South Austin, in recent years, has become part of Austin's more unique and eloquent communities. Austin's explosion in the downtown district has increased South Austin homeowners benefits and accessibility to the fast pace city life while maintaining a laid back community atmosphere. Many Austinites are relocating to South Austin as rural communities and ranches are being converted into development communities because of the accessibility to the city without the traffic and the day to day rush. South Austin is conveniently located within the interstate borders of IH 35 and Mopac Expressway that dissect the heart of the city allowing for easy access to the business district.

Quiet family community living along with unique antique districts make this community extremely marketable for all those looking to get away from the fast pace city life and still maintain convenient access to the heart of Austin. Historic music venues intertwined within historic as well as new development communities make for an ideal location for those seeking a relaxed lifestyle with big-city life a short drive away. South Austin is also home to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
