Clarksville
The historic neighborhood of Clarksville was founded by former African American Slaves in 1871 and today is recorded in the National Register of Historic Places to recognize and preserve its unique history. Just steps away from the action-packed 6th St. district of downtown Austin, Clarksville is a quiet haven of charming houses and mom-and-pop shops. Some words to describe Clarksville include trendy, quaint, artsy, and peaceful. The neighborhood attracts many young professionals enjoying all that life has to offer. You will find residents walking, biking, socializing, and dining at all hours of the day and night. Favorite eateries include Jeffrey’s, Cipollina, Clark’sOyster Bar, and Josephine House.
A few blocks northeast of Clarksville is the Shoal Creek Hike and Bike Trail.

I have lived in Clarksville, on and off, for the last 23 years. It’s sleepy yet five minutes from downtown. I love seeing the buildings peeking through the treetops and knowing that we are in a family friendly neighborhood filled with restaurants and shopping. But we have all walks of life here. Original residents, students, young professionals which is what makes this neighborhood so great.
