Neighborhood

If you are planning a move to the capital city, South Congress should be on your short list of neighborhoods to consider. This upbeat and energetic community, commonly known as SoCo, sits between two historic South Austin neighborhoods, Travis Heights and Bouldin Creek. Famous for its funky and diverse variety of restaurants, shops, art galleries and music venues, South Congress captures the unique vibe of Austin: It’s the perfect place to find everything from handmade cowboy boots and custom jewelry to hip cocktail bars and, of course, amazing taco shops.

Thanks to its hilly topography, South Congress residents enjoy breathtaking views of the downtown Austin skyline, and several gorgeous parks, nature preserves, and hiking trails are just a short walk away. After undergoing a major revitalization, SoCo has become one of Austin's coolest hotspots.
