Historic charm and modern convenience
The former site of living quarters for enslaved people, the Clarksville neighborhood today features a collection of comfortable homes, notable restaurants, vibrant shopping and abundant recreational opportunities afforded by its proximity to the Colorado River. Clarksville is a neighborhood where history intersects with modernity, characterized by the funky, unpretentious vibe reminiscent of old Austin. “It’s a quintessential Austin neighborhood,” says Realtor Robert Hatchell, who has two decades of experience representing sales in the area. “It’s 10 minutes or less from everything that makes Austin so special.”

Celebrate everyone's favorite donkey
Nearby Pease Park is the site of the annual Eeyore's Birthday celebration, traditionally held on the last Saturday in April every year. The event features live music, food vendors and a variety of family-friendly events, all serving as a fundraiser for local non-profits. And 2 miles east of the neighborhood is Republic Square, where every Saturday morning more than 75 local vendors gather for the weekly Sustainable Food Center Farmers Market.
Shop 'til you drop, then eat
For groceries, residents can go to Fresh Plus in the neighborhood or make the 2-mile trip to H-E-B on Lake Austin Boulevard. For home necessities, Target is 6 miles away off Interstate 35, and the shopping haven of South Congress is 4 miles south of the neighborhood. And for some artistic inspiration, the Wally Workman Gallery features the work of more than 50 local and nationally-known artists.
When hunger strikes, Clarksville residents have dining options from casual to glamorous. They can fill up on traditional Tex-Mex at El Arroyo, where the famous sign in front welcomes visitors with an ever-changing cheeky message, or they can stop in at Galaxy Café for breakfast, lunch and dinner in an eclectic interior. For a quick pick-me-up, Medici Roasting serves hand-crafted coffee drinks in a casual and welcoming environment, and Hold Out Brewing is a perfect spot for happy hour, with their wide selection of craft beers and pub grub. For a little more formal date night, locals love Jeffrey’s, an iconic steakhouse with a French influence. “You can walk to so many great restaurants, shops and parks,” says Hatchell. “It’s hard to beat the location of Clarksville.”
