Walkable downtown energy and lakeside living in Northshore Austin
Northshore Austin is a mixed-use neighborhood along the banks of the Colorado River in downtown Austin. At its center is the 2nd Street District, a lively hub where boutiques, restaurants and live-music venues line the streets between the Sixth Street District and Lady Bird Lake. Here, luxury high-rises sit beside restored industrial buildings that have been reworked into trendy shops and eateries. If you want to trade square footage for a short walk to dinner, a show or the grocery store, this is the kind of place that delivers. The hike-and-bike trail along the water is just steps away, and major downtown employers are close by.
Northshore Austin boasts stunning lake views from every angle.
Northshore Austin is home to cozy bars and restaurants in the 2nd Street District.

High-rise towers with luxury condos and downtown rentals
Vertical living is the norm in Northshore Austin. Sleek high-rise towers make up the bulk of the market, with condos for sale and apartments for rent. Floor plans range from compact studios to three-bedrooms and full-floor penthouses. Many units feature floor-to-ceiling windows framing Lady Bird Lake or the Texas State Capitol, and the luxury buildings tend to come with a long list of shared amenities like fitness centers, pools, dog parks and 24-hour concierge service.
This is a renter-heavy pocket of downtown, though buyers still have a steady supply of condos to choose from. Most for-sale listings come from buildings like the Seaholm Condos, The Austonian and The Residences at W Austin. Studios and one-bedrooms usually sell from the upper $400,000s to the low $1 millions, while larger two- and three-bedroom units can climb past $3 million. And at nearly $1,000 per square foot, Northshore Austin tends to be pricier than nearby neighborhoods like the Market District and the Rainey Street Historic District.

Live music, nightlife and events keep Northshore Austin busy

Northshore Austin’s trails and parks around Lady Bird Lake
For a downtown neighborhood, Northshore Austin has easy access to green space. Both the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail around Lady Bird Lake and the Shoal Creek Trail pass through the neighborhood. Change is on the way for the community's creekside spaces, too. “We have this whole plan for reimagining the Third Street and Shoal Creek intersection, and also converting the surrounding streets into public plazas,” says Ivey Kaiser, executive director of the Shoal Creek Conservancy. That vision includes repurposing a 100-year-old train trestle over Shoal Creek into what Kaiser calls “a mini, High Line-style plaza.” Beyond those trails, outdoor spaces around Northshore Austin include:
Shoal Beach at Town Lake Metropolitan Park, for fishing, paddleboarding and kayaking
Republic Square, a historic downtown park that hosts a weekly farmers market
Statesman Bat Observation Center, where you can see the Congress Avenue Bridge's bat colony
Butler Metro Park, just across the river via the James D. Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge
