This Texas supermarket chain is only 5 min away and tends to be more busy than Sprouts. Central Texans "love my H-E-B". One of the great obsessions that they hold dear. HEB makes fresh tortillas daily in their bakery and fresh salsa & guacamole in house. They also have "Meal Simple" lunch or dinners in offering a variety of delicious chef-inspired meals ready in minutes to make a bite quickly!

This is considered a high-end grocery store option but not quite like Whole Foods. Central Market is a grocery store chain owned by H-E-B. Here you can find a full-service kitchen plus an in-house cafe, food events & live music weekly. This location is only 8 min away.

Parks & Recreation
This is our favorite neighborhood park. There are short trails throughout the park, a basketball court, as well as a playground. A community of dog lovers congregate in the central area of the park in the evenings from after 5pm. Although this park requires dogs on a leash, there are dogs who roam to play in the central area. Garrison Park is only a 2 min drive away but also only 7 minutes for a nice evening walk.

We love coming to Zilker Park and its only 15 min away. This massive park is over 350 acres and is a juncture of Barton Creek and the Colorado River (which are where trails are located near "Lady Bird Lake"). There are grills and picnic tables, and bathrooms. The central area of the park is an off-leash dog area so if you're looking to enjoy a picnic be sure to avoid this area.

I love coming to this beautiful (and moderately challenging) hiking trail. It has a decline of .5 miles down to a peaceful area of the Greenbelt with calming sounds of the water flowing. You will also hike back up the incline .5 miles to exit. Be careful of the gravel/rocks throughout the hike!
