We are located in a culturally diverse, blue collar, family oriented community.
There are many great food options within a 5 mile radius. But, walking distance will offer Chipotle, Anne’s Treats, 'What a burger', 'Jack In the Box', 'P Terry's', 888 Asian Cuisine and 'Hai Ky' Vietnamese, Subway, Dominos, Papa Johns... There are more as well, this is a quick reference.
There is also a full service bar / pool hall within walking distance by the name of 'Clicks Billiards'.
'Emo's' is about a mile away, a live music venue to check out if you happen to be in town when they're hosting a concert. And in the adjacent parking lots across the street are 'Buzzmill', a local crowd casual bar with a nice outdoor patio and fire pit when it's cold. And 'The Jackalope', another local bar scene with louder music atmosphere, games outside on the patio and the occasional dj.
Although the nightlife is fun, my personal favorite neighborhood destination is the beautiful hike and bike trail right down the street on Lady Bird Lake! Great place for kayak rental or just to take a walk, bike or people watch. Bicycles and electric scooters are readily available to get you places.
Grocery store! The most convenient local store is right across the street from the entry gate to the complex. Otherwise longer term stays may prefer more selection at the grocery store - HEB. It is located about 2 miles away on Riverside Drive.
