Interestingly enough a rather surprising number of families in Austin live in apartments. 78741 has some of the highest number of children living close to downtown and 87% of the housing in the area is apartments.
This fits with the importance of having a backyard. Perhaps this is a sunbelt trend? As the rust belt is abandoned for the sun belt the value of a backyard seems less important (as many never leave their air-conditioning)?
- natrius 14y agoI personally value a backyard less after growing up with a rarely-used one, but I think the prevalence of families living in apartments in that area is just because they can't afford anything else. It's the cheapest place to live in Austin, especially if you account for transportation.
