Austin, Texas
Austin is the capital of Texas and for more reasons than just being the center of government for the State. In 2006, Money Magazine rated it the best place to live in the U.S. It’s the home of the mammoth University of Texas (50,000 plus students) as well as living up to its reputation as "the live music capital of the world."
The Beat on Austin Neighborhoods
Whether you are a student or are involved with any of the many high tech companies or pharmaceutical firms that inhabit the city, your Austin rental apartment will quickly become home. The two most popular areas for living are the Downtown area and the Arboretum district.
Downtown has the largest amount of high rises and they keep being built. Nearby is the SoCo area (South Congress) which prides itself on being the real Austin. There is a large concentration of hip places for shopping and dining with a strong trend toward living up to Austin’s motto “Keep Austin Weird”. Austin is an independent town believing that eccentricity and differences are what make the world go around and that motto does keep things interesting.
Arboretum, which gets its name from a large open air mall in the area, is the new Austin. Many of the large companies have located there so there’s plentiful shopping and restaurants as well as newly built housing. There’s also East Austin which is very arty and South Austin which is a haven for the younger set and has always been home to counterculture in the city. UT and The Drag, as it is called, is mainly off-campus housing so is primarily a student area.
Music Capital
Wherever you choose your Austin apartment, you won’t be far from music. The Sixth Street area is a real hot spot for nightclubs and smaller music bars. Throughout the year, there are a number of festivals and concerts held in parks or other public venues. Along with music, theatre is very active in Austin so nights out for live theatre are easy and affordable. And, for the outdoor enthusiast, you’ll find a wealth of activities.
Perhaps, because there are so many college and post college aged people in Austin, there are an endless array of sporting clubs and activities. There are three huge lakes within the city limits which added to all the public parks make any sport readily accessible.
Beer and Beyond in Austin
Eating out in Austin ranges from fancy destination restaurants to endless numbers of Tex-Mex and barbeque places. There are at least six micro breweries in Austin and all have loyal followings. There’s bound to be one near your Austin apartment!
