5416 Rusk Ct, Austin, TX 78723

"A solid, unpretentious neighborhood where people genuinely look out for each other. It feels safe enough that early morning solo runs before sunrise are no big deal, and you’ll often cross paths with neighbors walking their dogs. Kids play outside, which says a lot about a place. It’s quiet and green, with mature trees that give it a settled, established feel. For all that calm, you’re still just minutes from downtown Austin and the shops and restaurants at Mueller. Commuters will appreciate the easy access to major freeways — it’s one of those rare spots where you get peaceful streets without sacrificing convenience. I’ve lived here for 9 years."

"The neighborhood is safe but the schools are not good. It's a very short walk to a major bus hub, and on a route that takes you by the county hospital, which is great for getting around town when you are without a car. There's some section 8 housing in the neighborhood, but there's no violent crime in the 15 years I've lived in the neighborhood and it's slowly revitalizing. It's a fast 10 minute drive to downtown Austin, and the last affordable neighborhood in the city. I like that there are retirees who've lived in their homes since they were built in the early 60s, and there's a community "neighborhood" feel."
