After a walk around the neighborhood's tree lined streets, it's not hard to see why people rarely move from Clarksville. Some of Austin's most exquiset homes are located in the area. And Clarksville's finest restaurants, like Clark's Oyster Bar and Jeffery's, maintain their neighborhood atmosphere without sacrificing anything. The area was originally home to Swedish immigrants who moved to the area toward the end of the 19th century, which is why no true Austinite can have dinner in the area without stopping by the famed Sweetish Hill Bakery for a sweet treat afterwards. Its proximity to downtown makes the area appealing to everyone who wants a short commute to work and those that want to be in the heart of the city, experiencing the charm of Austin's history.
