Austin people

So, my son is going to move to Austin this month to attend college. He and a friend are getting an apartment. I'm just wanted to check to make sure the apartment is not in a "bad" area.

The apartments are 400 West St Elmo Rd: http://maps.google.com/maps?rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS335US335&sourceid=chrome&q=400+west+st+elmo+rd+austin+tx&um=1&ie=UTF-8&split=0&gl=us&ei=1eyCSvLRCJKJtgf0n8DSCg&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1

Is that an ok area?

Surrounded by liberals and t-sips........

when i lived there 20 years ago it wasn't bad. not sure that helps or not.

So when did he decide he was gay?

LMAO!!!

Now did he pick that apartment complex because of the location or because there is a brewery right behind it?

From my memory, it's not the greatest place but it's not in the middle of a warzone. He should be okay there. The "college-kid apartments" part of town is bordered by I-35 East Riverside Dr Grove Blvd and Oltorf. The apartments you put may be a better idea because cars are vandalized and broken into constantly in the college apartment areas. Another area is Far West Blvd but the price goes up a little out there and it may be further from his college.
