CLARKSVILLE

Clarksville is the closest neighborhood to the central business district, separated only by the thriving Lamar Blvd. retail developments. Because of its proximity, and access to the MoPac (Loop 1) corridor, home values in Clarksville are relatively high for Central Austin. Properties in this area vary in an eclectic manner from modest bungalows to historic mansions, and many owners have done significant renovations to their homes.

The sloping hills of the area add to the aesthetics of the neighborhood and allow many residents to have breathtaking views of downtown and the hill country. The area is ideal for professionals, but the historic charm of the area also makes it a favorite for many of Austin’s best artists.

Residents tend to choose Clarksville, when they want the convenience and amenities of downtown, but still want to have a more traditional neighborhood feel.

Clarksville is a haven for some of Austin's top restaurants, featuring a wide-range of flavors.  Some of the favorites in the area include: Z-Tejas, Castle Hill Cafe, Sweetish Hill Bakery, Jeffrey's and El Arroyo, an eatery known as much for the owner's one-liners, as it is for its outstanding Mexican food.

Locals enjoy Nau's Drugstores, where they make milkshakes and malts the old-fashioned way.  With the convenience of the locale, most residents enjoy relishing in all that downtown offers.  In addition, the area is on the north boundary of the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail.
