South Austin blends quiet living with access to everyday conveniences
South Austin is a fusion of suburban conveniences within one wide-ranging area of Texas’ capital city. Single-family homes built across several decades dominate most of the community’s quiet streets. All the properties are close to thoroughfares like West Slaughter Lane, where restaurants and stores are readily available. The central Dittmar Park provides 13 acres of space for outdoor fun, and many houses are within walking distance of at least one school. The neighborhood is also adjacent to a stretch of Interstate 35, giving commuters a connection to downtown.
South Austin has a variety of home styles.
From fixer-uppers to recently built homes at varied price points
The South Austin area has an established feel rooted in its mid-to-late 20th-century core. You’ll find houses dating as far back as the 1950s here, and more built from the ’70s through the ’90s. Ranch is the predominant style, and some have already been renovated with modern finishes, while others are ready for personal touches. If you want something that’s modern through and through, South Austin also has a growing number of 21st-century homes, including sleek New Traditional-style options in subdivisions like Novel and the Village on Cooper Lane.
South Austin’s single-family houses sell for prices from the upper $100,000s to the lower $800,000s in most cases, depending on square footage and condition. The area’s condos range from the upper $100,000s to the upper $500,000s, and townhomes vary from the upper $300,000s to the mid-$400,000s in most cases. Condos and townhouses in the neighborhood come with HOA fees from about $180 to $400 per month. The median sale price of about $410,000 in South Austin is less than the citywide median of roughly $550,000. “Costs are still pretty low comparatively, so we see a lot of professionals and new families buying their first-ever home here,” says Mary Daniels, who’s the founder and CEO of Jewel Realty Group and has over a decade of real estate experience.
Akins Early College High School is about 4 miles away.
Local students have public, private and charter options
South Austin is within the Austin Independent School District. Some residents are neighbors with Austin ISD’s Williams Elementary School or Casey Elementary School, which both have Spanish and English dual-language programs. The neighborhood is also home to alternatives like Strickland Christian School, a private institution for prekindergarten through eighth grade, and Valor South Austin, a tuition-free charter school with kindergarten through 12th grade and an A grade on Niche.
South Austin is bounded by Interstate 35 to the east, with easy access to Downtown Austin.
Getting around by car, bus or bike
South Austin can feel secluded from big-city life, which is one of the draws of the neighborhood. However, there are multiple ways to get around the area from here and over to busier sections of Austin:
Interstate 35 runs parallel to the neighborhood and is not only a way to make the roughly 10-mile trip to downtown, but is also a connection to Texas state Highway 71 for the dozen-mile drive to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
South First Street is a central thoroughfare in South Austin and a more scenic alternative for drives north to downtown.
CapMetro bus stops line stretches like South First Street, South Congress Avenue, West William Cannon Drive and West Slaughter Lane, connecting residents to multiple destinations.
Roadways such as West Dittmar Road and West Slaughter Lane have bike lanes for two-wheel travel.
Neighborhood green spaces provide play areas, trails and a pool
South Austin offers multiple opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Dittmar Park is a central hub for recreation, with walking trails that weave under mature trees, a playground, athletic fields and a pool that’s open from early June through mid-August. The park includes the Dittmar Recreation Center, a facility featuring indoor basketball and volleyball courts, along with a weight room. Williams School Button Park is a smaller space for play in the neighborhood, with a nature-themed playground area and an outdoor ping-pong table.
Dining options range from ramen and tacos to Texas barbecue
Foodies in South Austin have quick access to a diverse dining scene, with an assortment of cuisines represented. Some of the choices include:
Ramen Tatsu-Ya, a place for Japanese soul food, including not only ramen, but also items like edamame, rice bowls and dumplings
Switchback Coffee and Beer, a café and bar serving everything from lattes to wine
True Texas BBQ, a restaurant that’s known for its brisket and has a drive-through
Mi Tradicion, a Mexican bakery where you can get sweets like pan dulce and tres leches cake, plus tacos and tortas
China Harbor, a spot with an all-you-eat buffet that has sushi, pot stickers and more
The True Texas BBQ is connected to an H-E-B supermarket in the neighborhood, off South Congress Avenue. There’s also a La Familia Market in South Austin on West Dittmar Road and an Academy Sports + Outdoors location in the Century South shopping center on East William Cannon Drive.
