    "There's not any place to take your dog, but there's plenty of room on side streets for walking them on a leash. Most everyone has yards with some space for their pets. Most the pets here are friendly so having a mean type of guard dog would be out of place, but it would be ok if it stayed in the yard. Just know that it will bark all the time because there's lots of foot traffic."

    "Many people who live here are UT professors. The commute to UT could be a bike ride or a walk or a bus ride. Driving isn't worth it, since parking is such a hassle on campus. For those who work downtown, the commute is ridiculously easy. No need to even get on the highway."

    "It's an old Austin neighborhood with a lot of Austin charm. I love that it is within walking distance to great Austin institutions like Quack's, Vino Vino, and Mothers. I love swimming at Shipe pool during the summer, and I also love the wine events at Vino VIno, like Bubble Fest. Mondo gallery has great exhibits and cool opening-night events."
