Downtown Living

Downtown Austin has become one of the hottest residential markets in Central Texas. The 5,300 Austinites who live downtown are as diverse as the downtown residences themselves. The downtown community ranges from empty-nesters to students and young professionals. This highly educated, creative, physically active and techno-savvy crowd is expected to double by the year 2010 as an additional 3,000 residential units currently underway are completed.

Housing choices range from upscale high rises like the 5 Fifty Five condominiums atop the Hilton Austin, to the Austin City Lofts complete with outdoor living area and pool, and the AMLI Downtown where loft living harmonizes with trendy retail.

With a thriving downtown residential community comes an abundance of eclectic dining, upscale retail, and entertainment options every day of the week. Choose from 370 dining venues, from creole to Columbian, Southwestern to sushi. Or walk to Whole Foods for gourmet groceries, and entertain at home. Best of all, you can take in Austin’s thriving downtown scene without the hassle of driving.
