The Westgate neighborhood, located five miles south of downtown near Highway 71, epitomizes South Austin's comfortable yet hip lifestyle. The small enclave provides big city amenities with a small-town feel.
Often overlooked in favor of more urban locations closer to the city center, Westgate remains one of the last neighborhoods in Austin proper that offers its signature style at a more affordable price point. There’s colorful ranch-style homes and upscale modular apartments that will suit a variety of renter tastes. Though not as walkable as other areas, Westgate still offers many urban comforts, such as coffee shops, diverse restaurants, and specialty boutiques.
Westgate stands out as a safe, well-established community with a distinctly Austin vibe, and should you need to explore the city, it’s just a 20-minute drive away.
