As far as Austin neighborhoods go, South Lamar is an often overlooked option. It’s no wonder why, since it’s wedged between the wildly popular South Congress neighborhood and the elegantly historic Barton Hills. But South Lamar offers a subtle beauty all its own. It is home to top-rated restaurants, terrific shops, and the legendary Broken Spoke, a dance hall where toes have tapped since 1964. This venue has played host to a variety of country music legends when they were just starting out, including George Strait and the Dixie Chicks.
South Lamar sits just across the Colorado River from Downtown Austin, spanning about three square miles. The neighborhood’s main thoroughfare, South Lamar Boulevard, is lined with a broad range of shops and restaurants, so find your South Lamar apartment near this strip if you enjoy dining out frequently or like to be a short distance from shopping.
The Barton Creek Greenbelt is located just outside South Lamar, offering terrific hiking trails as well as rock climbing, swimming, and bicycling. On the northwest end of the neighborhood, Zilker Metropolitan Park features a natural, spring-fed pool for swimming, the Zilker Botanical Gardens, the Umlauf Sculpture Garden and Museum, and the Austin Nature and Science Center. This is also the location of the Zilker Park Kite Festival held every March, and the Austin City Limits Music Festival held each October.

There are a lot of different options for every kind of store in my area. There are a lot of corporations that have businesses here but there are also just as many mom-and-pop options available as well. I feel like I can find everything I need within a two mile radius of my house including hair salons, grocery stores, bars, auto centers, etc.

As with any job, given experience you can make a lot of money. I'm doing a job I would consider to be below my previous held positions yet I'm making the same/a little more money. There are always tons of places in this neighborhood hiring for all sorts of work. I find it near impossible to believe someone couldn't get a job around here if they tried.
