I know your going to want and explore all that Austin has to offer and my home is only twenty minutes from the night life of downtown and a stones throw from The Hill Country (actually we are on the fringes of The Hill Country technically)
Lake Austin and Commons Ford Park (for hiking) are a mile or so away. Venture out to Zilker Park, Mount Bonnell, Wimberley, The Oasis, and Hamilton Pool. Old Fredericksburg is about an hour away if you want to do a day trip. There is so much to do in Austin the tricky part is picking!
Got the munchies? Try out the local taste of Austin Pizza at The 263 walking distance just down the road. The Hill Country Galleria walking mall with all it's shops is located only five miles away. There you will find many restaurants, bars, a movie theater, Starbucks, retail stores, Whole Foods, Austin's favorite Maudie's and our own great supermarket HEB. Rosie's is just down the road from the mall on Highways 71 for a taste of old Tex Mex.
