South Shore is a neighborhood just south of Austin that provides endless entertainment opportunities all year round.
Just across Lady Bird Lake, bounded to the south by East Riverside Drive, this Austin suburb enjoys some of the best views of the Texas state capital. Winding river walk paths and bike lanes are draped along the northern border along the reservoir, while the eastern area of the community is dominated by Roy G. Guerrero Colorado River Metro Park. A nexus of golf courses and sports fields within the park give the area an active feel.
Popular spots like The Buzz Mill and the occasional food truck popup can be found on the aforementioned East Riverside Drive — the area’s main thoroughfare. South Shore and the surrounding Riverside and Pleasant Valley neighborhoods continue to grow as renters look for apartments near the ever-growing city, but at better prices and with less hustle and bustle.
