Medical District Austin, TX

A convenient spot for working professionals with plenty to eat and see

Urban Economy Walkable

Stretching along the I-35 from MLK down to East 8th St., Austin’s Medical District is a prime example of the city’s flourishing economy and lively attractions. The upscale apartment communities that border the neighborhood are in the perfect location for renters who work in Austin’s prominent medical industry, or who want to be near the city center but in a slightly tamer locale.

There’s still plenty to do, however. The infamous Stubb’s Bar-B-Q sits on the corner of 8th St. and Red River, and the nightlife crowd will love Mohwak. This multilevel live music venue serves up some of the best drinks in Austin in one of the most energetic settings.

Commuting to the rest of the city is simple, and there’s a number of parks within biking or walking distance where you can appreciate the beauty of the Texas capital.
