Austin, Texas
Central Austin
Historic streets inside the core
Central Austin runs roughly from the river north past the University of Texas to Highway 183, and from Mopac east to I-35. It holds the city's densest concentration of historic districts.
Housing is a mix of preserved craftsman and tudor homes, sensitive renovations and a growing number of condo and small-lot projects along the Lamar and Burnet corridors.
Because the land is fully built out, supply is naturally limited and well-renovated homes here tend to hold value through slower cycles.
