Austin Neighborhoods

South Austin Information & Resources

This area features SoCo – South Congress – a retail district which is one of Austin’s most eclectic and lively restaurant, retail, and hotel areas. Neighborhoods include Travis Heights, Bouldin Creek, Barton Hills, Barton Heights, Zilker Park, Inwood Hills, Oak Plantations, Texas Oaks, Deer Park, Maple Run, Sendera, Cherry Creek, Bauerle Ranch, Western Trails, and the city of Sunset Valley. Stacy Pool, located in Travis Heights, is naturally heated and serves local residents all year long .

“First Thursday” of each month turns South Congress Avenue into a festive area with shops open at night, entertainment in the street, food, and more. Residents’ cars are sometimes seen displaying bumper stickers that read “78704—more than a zip code, a way of life.” “Laid back,” eclectic, and trendy are words that describe this area. The Art Car parade happens here, too! The Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge not only connects North and South Austin through the city’s center but is also home to more than a million Mexican Freetail bats. A popular summer outing is watching the bats take flight at dusk. St Edwards University, a private Catholic university, is located here and so is South Austin Medical Center.
