Enfield is indeed lovely. OP may also want to check out
Far West area. Hyde Park can be expensive. Lamar Blvd. has potential and gives you easy access to local music & cultural scenes around South Congress.
South Austin is another possibility.
Since OP is not into bar scenes, there's no need to reside anywhere near the 6th St. and/or downtown. I'd personally avoid West Campus and South Congress as well.
I would think
Capital Metro makes Austin more explorable for those without cars. If you happen to like certain neighborhoods where
UT Shuttles cover, life can be a little bit easier.
