Many of you have asked me questions regarding the new condo projects and the changes happening downtown. The downtown Alliance recently shared some facts I thought of interest.
1. How many people live downtown now?
2. How many hotel rooms are there currently downtown?
3. How many people live within a 10 minute drive to downtown? Now this is of interest if you are navigating the stop lights around Whole Foods in my opinion! There are 363,000 residents within 10 mintues!!
- Downtown has:
- 8,000 residents
- 5,370 hotel rooms
- Downtown's taxable value represents move than 5% of the City's tax base.
- An area eight times larger than downtown is needed to generate the same average taxable value.
Also this is very neat, Austin was ranked #29 among walkable cities and I challenge you to think of where you could walk to and where you now drive to around your home or business. Go to this link www.walkscore.com/rankings/Austin and enter your address ( I added my zip) and it gives some fun walking ideas and tells you how far it actually is to each location. Of course maybe I should send this when it is not 104 outside!!
Please remember to contact me with any real estate questions.
