Austin Real Estate - Austin Texas Homes

DOWNTOWN

No area of Austin has blossomed over the past five years, quite like the downtown neighborhood. Construction cranes are everywhere, and high-rises are popping up left and right. Without question, downtown is the heart and soul of the city. The cost of real estate is the highest in the region, but residents can literally live within walking distance of everything they need. Most of downtown’s housing options are mid & high-rise condos, with a small sprinkling of single-family homes and townhomes.

The downtown community is bustling with activity and there is always plenty to do. The city is committed to urban growth, and there are vast plans to improve the infrastructure and retail components of the community. Residents tend to run the full gamut from young professionals to empty-nesters looking to enjoy the hassle-free (and commute free) lifestyle that downtown living offers.
