Colorful, active, dynamic, energetic, diverse all of these apply to this neighborhood, and with its large amount of students in the neighborhood, its easy to see why. The brightly-painted buildings, the trendy little pizza joints, and even the amount of bicycles in the area help define this neighborhood as a haven for University of Texas-Austin students. But even if you arent a student, this neighborhood is terrific there are plenty of apartments to choose from, the housing stock is diverse, and the location is ideal.
