a thriving art community. This is not the place to be after dark and the area is in general deeply in need of some repair and maintenance. There is heavy industry in the area so it's not great for peace and quiet either.
It's a racially diverse neighborhood with a few good fine dining choices of you love Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. There are Capitol Metro lines in the area so it's easy to make the relatively short trip to the University of Texas and Downtown Austin. The neighborhood is served by the Austin Independent School District though the area schools have been lagging other in the district in performance.

"An East Austin Neighborhood That May Soon See Better Days"
A low-income area in East Austin, the Chestnut Neighborhood is a grid of small homes that are generally well kept and affordable. Single family homes here range from $130,000 on the low end to $330,000 for homes that have been newly constructed. There are new businesses in the area and it is for the most part a safe and quiet neighborhood. An investment here could bring dividends if the area continues to show improvement. There are also a number of vacant lots at affordable prices ready for new homes to be constructed.
The neighborhood does have its advantages as well. It's a short drive or bike ride to the University of Texas at Austin and all of the great entertainment options around the school. A short distance to the south is Town Lake. Chestnut is served by the Austin Independent School District and there are private school options within a reasonable distance. For the city of Austin, there is a distinct lack of dining options in the area and while there are a couple of nightclubs, they are not of the variety that you would want to visit at night.

"An Affordable Austin Neighborhood with Serious Drawbacks"
The Heritage Hills neighborhood of Austin, Texas is an affordable option for those looking to make a move to this Texas capitol city, but it does come with some fairly significant drawbacks to be considered. Single family homes here can run as low as $95,000 to $150,000, but there are many homes in this neighborhood that are in foreclosure and could use some work. With Interstate 35 as a western border and State Highway 183 as a southern border, this area can be a traffic nightmare during rush hours. It's definitely not the safest area of Austin as it has a high crime rate and some unsavory elements that come out at night.
It's close to the Capitol Metro bus and rail lines, so it's easy and inexpensive to travel to other parts of the city without a car, in fact, most days it is faster. Residents here are at least working with city officials to improve the area, so there may be some hope for the future of this neighborhood. There are a few good dining options on the borders of the neighborhood and it's served by the Austin Independent School District, but schools in this area has historically performed poorly.

"A Tight Small College Community Feel just Removed from the Heart of the City"
The University of Texas at Austin is not the only institute of higher learning in town, Austin is also home to St. Edwards University, a small, private liberal arts Catholic school that is located south of Town Lake and is also bordered by Interstate 35 to the east. St. Edwards is one of the most ethnically and economically diverse private schools in the nation and the campus is home to a large percentage of their students. It's also known for its picturesque campus with lots of green space that is ideal for a walk or jog. It has a unique home town feel that's distinctly different from typically weird Austin. Rental rates here are slightly less than the Austin average making this a surprisingly affordable housing option.
It's easy to get around by Capitol Metro rail or bus lines, and it's close to some of the best that Austin has to offer. This is a safe neighborhood that has a number of dining and nightlife options on the outskirts of the neighborhood such as excellent Mexican food, Chinese restaurants, Indian cuisine diners, and bars. There is also the coffee bar with a bit of vibe that is part of so many great Austin neighborhoods.

"Affordable Living in An Area Close to Downtown Austin"
Located to the north of the Downtown Austin area, the Highlands neighborhood is an affordable option for those looking to make a move to this Texas city. Single family homes here range from $150,000 to $275,000 and there are also very affordable apartment and condominium options. It borders Interstate 35 to the east and has plenty of Capitol Metro rail and bus options, so it's easy to get anywhere in the city. It's a racially diverse neighborhood with a growing Asian population and is a fairly safe neighborhood that borders on some neighborhoods that are less than desirable. The direction this neighborhood is heading is in question with some of the strip malls losing tenants and a crime rate that has been on the rise.
It's served by the Austin Independent School District, and private schools are also in the area. One of the drawbacks to this neighborhood is that it lacks the charm and vibe that many of the other low-income areas of Austin have in abundance. Still there are several good dining options on the borders of the neighborhood such as big chain fast food options and a couple of coffee houses and Italian and seafood restaurants.

"A Neighborhood in Transition and On the Rise"
Central East Austin is a neighborhood in transition with a number of older residents, who now find themselves with hip, younger, artistic neighbors. Single family homes here run from $100,000 to $300,000 making it one of the more affordable area of the city. It is a diverse neighborhood with an eclectic mix of ethnic groups and ages and is a relatively safe area that is also quiet and charming.

"Affordable, But Seedy Austin Neighborhood"
The North Lamar neighborhood of Austin, Texas is one of the most affordable places in the city to live, but it has its drawbacks that you should consider before making a move. While some single family homes here go for as little as $70,000, many homes are in a state of disrepair after being foreclosed on. It's bordered to the east by Interstate 35, so it can be noisy at times. The southern border of the neighborhood, East Rundberg Lane, has a well-deserved reputation for being one of the more dangerous places in the city. Crime rates are higher here than in other low-income parts of Austin and schools in general here perform poorly. For the most part, this is not the place you'd want to live or raise a family.
The neighborhood does have some redeeming qualities though. There are several good places to eat on the western border of the neighborhood including Chuys, an Austin Tex-Mex institution. There is also an abundance of big chain fast food joints and a Chinese restaurant. Since it is bordered by Interstate 35, it is easy to get to any other part of the city quickly.

"A Once Downtrodden Neighborhood In Austin Sees Better Days Ahead"
Located in the northeast part of Austin, Texas, the St. Johns neighborhood is one of the most affordable areas of the city, but also one of the most crime-ridden and has many homes in poor condition. Single family homes here can run as low as $55,000 on up to $135,000, but what the area lacks in looks, it makes up for somewhat with residents who are committed to working with the city of Austin to bring much needed improvements to the roads and other facilities. Residents also for the most part work hard to keep lawns and homes in the best possible condition.
It's a pretty good drive to the downtown area, but it is bordered by major thoroughfares so it is easy to get anywhere in the city. This neighborhood has a history that dates back to the Civil War and was for years a predominately African-American community, though a majority of residents today are Hispanic. Still, this is not the best place to raise a family and the Austin Independent School District
which serves the area sees some of its most poorly performing schools here.

"Travis Heights - Where Hipsters and Families Live Together"
Bounded to the north by Lady Bird Lake, and Interstate 35 to the east, the Travis Heights neighborhood of Austin is a unique blend of homes and hip apartments. Some of the homes date back to the 1920's and there is some new development going on as well. It boasts beautiful tree-lined streets and rolling hills and it is close to just about everything Austin has to offer. The neighborhood is a blend of artists, students, families, and hipsters who enjoy the central location.
The homes in this area range from $300,000, to well over a million for some of the mansions that were constructed in the 1920's and 1930's. There are also more affordable condominiums and apartments, but you can still expect to pay close to $1,000 a month in rent. The neighborhood is a mix of ethnic groups and has a low crime rate and is a generally safe place to raise a family. Another reason this neighborhood draws in people is the fact it is so close to the rejuvenated South Congress Street area, with its eclectic collection of funky shops and diners. It's served by the Austin Independent School District, and there are also excellent private schools nearby as well.

Located just south of Downtown Austin, the Barton Hills neighborhood is one of the most established neighborhoods in the entire city. Homes here are priced in the $300,000 - $800,000 range and it is considered one of the safest neighborhoods in Austin.

"Historic homes in a historic section of Oak Cliff close to Downtown Dallas"
A neighborhood in the northern part of the Oak Cliff section of Dallas, Steven's Park Village features many homes designed in the late 1930's and early 40's by famed Dallas architect Charles Dilbeck, who gained notice with his landmark works on mansions in the Park Cities and Preston Hollow neighborhoods of Dallas. You can recognize them by their L-shape and heavy porch timbers and brick construction. This is an up and coming part of Oak Cliff and if you can get your hands on one of the homes designed by Charles Dilbeck, you just might have a gem as most of the other houses in the neighborhood were built in the 1950's and 60's are not not nearly as distinctive and valuable.
Steven's Park Village is close to the Bishop Arts District, one of the very coolest places to see live music and enjoy fine dining in the city. Steven's Park Village is served by the Dallas Independent School District, and close by are many excellent private schools that you may choose from.

"A busy industrial district in West Dallas"
The Turnpike Distribution Center in West Dallas is an industrial-zoned area where thousands of people come to work Monday through Saturday.

The area is served by Dallas Area Rapid Transit, so it's easy to get home to just about any part of the city of Dallas. If you want to eat out at lunch, you have a few good options in the area from which to choose.

The Turnpike Distribution Center in West Dallas is not an ideal place to live, but it is a very good place to work and is easy to commute to thanks to public transportation.

"Affordable living along the Trinity River"

"Modern urban living in the shadow of Downtown Dallas"
The Cedars neighborhood of Dallas is a study of contrasts. There are some older run-down single family homes that have been neglected and they stand in the shadow of newly renovated warehouse lofts and high-end condominiums that are home to artists, musicians, and young, urban professionals.

Look for this trend to continue and for prices to climb as urban living becomes more popular.
This is one of the few places in Dallas where you can live comfortably without a car as it's served by Dallas Area Rapid Transit system rail and bus lines. Nightlife is also coming to this area for the first time in decades and there are also several great dining options as well. The Brooklyn Jazz Cafe is a great live music venue and the Spotlight Club on South Boulevard has a wide variety of musical styles live on the weekends.
The Cedars neighborhood of Downtown Dallas is one of the most unique parts of the city with most eclectic mix of people from all walks of life. This is the place to be if you're young, single, and enjoy urban living.

"One of Dallas' largest historic neighborhoods"
One of the very oldest and largest historical districts in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas, Texas, Winnetka Heights features early 20th Century wood frame one and two-story family homes. The area fell into disrepair and was neglected up until the 1980's when several entrepreneurs began restoring the neighborhood as more people moving to Dallas sparked much more interest in urban living. Today it is a neighborhood of finely crafted single family homes with mature trees that has the look and feel of an early 20th Century neighborhood.
This is also one of the best places in Dallas for affordable housing. Attractive and modest homes are available here for as low as $100,000, and there are more upscale options available. The area is served by Dallas Area Rapid Transit so it's easy and cheap to commute to any part of the city. Nearby Stephen's Park Golf Course has 18 challenging holes for you to check out and there are several great dining options within minutes of the neighborhood. Winnetka Heights is served by the Dallas Independent School District, which is home to several of the very best magnet schools in the nation.
Winnetka Heights is an excellent choice for the busy professional seeking a home close to their place of employment or couples looking for a place to raise a family.

"A great place to work just west of Downtown Dallas"
The Singleton Industrial area of West Dallas is a business zoned area with no real permanent housing of any kind for families or singles.

"Industrial area just west of Downtown Dallas"
Bordered on the south by Interstate 30 on the south and Loop 12 on the west, the Eagle Ford district of Dallas is largely a business zone along with the Singleton Industrial district that borders it to the east. A large number of warehouses and businesses dominate this part of West Dallas and if you work in this area, you have several housing options close to the Eagle Ford district. In the northern part of the Eagle Ford neighborhood, there are just a few housing options available, but again, this is not the nicest part of Dallas to live in by any stretch of the imagination.
To the east, Downtown Dallas is only a few minutes away by or by Dallas Area Rapid Transit, which serves this area. There are several good places to eat in this area along with a number of lively bars. Lloyd's Old Fashioned Hamburgers on Singleton Boulevard is a favorite with the lunchtime crowd and if you want some good authentic Mexican food, you can choose from either Raul's Restaurant or La Potosina, both of which are also on Singleton Boulevard. The Eagle Ford district of West Dallas is a good place to work and grab a bite to eat while you're on your lunch break.

"Affordable living close to everything cool about Dallas"
The Walnut Creek Estates neighborhood of Dallas features modest family homes and apartments in one of the busiest areas of the city. This area has been changing in the past couple of decades as Section 8 housing in the area and cheap apartments have led to a significant rise in crime here. Despite that fact there is still a lot to like about this neighborhood.
Walnut Creek Estates is served by Dallas Area Rapid Transit, making it easy to commute to most parts of the city. Downtown Dallas is only a short commute away although traffic on the major roads in the area can be clogged during rush hours. The Greenville Avenue entertainment district is only a few minutes to the southewest and it has some of the best dining and live music venues in the entire city of Dallas. Housing here is affordable and the neighborhood as a whole features many nice single family homes with finely manicured lawns. Many students of nearby Richland College call one of the apartments in the area home so there is a mix of people of all ages and races that call this area home.
Walnut Creek Estates is good choice for affordable housing in one of the busiest parts of Dallas.

"Affordable living next to the Dallas Zoo"
Located due west of the Dallas Zoo, the Ruthmeade Place neighborhood of Oak Cliff in Dallas has seen better days. While it is true there are some modest family homes being constructed in the area, this is still a low income and high crime area. There is not much in the form of business development here and most windows are barred and yards are gated. This is really not a place for a family as gangs, drugs, and prostitution are not uncommon in this and many of the surrounding neighborhoods. As a result, home and rental prices in this area tend to be among the lowest in the city.
On the flip side of things, it is located close to Downtown Dallas, with State Highway 67 as a border to the east making it easy to get anywhere in the city. Dallas Area Rapid Transit serves the area making commuting to other parts of the city fast and cheap. There are a few quality dining choices in the area to choose from. The South Dallas Cafe at Oak Cliff serves up three hearty meals a day, and if you like Tex-Mex or authentic Mexican food, there are several options on the northern border of the neighborhood.

"A central place to do business in Dallas"
The Reunion District in Downtown Dallas was once home to Reunion Arena, which housed the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and the NHL's Dallas Stars. Since that venue has been torn down both teams have moved up I-35 to American Airlines Center. There are still a number of businesses in the area and hotels and it is one of the busiest areas of the city with two major highways intersecting nearby.
There are virtually no housing options in this area, as it is primarily zoned for business, but if you work in this area you have a number of options available to you. To the north is Uptown and the Victory Park area and Dallas Area Rapid Transit serves this area so it's a painless commute home to almost anywhere in the city. There are also several housing options in any direction you go that will suit anyone's price range. There are hotels in the area if you're visiting the area for work and Downtown Dallas is one of the few places in the city where you can actually hail a cab, but beware, unlike New York City, cabs here are very expensive.
The Reunion District is Downtown Dallas is an excellent place to work in this bustling city.

"Kiestwood - right in the middle of everything good in the Metroplex"
Located just north of the Dallas Executive Airport, Kiestwood is a West Dallas neighborhood of roomy single family homes with spacious yards that are for the most part well cared for.
