Buda

Buda—about 15 miles south of Austin—marries the past, present, and future. From 2010 to 2019, Buda’s population increased by 133% to 16,906. To accommodate new residents, new one- and two-story, single-family homes have popped up throughout the city. While home construction never seems to end in Buda, not all of the structures are modern. The six-block downtown historic district encompasses a number of old buildings and homes. It regularly hosts events highlighting food, drinks, and music. One of the district’s highlights is the Old Town Buda Antique Mall.
