    "Several nearby parks and trails to walk your dog. If your dog is good off leash you can let them off and people seem cool with it. "

    "Fast drivers, not much parking, rude newcomers, inflated prices, super high taxes, great bars, few remaining old stock homes due to greedy developers, more rentals popping up, and A few awesome neighbors. Pet friendly."
  • Robert M. R.
    "Fantastic time to live, buy/rent in the Chestnut area. It's vibrant, booming, yet still feels "real" with a cool mix of cutting edge modern homes and charming pride of ownership older homes. If you're super lucky you may just spot that rarest of rarities these days - a fixer upper."
  • Morgan F.
    "Proximity to DT or other parts of central Austin. Still affordable. Lots of new restaurants opening. "
