Austin by Area
Nine parts of the city, each with the neighborhoods inside it and the communities on its edge.
Austin gets divided a dozen different ways depending on who is doing the dividing. These are the nine we use, and we use them consistently: every neighborhood guide on this site belongs to exactly one of them, so a neighborhood is never filed in two places and no two pages describe the same ground.
Two of the nine overlap the others on purpose. Downtown Austin is both its own area and part of Central Austin. 78704 is a ZIP rather than a compass direction, and it sits inside South Austin. Both have their own guide because people search for them by name, and both link to the wider area rather than repeating it.
Other ways to look
If you already know the neighborhood, go straight to the neighborhood guides. If you are looking outside the city, try the surrounding communities. If you are not sure yet, start here.
