Experience

When people describe Austin, some of the words often declared are “warm,” “laid back,” and even “cool.” All of these are quintessential to the character in one of Austin's most sought regions, the South River City neighborhood. Located south of downtown Austin, residents enjoy the easygoing but inspiring environment surrounding them. One of the other major draws is immediate access to popular areas for entertainment or even work. Downtown is just a bus or bike ride away. Plus there's South Congress and the more developing urban entertainment centers within the south side. South River City is nestled between Congress Avenue and Interstate 35. Many Austinites agree that this neighborhood embodies all of which makes Austin a charming and an eclectic place. This enclave in Austin is also home to several tech employers, so for those interested in walking to work, it's a nice stroll from home.
