The Galindo Neighborhood

Austin, Texas

A vintage with notes of old-school Austin charm and just the right amount of weirdness, the Galindo neighborhood has a lived-in feel, like your favorite pair of shoes. Those cozy house slippers still look smart and fit you perfectly and are incapable of leaving you with any hints of discomfort. And if you live in the Galindo neighborhood, there’s a good chance you’re a student at St. Edward’s University, which is right around the corner. Galindo has a mixed urban-suburban feel; by day, tall mature oaks dapple the streets with shade from the sun, and by night the neighborhood hums to life.

Construction in the Galindo neighborhood began mainly in the 1950s and continued through the 1960s and beyond.

Facings of rock, brick, stone, and wood in a multi-hued rainbow of colors make Galindo a pleasant distraction.
