What are the best places to live in Austin?

I’ve wanted to move to Austin since I went to South by Southwest. Now that I have a bit of money saved up, I’m going to take the plunge. I’m just not sure where I want to live. What are some of the best places to live in Austin?

Austin
has more to offer than just this weeklong event. The capital of
Texas
is nothing short of spectacular. Here are some of the best places to live in Austin:
  • East Austin: If you want everything that 6th Street and downtown have to offer without the price, move to East Austin. It’s affordable and packed with trendy bars, farm-to-table restaurants, and a diverse crowd.
  • 78704: Combining four smaller neighborhoods, the zip-code-named 78704 area of the city is ideal for outgoing, adventurous folk. It’s home to the popular Zilker Park, which offers fresh air and stunning views of downtown Austin.
  • Hyde Park: Featuring Queen Anne-style architecture, Hyde Park is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. It has bungalows, multi-family homes, and condos that cater to students and young professionals, providing some of the more affordable housing in the city.
Austin is one of the more expensive places in Texas, so if you want to save some money for the move, a down payment, or a deposit, start by shopping for car insurance. Check out the
