I love living in Downtown Austin because it is so convenient to get to the things I want and need. The grocery stores are all around the edge of downtown so driving no more than 10 minutes away from any given point is awesome. I really like the transportation of bikes, scooters, and buses. Something that I would like to see change though is the fact that it is really hard to find a place to live that is not so expensive. It is such a great environment to live I wish more people could experience it!
I can't see myself living anywhere in the U.S. that isn't Austin, Texas. I'm a native Texan living in it's Capitol and loving it. As a world traveler, I've seen many places, but nothing compares to Austin. There's a laid back vibe, endless sunshine, amazing variety and quality of food, phenomenal internationally recognized music scene, several top higher education institutions, entertainment galore, spectacular Texas hill country scenery and an unrivaled pride for our city and for life. If you don't live in Austin, Texas, you're not living.
I thought this was a great apartment for students and people without kids.
