2906 S 1st St Unidad Starlite Lofts

Galindo developed during the 1950s and its ranches and bungalows reflect the style of the time. The mature trees shade the streets and add to the neighborhood’s established appearance. Galindo extends north from Ben White Boulevard to Oltorf Street, roughly two miles southwest of Downtown Austin. A great option for students, St. Edward’s University is less than a mile east of Galindo and the University of Texas at Austin is about five miles northeast.

Diverse and family-friendly, Galindo is recognized for its good schools and excellent location. The neighborhood has one large park, South Austin Recreation Center, which offers a tennis center and a walkway. In the northeast corner, just outside the boundary along 1st Street, Gillis Neighborhood Park provides a swimming pool, hiking trail, and a playground. While Galindo is mostly residential, you will find a variety of shops and restaurants in the community, especially along 1st Street.
