- "I love living downtown because it is where everything happens - I can walk to work (commute of less than 1 minute), restaurants, the theatre, museums, and all sorts of special events. There is always something interesting to see or do downtown."
Downtown Austin residents are passionate about living Downtown. Our community is filled with restaurants, theaters, museums, Town Lake, the hike and bike trails, one-of-a-kind retailers, and an eclectic entertainment scene — all of which create a vibrant neighborhood that is uniquely Austin. The ability to walk to work, to dinner, to a play, or out to a nightclub makes Downtown the most convenient, exciting, and fun place to live in Austin. This is why more than 5,900 people love calling Downtown home.
Over the past decade, Downtown Austin has blossomed into one of the most sought after residential markets in the region. There is a wide range of residential choices in and around the Downtown area, from single-family homes to more than 3,216 unique residential units you can buy or rent. The Downtown community is made up of a diverse population — from students to empty nesters and more. Take a look, and if you like what you see, join the fun, move Downtown, and become part of an exciting, exhilarating community.
