From the legendary Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood just a short drive away, to the stunning hike-and-bike trails of the Barton Creek Greenbelt, Southwest Austin is an outdoor lover's paradise. You'll find a mix of established neighborhoods, modern apartment communities, and plenty of local gems that give this area its unique, friendly character.
