This is a vibrant neighborhood in the best part of the city, with really good schools, eclectic and fun neighborhoods, and access to the best social and cultural aspects of central Austin. It's far enough from downtown to be out of the frenzy, but close enough that residents can walk or bike to work on the hike and bike trails. Young family are everyplace, with top schools at all levels. South Lamar's hot restaurant scene is right in your lap, and you're a short walk from Barton Springs and Zilker Park. This is the best of Austin.
I love the community aspect of this neighborhood. The general vibe is really nice and accepting! Everyone who lives here, for the most part, loves to be outside and enjoys each other’s company. Close parks, a river, a spring, and tons of restaurants make this a great place to call home.
I love living in Barton Hill neighborhood, as it's close to the city, but outside of the urban zone, so it still feels a bit like the burbs. The parks in this neighborhood are amazing, and the people are nice. I have moved away from this neighborhood, only to move back after about a year being gone. I haven't traveled much in the US, but this place is great compared neighborhoods in Houston, and San Antonio.
