Looks like the area you're recommending is downtown right? Unfortunately downtown's are not townhouse,single house friendly, even though it's the most convenient/exciting areas.
Does anyone know anything or experience with areas like Tarrytown, Allandale/Brentwood, Oak Hill, Barton Hills, and Old West Austin?
IH35 remains the Berlin Wall for us old timers. Yes, inner West 5th/6th to Lamar is "downtown", but West of lamar has some interesting enclaves.
It's hard not to be enamored of Tarrytown and Old West Austin because of convenience and access to lifestyle. Hyde Park is another bit of the past cherished by folks like me (UT grad, many friends still in the city), but over the years real estate agents and owners became awfully proud of some of the old small houses. As for me, I always feel at home on Enfield....
