Downtown Austin can be a center of entertainment, dining, shopping and activities for many people in Austin. Whether you want to be close enough to try new restaurants, attend the many festivals, watch a UT game or walk through the city, living near downtown can make it much easier to participate more often. That being said, many of the homes near Downtown Austin are on tiny lots, with barely enough yard to give yourself any sort of space between homes. For many, that’s not the way they want to live. If that’s you, you don’t have to rule out living near Downtown Austin.
