Senior apartments are communities geared exclusively toward residents 55+, and provide amenities similar to a typical apartment complex. These communities offer older adults an easier lifestyle by taking care of tasks such as yard work and household repairs, but they typically provide limited organized social events and few additional services compared to those offered by independent or assisted living communities.
When it comes to senior apartments, Austin, Texas offers many great options, and A Place for Mom can help you find the right one.
Austin is considered to be one of the most expensive cities in Texas with a cost-of-living index rating nearly 20 points higher than the national average of 100. Austin makes up for this high cost of living with relatively affordable essentials. This is evident in the fact that both the health care index and grocery index are below the national average of 100.
The availability of quality medical communities in a region can be an important factor for many seniors in deciding on a place to live. Austin is a major metropolitan area, and as such, offers many options for medical care. The highest rated hospitals in the Austin area are:
Austin has a humid subtropical type of climate. These regions are usually characterized by hot, humid summers and in Austin’s case, mostly mild winters. Austin’s proximity to both the typically humid Southeast and the more arid Western areas of the state imbue its climate with characteristics typical of the climates of both regions. On average, Austin humidity levels tend to hover around 66%. Humidity is often highest during the month of December at about 69%.

Austin is a large, diverse metropolitan area and is known as a college town, home to the University of Texas. The city has a reputation of politics and values that are more left-leaning than the conservative image that most of Texas tends to project, and Travis County often votes blue in major elections. The region is home to many industries and is particularly known for those in the high-tech and computing sector. Austin is also building a reputation as an emerging presence in pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields.

Along with Austin’s reputation as a forward-thinking college town, or as a high-tech bubble in central Texas, the city is perhaps best known to many as “The Live Music Capital of the World.” Texas may be famous for its place in country music history, and while Austin has plenty of country music, the city features hundreds of music venues showcasing every genre imaginable. It’s quite easy to find live music every night of the week in Austin. Much of Austin’s nightlife centers on the historic Sixth Street, the city’s main entertainment district. Every year Austin hosts the South by Southwest music festival, showcasing top music talent big and small, of all genres, from performers all over the world.
If you’ve had your fill of loud entertainment and want to escape to somewhere tranquil, visit the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum, a serene outdoor sculpture garden dedicated to the works of American sculptor Charles Umlauf. The garden is wheelchair accessible, features a number of secluded benches to sit and talk, and the statues are waxed, allowing visitors to touch them if desired.
History buffs may be interested to know that Austin is home to the LBJ Presidential Library, a memorial library dedicated to Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States. Located on the grounds of the University of Texas, the LBJ Library sits within a 14-acre campus and contains numerous artifacts dedicated to the life of the former president, including a replica of the Oval Office decorated to appear as it did during his presidency, as well as a photo mural displaying scenes from Johnson’s life.
Austin is also home of the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, the official history museum of the state of Texas. Named after former lieutenant governor Bob Bullock, the museum includes a tribute to the region’s Native American heritage, historic and contemporary art and music from the state, science exhibits, and even showings of Texas-themed “b-movies.” The Bob Bullock museum is a must-see destination for anyone the least bit Texas-curious to learn the details of the path that led from the region’s early history to the state we know today.
