North of downtown and the University of Texas campus, this young community has become yet another epicenter of “hip” in Austin. Property values continue to rise, as North Loop is becoming home to many young families, students, and older residents who live in single family homes built in the 1940’s-50’s.

The home of the famous “Y” intersection, West Oak Hill is defined by Highway 290, William Cannon Dr., Southwest Parkway, Thomas Springs, and Circle Drive. Originally “Live Oak Springs,” Oak Hill was annexed by the city of Austin in 2000, and “West Oak Hill” is considered the furrowed west side where “the neighbors are kind, the schools are top-notch, and the stars can be seen brightly, just outside of Austin city lights.”
Warehouse District
Once upon a time, the Warehouse District neighborhood was just an extension of 6th Street, but today it’s perhaps the crown jewel of Austin’s diversity, boasting award-winning hotels, The ACL Live venue, towering views of Lady Bird Lake, and the very best restaurants and entertainment spots that our fine city has to offer.
