Living in Downtown Austin

Downtown Austin runs from the Capitol south to Lady Bird Lake, taking in the Rainey Street district, the Second Street district, and the Warehouse District.

Commute: most downtown offices are a walk. The Red Line commuter rail runs from the Downtown Station north toward Leander.

Daily life: the Ann and Roy Butler hike-and-bike trail circles the lake, Whole Foods' flagship is at 6th and Lamar, and Zilker Park is across the water.

Who lives here: tech and state government, plus a heavy short-term crowd around ACL and SXSW.

What rent buys: high-rise units with lake or Capitol views, pools that stay open most of the year, and no state income tax on the paycheck that covers it.
