Highly recommend Mount Bonnell. Short hike and gorgeous views! Lin on West 6th and Clark’s Oyster Bar are amazing and in the middle of everything. Anywhere near those two is pretty safe to be a great experience. Enjoy!

Thanks a lot for your recommendation. I’ll put this on my list to visit when I’m in Austin.

Mt. Bonell.
Oasis at lake Travis.
Both are best spots for sunset.
Ziller park is lil overrated but you can go to chill.
6th St is an experience for Sat night party if you are in teens, 20s.

Thank you! I’ve heard Mt. Bonell is really popular and people seems to love it.

Barton springs pool is lovely, as is the drive to ski shores cafe.

Really appreciate the recommendation! Can’t wait to see both places for myself.

My wife and I just visited for the first time last week. Some things we enjoyed:

Grab sandwiches and a bottle of wine at Tiny Grocer, then drive to Zilker Park for a sunset picnic.

Rent a $20 kayak off Barton Springs. Some other places quoted $50, so shop around!

View the bats around dusk at the South Congress bridge. I don’t think we’re in peak bat season yet, but there are still many flying around.

Breakfast tacos at Rosita’s Al Pastor. We tried breakfast tacos at several spots, and these were by far our favorite.

People watching on South Congress (lots of shopping) is elite.

I rented a house that had been vacant for a bit & the prior tenant didn’t do a thorough job cleaning up. Agent indicated the owner would be open to having the house cleaned but I would need to have the house professionally cleaned when I moved out (that was fine w me). I just received the bill from the owner for $250, which is super annoying bc there was no expectation communicated that I would foot the bill for this, more so bc the cleaner did a LOUSY job.

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
