Here Are The 10 Richest Neighborhoods In Austin

Austin has seen some serious growth over the past few decades. Just like the fluctuating costs of gas that we complain about, everyone is complaining about the rising costs of living in the city. This includes renting and owning property and businesses. When we get caught up in the midst of, “This is SO expensive” and “I can’t afford to live here anymore,” we forget that the reason why Austin has become one of the richest cities in the nation is because of all of the little factors like our welcoming atmosphere, laid-back fun events, and oh-so much more. These are the 10 richest neighborhoods in Austin.
