The Neighborhood:
Welcome to Clarksville — one of Austin’s most beloved historic districts and the definition of “old Austin cool.” This pocket neighborhood is small but mighty, filled with colorful bungalows, walkable streets, and a food scene that locals keep close to their hearts. From here, you can ditch the car and actually live like an Austinite.

West Lynn Street: Your neighborhood “main drag.” Grab breakfast tacos at Café Medici, sip a turmeric latte at Josephine House, or treat yourself to fine dining at Jeffrey’s (an Austin institution).

Walkable Eats & Treats: Cipollina, Swedish Hill, and Galaxy Café are all within strolling distance. Don’t skip Nau’s Enfield Drug — part old-school pharmacy, part soda fountain, and all nostalgia.

Lady Bird Lake: Just down the hill. Jog the trail, rent a kayak, or simply watch the sun set behind the skyline.

Downtown Austin: Barely a mile away — close enough for live music, events, and nightlife, but far enough to enjoy quiet evenings under the trees.

Local Flavor: Clarksville is a designated historic district, so you’ll see century-old homes tucked next to new modern builds — a true Austin mash-up.

Getting Around:
Clarksville is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Austin. You can also use Uber and Lyft in Austin. The nearest international airport is Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) 9 miles | 21 km away. We recommend getting around by car.
