    "NA but if I worked downtown I could walk or ride bike or park as needed. Feel like I’m pretty much 20-30 minutes to all austin west of I35 which is everywhere I like to go."

    "So convenient to all amenities. Condoville - not a plus. Barton Springs, Zilker Park the best things about it. Hillsigh and lack of public transportation access real negative. I live 5 blocks from the park, but can’t get there because of steep hill. Sucks! . "

    "Commute to downtown is minimal so it’s a perfect location. Just a few miles from downtown with bus routes right down Lamar. "

    "My commute is pretty easy since the neighborhood is central. South Lamar does get pretty backed up during rush hour. "

    "There are sidewalks on the main roads, and lots of people in the area have pets. Plus you’re very close to Zilker Park, which is perfect for some off-leash play time. It is a busy area though, so be careful not to let your pup get loose (especially if he/she is a runner!). "

    "Cost to live here can be high, but it’s a perfect location. It can take a bit of time to get out of the neighborhood. Werewolves come out every now and then. "

    "Very very expensive to buy a house anymore! Used to be full of long-time residents and older houses but has been taken over by overly developed homes."

    "I purchased my condo at BartonPlace condominiums pre-construction and can attest to the pleasure of living in this community. Zilker Park, often referred to as The Jewel of Austin is two blocks away. The Zilker neighborhood is safe and friendly. We even have a meet up, dog yappy hour. "
