Location

Located in a quiet neighborhood just 15mins from downtown Austin, giving you quick access to restaurants, nightlife, UT, and top attractions while still enjoying privacy and space. You can easily walk (one block) to the gas station/convenience store that has a bakery + tacos, multiple food trucks and Ani's Day n Nite (bar w/ multiple food trucks). As the home is in the metro/DT area of Austin you will definitely see homeless in the area, as with most parts of the city. We have never had any safety issues and have lived in the neighborhood for over 5 years with young children.
