A rural reprieve that’s convenient to Downtown Austin

Historic Charming Up-and-Coming Restaurants Breweries Local Business

Situated about 35 outside of Austin, Bastrop features an inviting and historic Main Street and a large number of outdoor and indoor attractions within its borders. The city itself is a popular stop for many on their drive to Austin, but Bastrop has so much character that it should be a destination city in itself. You’ll find buzzing local restaurants and convenient shopping centers on either side of the Colorado River. Fisherman’s Park and Ferry Park provide spectacular views of the water and plenty of space to enjoy the Texas weather.

Bastrop has grown rapidly in recent years, thanks to a large push by the community to liven up the Main St. district. There’s been a large number of Hollywood hits filmed in and around Bastrop, no doubt because of its Texas charm. Austin may be close, but you might not need to venture far from your apartment in this up-and-coming town.
