KREW picks

Three personal favorites.

Amanda, Sydney, and Spencer shared the Austin neighborhoods they would choose for themselves and why.

Amanda Moon's pick

Hyde Park

This changes yearly, but Hyde Park for the central location and the historic charm that comes with it.

Sydney Grubb's pick

Cherrywood

It has everything I need and I can walk to all my favorite places while still feeling like a small neighborhood.

Spencer Cain's pick

Barton Hills / Zilker

Proximity to the greenbelt, Barton Springs, and downtown. The neighborhood is safe, stylish, active, and has a lot of trees.
