2023 Neighborhood Guide To South Congress In Austin

If you’re new to town, South Congress Avenue is just south of downtown Austin past the Congress Avenue bridge over Lady Bird Lake but not as south as south Austin.

South Congress Avenue, also known to us locals as SoCo, is my favorite neighborhood in Austin Texas. I love walking up and down the trip and looking at the shops and eating at the restaurants.

This is the ultimate neighborhood guide to South Congress by a local Austinite.
