Life in Austin 78704
Who refers to areas by zip code? Austiniites do thats who! In a city with as many different flavors and cultures as Austin we acknowledge that each neighborhood can have night and day differences. This is a city that relishes in its various areas, and loves the fact that each area has its own personality.
So what is the personality of central Austin's 78704?

First Thursdays on South Congress - Austin Texas - 03/21/10 11:28 AM
There is always so much to do in Austin. If you are ever headed toward boredom in this city, there is something seriously wrong with you. There is no excuse. We have buses that are free, bike lanes specifically for your riding pleasure, walking and running trails, cabs, trains, automobiles and even a “bike rickshaw”, that’s right, you can hitch a ride on the back of a bicycle pulling a little cab, for lack of a better term, that will hold up to 4 people. What better way to tour Austin than being pulled on the back of a bike, hair … (2 comments)

Life in South Central Austin's Travis Heights - 03/03/10 01:50 PM
Looking for a beautiful neighborhood to live in Austin, Texas? The south Austin area has a lot to offer. My favorite area south of the river is called Travis Heights.

Homes in the area are craftsman style homes built primarily between the 1890’s-1940’s.
