Creative energy flows through South Lamar, where this distinctive Austin corridor has transformed from commercial strip to vibrant urban district. Rental options include new mid-rise apartments with resort-style amenities alongside older complexes offering better value but fewer features. The neighborhood provides exceptional access to both downtown employment and Barton Springs recreation, though the popularity has pushed rental rates higher with significant competition for available units in newer buildings.
