South Austin

Keep it weird, keep it walkable

South Austin runs from Lady Bird Lake south past Ben White, bounded loosely by Mopac on the west and I-35 on the east. It is the part of town most people picture when they picture Austin.

Housing ranges from 1950s ranch homes on generous lots to new modern builds and a fast-growing condo market along South Lamar and South First.

Barton Springs, Zilker Park and the greenbelt sit at the northern edge, which keeps outdoor access a primary driver of demand across every price point.
