  • Rach O.
    "I love that’s it’s an eclectic area that has so many cool places in walking distance. So much good food, shopping and art. "
  • Jordan H.
    "It’s a last vestige of old south austin. It’s not as gentrified as nearby Bouldin Creek. People are nice and the access to freeways is some of the best in south Austin"
  • Hashik
    "It is quiet and diverse and there are a lot of jobs. There are interesting houses and very nice people "
  • jp_5476
    "The area is mixed use of duplex's and single family homes. There is lots of foot traffic through the neighborhood but lacks sidewalks except for the main roadways (Oltorf/S. 5th/Cumberland Lane). The area is rapidly being converted to a sort of art/deco neighborhood. Probably in the next 10 years there will be more homes that are rehabed as the original owners pass on or sell. The taxes in the area are varied. "
