A thriving mix of businesses, restaurants, and modest residential streets make the North Loop a popular area for Austin residents and visitors alike. Located only three miles north of the University of Texas campus and five miles north of the city center, the North Loop merges the old Austin with its new, hip identity. Long-time residents mingle with Austin transplants in this growing, energetic neighborhood.
There’s both historic Austin homes and newer apartment developments bringing new residents to the North Loop. Vintage stores brush shoulders with restaurants and coffee shops on Airport Blvd., providing plenty to do for the students and families in the area. Even though there are plenty of conveniences in this popular locale, Lamar Blvd. and the I-35 will have you in Downtown Austin in no time if you feel like venturing out.
