hey all, im new here. been renting in austin for yrs now. i prefer east side coz of its vibe but sometimes noise is a bit much. any one else felt this?
Based on my years of living and renting in Austin, I find that selecting a neighborhood should match your daily routine and lifestyle priorities rather than just the overall vibe. I have experienced both sides; while the east side can be lively, some areas tend to be noisier than others. Personally, renting in areas that offer a balance between quiet residential streets and easy access to public transit worked best for me. It is important to visit at different times of day to truly understand what living in an area might entail.
Just moved between some local Austin areas, and it’s fascinating how each has its own quirks. I’m curious, anyone been experimenting with new neighborhoods lately? What vibe do you usually look for when choosing between a quieter spot and a vibrant one?
