The central downtown area in Austin (shaded area on map) has a very desirable HOT housing market. This includes Downtown/UT and the surrounding areas considered close-in. If you like the restaurants and music night life of downtown Austin and the events and activities along Ladybird Lake, you will love living in this area. These homes come at a premium. In Austin, the closer you are to downtown, the more expensive the homes. Here you will find older fixer-uppers sitting next to new construction.
