Rainey Street District

Historic bungalow bars meet luxury high-rise living on Austin's most dynamic lakefront street.

About the District

The Rainey Street District has transformed from a quiet residential neighborhood of early 1900s bungalows into one of Austin's most vibrant entertainment and residential destinations. Today, the historic homes serve as beloved bars and restaurants while luxury high-rise towers rise above, offering residents front-row views of Lady Bird Lake and the downtown skyline. The district delivers a rare mix of walkable nightlife, waterfront trails, and world-class dining steps from your front door.
