University Area, Austin, Texas

Austin is the home to the University of Texas which caters to over 50,000 students yearly.

Austin landmarks include Hole in the Wall, Toy Joy, I Luv Video and Ken's Doughnuts. The University also offers a plethora of museums and galleries. According to Zillow, the median price of a home here is 207k (which seems low), but this area is predominantly renters.
