While a majority of this neighborhood is made up of condo residences, single-family homes are also available at prices ranging from $300,000 to $800,000.What is the average age of the homes

Proximity to The University of Texas and downtown are the two primary reasons -- you can walk from this area to the campus as well as numerous restaurants, parks, and film and music venues.What are some the negatives of living in the area?
If you'd prefer to avoid one of the largest college campuses in the nation, you probably shouldn't be looking here!
