Clarksville is 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 agood blend of apartments, condos and homes. The cozy homes attract young families, the condos are populated with youngprofessionals, and the funky apartments are popular with students. It’s a hip area and is home base for much of the city’s creativecrowd (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 ina quiet, old neighborhood. Clarksville is one of our favorite neighborhoods in the 78703 zipcode.
