- "I love living and working downtown because I can walk to almost everything I need. My favorite thing about downtown is the energy of city life and all the people it attracts."
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.
