Most people living in South Austin would tell you that they love living south of the Colorado River. Since South Austin is one of the more vibrant areas of town, if you were looking for the origin of the city's moniker "Keep Austin Weird," this would be a good place to start. Boutique stores, owner operated restaurants, and local art galleries, gives South Austin lots of character. Its residents are as diverse as its streets which translates into an exciting dining scene offering a kaleidoscope of flavors. The live music scene is also alive and well with top-notch venues like the Broken Spoke. St. Edwards University attracts many students into the area and shopaholics cannot miss a visit to the SoCo shopping strip.
