What's Special About South Austin?

South Austin is a little weird--a good thing! There are lots of small privately owned restaurants, particularly Mexican restaurants. A multitude of small local retail stores, particularly on South Congress Avenue, offers fun shopping along with a laid-back, relaxed lifestyle. South Austin also hosts many of the smaller live music venues.

First Thursday - The First Thursday of each month, merchants of the historic, pedestrian-friendly South Congress Avenue keep their doors open until 10 pm (and later in some cases), playing host to an array of events and activities.

Dong Salm Hill - The hill is South Austin's favorite place to walk and relax. The Austin downtown skyline and a bright crisp January blue sky provides the background.
