Market District Austin, TX

A lively neighborhood full of character and Austin staples

Urban Walkable Restaurants

The Market District encompasses a section of Downtown Austin from Lamar Blvd to Nueces St., and West 3rd St. up to West 6th St. This modestly-sized, yet buzzing area has become one of the fastest-growing areas in Texas’ capital, and for good reason. There’s a number of popular restaurants and bar within the Market District, including Hut’s Hamburgers and Juan Pelota Cafe.

Like the rest of Austin, the Market District has seen a number of high-rise condos spring up in recent years, each providing a unique take on apartment living in this entertaining Texas city. While it may not be a historical institution just yet, Whole Foods’ flagship calls the Market District home, and the trails along the Colorado River are just steps away.
