About South

Austin

South Austin, located between Lady Bird Lake and Slaughter Lane, is a laid-back and creative Austin neighborhood with a live-music pulse and a porch-and-patio street life. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along South Congress Avenue around the Continental Club, where boot shops, indie galleries, and sidewalk patios set the tempo. Iconic pillars like Continental Club, The Broken Spoke, and Radio Coffee & Beer anchor nights out and daytime hangs. Housing ranges from mid-century ranch homes to newer townhomes, with pockets of bungalows near older commercial strips. Green space threads through via the Barton Creek Greenbelt and the trails at Zilker Park. Food trucks, vintage stores, and small studios keep the streetscape active from morning to late.
