You can find a Zilker apartment in Austin, Texas for every different taste in architectural style and amenity. A diverse community that is home to independent filmmakers, environmental activists, artists and executives alike, the Zilker neighborhood offers an eclectic array of entertainment and residential options.

When looking for the perfect Zilker apartment, keep in mind that this neighborhood is very hilly, like much of Austin, and as a result offers many residences with beautiful views of the community and of the city beyond. Although there aren't many high-rise apartment communities in this area, there are three- and four-story complexes that provide stunning vistas from generous balconies.

One of the reasons why so many Austinites want a Zilker apartment is the sense of community found here. Residents and visitors often gather at the many bars, restaurants and coffee shops, including the Shady Grove Cafe, a gorgeous stone building that offers hot drinks and live music. They also have a "Starlight" outdoor theater that shows old westerns, mysteries and sci-fi flicks.

The 350-acre Zilker Park is also located in this community, which is the host of the Zilker Park Kite Festival, held every March, and the Zilker Hillside Theatre features jazz, symphonic and country musical acts. A Frisbee golf organization meets on weekends to play games in the park and the botanical gardens are just up the street. Enjoy evenings at Congress Avenue Bridge or a Saturday afternoon at nearby Town Lake.

There are many reasons to start hunting for your Zilker apartment right now, but perhaps the most attractive reason is because this is a nice place to live. Crime is low and you are close enough to downtown to take in a show or visit a club at a moment's notice. Traffic is almost non-existent, so you can enjoy a laid-back, friendly lifestyle.
