Our Take
This Austin neighborhood is a solid choice for those who value a short commute to downtown and access to top-rated high schools. The area is generally safe and offers a decent balance between affordability and amenities. Be aware, however, that home prices have skyrocketed in the area, making it a less-than-stellar value proposition, and limited public transportation options may require a car.
