South Central Austin is a large district with multiple sought-after neighborhoods. The area feels urban with beautiful homes, unique townhomes, and lavish high-rise apartment complexes with beautiful skyline views. South Central Austin is also home to Saint Edward’s University.
Nestled beside Lady Bird Lake, South Central Austin is characterized by an abundance of lush green spaces, shopping centers, restaurants, and entertainment. Auditorium Shores at Town Lake Metropolitan Park is a local favorite. This urban natural area is great for taking a stroll, canoeing, biking, and walking your dog. The park is a popular spot for special events such as the Austin Symphony’s 4th of July Concert and Fireworks. This district is also home to a mini golf spot and several theaters for film and live performances. For Instagram-worthy photos or a bit of artistic expression, visit the Greetings from Austin Mural in Bouldin Creek.
