Not many neighborhoods in Austin are walkable, but Bouldin is. In fact, some streets even have sidewalks. Because of the centralized location, you can walk to all those great restaurants and bars on South 1st, South Congress, and you can even walk (or run) to Town Lake, Barton Springs, downtown, dirty 6th�but don�t walk back if you�re doing what we think you�re doing at dirty 6th . . . Bouldin is downtown, yet feels very separate, unique in its own world.
