South Austin Neighborhoods

You would be hard pressed to find Austin residents with as much pride as those living South of the river. Even if you don't call South Austin home you know the zip code (78704) and the slogan "Keep Austin Weird" sure seems to fit. Other zips do make up the region and you don't have to be weird to live there, but if you want to get a feel for what Austin is all about, this is a good place to start. Great neighborhoods like Barton Hills, Travis Heights and Bouldin Creek are in South Austin, and SoCo (South Congress) is about the hippest place you'll find with it's funky shops, cool bars (Continental Club, Doc's), great restaurants (Mars, Guero's, Home Slice), and great parties (First Thursday). Auditorium Shores, the Palmer Events Center, and St. Edwards University (one of the prettiest campuses we've seen) are also located in South Austin.
