The Neighborhood:
Clarksville has the best of both worlds: It’s a quaint, quiet Austin neighborhood with unique homes, diverse residents and plenty of history, but it’s in the center of the city and only a stone’s throw from downtown’s many attractions.
Clarksville was founded in the 1870s by freed slaves, and due to its historic nature, the neighborhood has been protected from the harried development happening elsewhere in Austin.
Clarksville extends from MoPac to North Lamar Boulevard (East to West) and extends from West 6th Street to West 15th Street (North to South).
Clarksville borders downtown, so all of the clubs and restaurants are just minutes away. It’s also just around the corner from 6th Street and Lamar, which contains the popular shopping area that includes Whole Foods and Amy ’s Ice Creams.
Getting Around:
Biking is a very popular way to get around within Clarksville and the nearby areas. You'll find various scooter and bike rentals littered throughout the area for easy access (Lime, Bird, Jump, Revel). There are so many restaurants and attractions nearby, that for some Clarksville residents, walking is an easy way to get around the area. However, to get to other parts of the city, driving is most convenient. If you prefer to ride the bus, Capital Metro Route 9 passes through Clarksville. If you get stranded downtown or can’t find a designated driver, a quick Uber/Lyft ride to Clarksville is inexpensive.
Other Things to Note:
The home is located in a quiet neighborhood, a stone's throw from ALL the the famous 6th street bars, restaurants and cafes, and 3 blocks from Whole Foods. Get the best of both worlds! If you enjoy walking, you will love strolling through Clarksville’s hilly streets. Clarksville Park and West Austin Park are two small parks in the neighborhood, and each contain wading pools that are open in the summer. If you’re looking for a larger park, Zilker Park is only a few blocks south, and contains hike and bike trails, beach volleyball courts, large open fields and Barton Springs Pool. Also, just a few blocks northeast of Clarksville is the Shoal Creek Hike and Bike Trail, which is very popular with cyclists.
Clarksville is full of cafes, coffee shops and restaurants, especially along West Lynn. Jeffrey’s, at West Lynn and 12th Street, offers innovative fine dining. It’s pricey but worth it for a special occasion. Cipollina, also at West Lynn and 12th, is a beloved Italian bistro where you can dine in or take out. There are many other popular places to dine and drink.
Safety is rarely a concern in Clarksville. It’s routinely lauded as one of the safest neighborhoods in Austin.
Interaction with Guests:
I encourage my guests to call or message me if they need anything to improve their stay. I live nearby and can drop by the property if needed.
