Old West Austin offers plenty of great opportunities for outdoor recreation at its many neighborhood parks, including the expansive Pease District Park, which touts scenic trails, athletic courts, and ample green space in addition to hosting the wildly anticipated Eeyore’s Birthday Party event every year.

You can’t talk about shopping in Old West Austin without mentioning the legendary Waterloo Records. What began in the early 80s as a small, listen-before-you-buy music store has exploded into the internationally recognized definition of indie cool. A collector and music lover’s dream, this CD/record shop was rated one of the best in the world by Buzzfeed.

Seton Medical Center Austin lies in the northern portion of the neighborhood, adjacent to numerous restaurants, shops, and cafes along 35th Street. Many Old West Austin residents enjoy short commute times with close proximity to Downtown Austin, the University of Texas at Austin, multiple major medical centers, and the MoPac Expressway.

Getting Around:
The narrow residential streets of Old West Austin, cushioned between a major boulevard and a major highway, have survived since the days of carts and buggies. Many residents bike, since parking can be scarce. Hartford Road and Winsted Lane are very bike friendly, and Lamar Boulevard has dedicated bike lanes. The Capital MetroBus and University of Texas at Austin buses shuttle students to and from campus. Folks from out of town can take advantage of Uber drivers in the area.

The home is in Old West Austin in the city of Austin. Here you’ll find three shopping centers within 0.7 mile of the property. Five parks are within 2.9 miles, including Shoal Creek Greenbelt Park, Austin Nature and Science Center, and Zilker Nature Preserve.
