The South Austin region is defined as the area from Lady Bird Lake south to Slaughter Lane between I-35 and Loop 1 MoPac.

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.
