Quiet community in growing South Austin
About 5 miles from downtown, South Manchaca is in the heart of ever-developing South Austin, which has seen an increase in new housing, restaurants and attractions. However, residents say South Manchaca has maintained its friendly charm while benefiting from its proximity to the heart of the city. Though the area has seen changes throughout the years, there is still a strong feeling of community for new and longtime residents. "People look out for each other here," says Brittany Godfrey, a Realtor with JB Goodwin Realtors and resident of the South Manchaca area for over 10 years. "You can still walk down the street and wave and chat with your neighbors." The neighborhood is close to several major highways and thoroughfares, allowing for travel throughout the city.
South Manchaca is filled with southern live oak, and juniper trees.
The Armadillo Neighborhood Park is mostly shaded.

Midcentury ranchers and newly built estates
Private driveways and wide, grassy lawns border the curving residential streets in South Manchaca. Ranch-style houses and cozy two-bedroom bungalows built in the 1950s and '60s blend with newly built contemporary properties. The result is a wide range in home prices. Residences from the mid-1900s range from $425,000 to $600,000, while new builds generally cost between $700,000 and $1.6 million. "There's a lot of homes that have been remodeled and kept the same structure," Godfrey says. "I have seen a lot of new homes come in, but that's just the progression of the neighborhood." There are a few condos and townhouses in the community, which generally list between $300,000 and $950,000.
Some lots in the South Manchaca neighborhood are divided into duplexes.
Some older ranch style homes are still available in the South Manchaca neighborhood.

An array of eateries along Stassney Lane
"There's been a lot of growth in South Austin," Godfrey says. "There weren't as many bars and restaurants down here, so we have a lot more lively nightlife close by now." A growing number of dining spots are flocking to Stassney Lane on the southern end of the neighborhood, including LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue and El Perrito. Rusty Cannon Pub is the neighborhood watering hole, offering pub grub and daily specials. The Vegan Yacht offers an array of burritos and bowls, as well as a small market with vegan jerky and drinks. Of course, any downtown favorites are just a short drive away. There are two grocery stores along Ben White Boulevard, Randalls and Poco Loco Supermercado.
The Rusty Canon Pub features friendly service and a warm atmosphere.
Randalls is quickly accessible for locals and also offers a pharmacy.

The CapMetro bus, which travels all over the city, has several stops along First Street and surrounding thoroughfares. Folks who commute around the Austin area are near Interstate 35 and the MoPac Expressway. St. David's South Austin Medical Center, a 364-bed hospital, is less than a mile away for many residents.

Checking out the Cathedral of Junk
Though Downtown Austin is home to many museums, the Cathedral of Junk is another quirky part of the city that's just minutes away from South Manchaca. Several sculptures and towers exemplify the phrase "one man's trash is another man's treasure." Visitors have to call ahead to make an appointment since the makeshift museum is in the owner's backyard.
