South Austin is the laid-back, 'Keep Austin Weird' heart of the city, stretching south of Ben White Boulevard toward Slaughter Lane. It's close to Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and the greenbelt trails, with solid budget hotel options along I-35 south and Ben White.
Pros
Cons
🛡️ Safety: Safe, family-friendly suburban area. The main hotel corridors along I-35 south and Ben White are commercial and well-lit. Residential neighborhoods are quiet and low-crime.
