There Goes the Neighborhood

Look out Hyde Park, Max is on his way ... There goes the neighborhood!

All About Hyde Park

We signed the lease on a condo today. I'm so excited! This is after exhaustively researching many areas of Austin, checking out numerous neighborhoods and getting a lot of suggestions from friends and long time residents of this cool city.

My Uncle suggested taking a look at Hyde Park, with our base of operations starting at Hyde Park Bar & Grill. Hubby and I had a great 'date' there and absolutely loved it. Great food, great small town atmosphere.

Just north of University of Texas campus area, Hyde Park is minutes from downtown but maintains a quiet small-town atmosphere.

I've been camping craigslist (which has turned into mostly agent spam nowadays), padmapper, rental management company listings and the classifieds for months. But finally I found us the perfect little apartment, and it was amazingly available even this late in the 'college' rush season.

We'll be a block away from Shipe Playground and only a few more blocks away from the popular venues at the 43rd and Duval 'town center' with so many nice little restaurants, a deli, bakery and Fresh Plus grocery.

We move in the first of September. Can't wait to begin more Max adventures in our new neighborhood!
