Locals browse the fresh produce or buy a snack from the many vendors, along with live music and entertainment. There’s also plenty of live music and entertainment each fall in the nearby Zilker Park, as the Austin City Limits festival brings big-name artists to Austin for a two-weekend extravaganza.

Biking and driving to downtown Austin
Just south of Lady Bird Lake, Barton Creek sits within a 5-mile drive of downtown and its employers, festivals, and events. The neighborhood also has easy access across the area, with the MoPac Expressway intersecting with Loop 360 within its bounds. The MoPac Expressway can take residents north towards The Domain, where many of Austin’s tech companies have either moved or set up a second office. “The traffic here isn’t great,” Walling says. “It’s better than big city traffic but it’s a minor drawback for Austin, unfortunately.” The neighborhood lacks consistent public transportation, but residents who prefer two wheels to four are in luck, with the neighborhood’s trails and protected bike lanes across the river into downtown. Locals can also access the nearby Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, which offers flights to destinations across the country.
The bike lanes connecting Barton Creek to downtown Austin make commuting a breeze.
Barton Creek's proximity to downtown adds urban convenience.
