Around Allandale
Most of this area is taken up by small, 1960s-era homes that show pride of ownership. Pricier accommodations are along Shoal Creek and 2222, where you can also see remodels. Those looking for affordable housing may have the most luck in the areas closest to the highway. Since Allandale and Rosedale are known for its quiet atmosphere, the noise created by the overpasses and train tracks along Mopac is a trade-off that can make living in this highly desireable area affordable.
This North Central Austin neighborhood is not particularly known for its culinary scene, but there are several American, Mexican, and Asian-style restaurants available for hungry residents and visitors. Several bakeries in this area also serve their freshly made goods directly to the public. Coffee and tea houses are also a staple of this area, and you can find everything from specialty espresso to discount drinks for commuters who need a quick breakfast and coffee.
Young couples, families, and empty-nesters occupy a great deal of Allandale. The farther south you venture, the more families you are likely to find.
