The heart of Austin's downtown
For those who want to live in the middle of the action, Austin’s Sixth Street District checks all the boxes. Because it’s in the heart of downtown, Sixth Street District affords residents all of the nearby amenities of the city, including world-class shopping, dining and entertainment. But there’s more to Austin – and this dynamic, energetic neighborhood – than that. “People hear ‘Sixth Street,’ and they automatically think of bars, and that’s definitely part of it. But there’s so much more to the area,” says Realtor Jack McLemore, who has been representing real estate transactions in the area for more than 20 years. “It’s close to the capitol, museums and the river. And it’s convenient to anywhere in the city because the interstate is right there.”

Eat, drink, shop and be merry
Austin’s moniker of “The Live Music Capital of the World” is a well-deserved one, having launched the careers of countless musicians, including the likes of Janis Joplin, Willie Nelson and Stevie Ray Vaughn. And many of those musicians graced the stages of the bars lining Sixth Street, which has the distinction of offering the most bars per capita of any area in the country. With 88 different watering holes available in the area, there is 1 bar for every 67 people living in the zip code. That range of options makes Sixth Street a magnet for University of Texas students, young professionals, tourists and even long-time Austinites seeking to hear some music, mingle with friends and enjoy themselves. It also means that residents living here have to contend with seemingly non-stop activity – and oftentimes non-stop noise – that goes with that lifestyle.
When they need to stock up on groceries, neighborhood residents head to nearby Whole Foods just across Interstate 35 on Fifth Street, where there is also a Target for any home necessities. The exciting shopping district of South Congress is less than 2 miles south of the neighborhood for any in-depth retail therapy needs. And when it’s time to dine out, Sixth Street District has plenty of options to satisfy. Famed Stubb’s Barbecue is on the neighborhood’s northeast corner, and for a more formal date night, neighborhood residents love the centrally located Perry’s Steakhouse and Grille.

The great outdoors
With all of the indoor entertainment venues in the area, it can be easy to overlook the outdoor recreation amenities nearby.

Parents in search of a playground for their kids will find one just a couple of blocks southeast of the neighborhood at the Sir Swante Palm Neighborhood Park.

Luxury condo living
The median price of real estate in the Sixth Street District is $565,000, and buyers should expect to pay an average of $609 per square foot. While the median price is lower than that of Austin as a whole, the price per square foot is much higher, so potential buyers should be aware that space is at a premium in this area. Due to the nature of the neighborhood, housing options here are limited to condominiums; there are no detached single-family homes or even townhouses. A one-bedroom/one-bathroom in the neighborhood can sell for $319,000, and prices can go up to $3.25 million for a three-bedroom/three-bathroom.
New condominiums offer a luxurious living option for Sixth Street District homebuyers.
