Zilker

Green Paradise on an Urban Landscape
Zilker balances an authentic southern charm with the perks of a big city. Zilker Park, the neighborhood’s namesake and recreational area, is full of jogging and biking trails with access to swimming and kayaking on the river, music festivals such as Austin City Limits, and an awesome view of the Downtown Austin skyline. Zilker also boasts a wide array of top-notch eateries and late-night hotspots like Uchi and The Picnic. As an added bonus, Zilker is home to creative wonders like the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum.

Renters here take advantage of all the art, food, culture and green space that Zilker has to offer. Young families and millennial often call this place home.

Zilker — 8.4/10 Rating (based on 10 neighborhood reviews)
Wouldn’t live anywhere else! Besides maybe downtown so I don’t have to deal with the traffic crossing the lake. But it’s the best and where all the best restaurants are.

So much nature is walkable from here. Ladybird trail, Zilker Park, etc. Public transit is also good, and I can bike to downtown while staying off of the main roads.

Zilker is the best neighborhood around. You're close to so many restaurants, music venues, outdoor space and activities. You're close to downtown, and the South 1st area. Only complaint is traffic, but that's only during rush-hour.
