Clarksville

An eclectic urban hub in the heart of the city, so it attracts people who love to be in the mix of things. Clarksville has a good blend of apartments, condos, and homes. The cozy homes attract young families, the condos are populated with young professionals, and the funky apartments are popular with students. It’s a hip area and is the home base for much of the city’s creative crowd (there are many art galleries in Clarksville), and it’s a very fun place for singles. Thanks to its historic roots, Clarksville has been protected from growth, but the adjacent West End area with its anchor in the so-called CentralDesign District at Lamar and Sixth means local Austin residents get the best of both worlds -- a taste of urban living in a quiet, old neighborhood. Clarksville is one of our favorite neighborhoods in the 78703 zip code.
