Commuter Parks Suburban Convenient University

Parker Lane is the ideal suburb with commuters. Not only is the neighborhood bounded by Interstate 35 and Highway 71, but the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is five miles east, and Downtown Austin is five miles north. Whether you’re traveling into the city for work or play, or you’re planning some travel by air, Parker Lane is a premier place to put down roots.

If a quiet, affordable neighborhood is what you’re after, then look no further. Parker Lane is located directly east of Saint Edward’s University, and houses the Mabel Davis District Park, a sprawling area that’s home to one of Austin’s two skate parks, covering 12,000 square feet. Enjoy the park’s swimming pool, walking trails, basketball courts, and more!

Though the neighborhood is mainly residential, residents enjoy the variety of restaurants along Oltorf Street, along with the public bus stops, making getting around the area that much more convenient. More shopping and dining options await you just outside of Parker Lane along East Riverside Drive and near the University, especially along South Congress Avenue.

There isn't much in the immediate area but if you're willing to take a walk a few blocks there are a bunch of shops and a few good restaurants.
