Newer builds often feature pristine architecture and panoramic views from high floors.

Local Lifestyle

Downtown Austin packs life, energy, and fun into the lives of those who inhabit the city. Living here or commuting to it frequently places you among fun-loving people who thrive in the robust offerings the city has to offer. Since it’s home to many lucrative businesses, philanthropists,  creatives, and students, mornings are lively in preparation for the successful day ahead. Afternoons tend to be quieter as focus time ensues, a person here and there heading out for a mid-day coffee or some lunch break fare. Nighttime is where the city truly flourishes, people come out in droves to take part in local events, grab drinks or stretch their legs with a walk through their favorite part of town.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Variety seems to be neverending when searching for a place to eat, shop or make memories here. Navigating Downtown Austin has been put down to a science as it is simply split into six main districts. The Rainey Street District ranks as the district offering the most favored options for places to grab a bite. Should you only have to pick one must-visit restaurant in the area, your taste buds are best exposed to the dishes at either Geraldine’s or Emmer and Rye. Both are highly ranked area favorites, serving up high-class fusion cuisine in beautiful settings.

You could also head for whimsical and classic drinks and French cuisine at Small Victory or Peche. Either option offers detailed and beautiful interior decor, perfect for getting inspired while you sip your cocktail and socialize. Classic Italian fare can be had at Sammie’s. Truly in classic fashion, the walls don pictures of Italy and family portraits while handmade pasta is served atop white table cloths, fine china, and crystalline wine glasses.

Freetime puts you at the mercy of all the possibilities Downtown Austin has to offer. Socialites adore the vast options for nightlife, often heading to The White Horse, an amped-up nighttime club that fuels dancers with great music, tacos, and handcrafted cocktails. Austin City Limits Live is yet another great option for live music, drawing huge crowds year-round. Famous bands, singers, and shows frequent the venue.

Whether you’re just visiting or need to relax at a lavish spa, your best choice is the Austin Proper Hotel. Ranked as the #1 hotel in the city, guests rave over the beautiful interior decor and impeccable customer service.

Shopping is as much an adventure as a night out here. Scattered around the city you can find stores like Free People, and Luxe Apothetique. All styles are catered to at the shops around the city, aptly reflecting the various tastes of the residents.

Things to Do

This list could easily go on forever due to everyone in Downtown Austin loving to keep busy and have fun. Bask in the fresh air at Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail and Boardwalk at Lady Bird Lake, with year-round lake views. High, medium or low-intensity exercise and leisure time can be spent at this beautiful park year-round. 

Another outdoor favorite is Zilker Park, a green space with over 350 acres kept in pristine shape for public enjoyment. It’s no secret that Zilker is Austin’s best park, so it’s often busy and lively. For events, plays, festivals, and live music, the Emma Long Center is the city’s go-to venue.
