The South Austin region is defined as the area from Lady Bird Lake south to Slaughter Lane between I-35 and Loop 1 MoPac. Over time, the area has grown to be home to a variety of unique neighborhoods. Among these is Cherry Creek, which was developed in phases between the 1960s and the 1990s. The Cherry Creek community is characterized by its mature trees and eclectic mix of homes. Many of the older homes within the community have been updated to include modern amenities and design features. Construction within the Maple Run community took place during the 1980s and 1990s, while the Barton Hills community is one of the city’s most historically eclectic and interesting neighborhoods.

Offering an individualistic feeling within an independent atmosphere, South Austin is the ideal region for those who want to experience the unique scene that Austin is known for. Both cosmopolitan and homey, both hip and charming, South Austin is at the center of what keeps Austin weird.
