Settled about eight miles northeast of Downtown Austin, Walnut Creek is a peaceful, industrial area that features fantastic commuter options. Between the public bus routes, access to both Highway 290 and 183, and proximity to the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, travel is a breeze. Though Walnut Creek is mainly industrial, there are many suburban streets around the town filled with homes and apartments for rent.
Walnut Creek, named after the creek that runs through the neighborhood, boasts many outdoor spaces like the Big Walnut Creek Nature Preserve. Take a stroll down the scenic Walnut Creek trail, or travel a few miles to the Walter Long Metropolitan Park. This city park has a large lake that’s perfect for swimming, fishing, and kayaking on a warm Austin day. Along the major roads in the neighborhood, you’ll find businesses, services, and casual restaurants, along with unique finds like Meridian Hive Meadery.
