The Colorado river winds through Austin, with a SW side and a NE side of the river.

SW side is anything on the south, southwest, or west side the River
NE side is anything on the north, northeast or east side of the River

On which side do most celebrities call home?

SW side of river:

Matt McConoughey
Michael Dell
Those actors from Supernatural
John Paul Dejoria
Joe Rogan
Bristol Palin
The wrestler "Undertaker"
Elijah Woods
Robert Plant (formerly)
Patti Griffin
Alex Jones

NE side of river:

Richard Garriott
Marion Jones
Lance Armstrong (formerly)



Any other names?

I was talking to someone who said Lance Armstrong lived out in dropping springs when she was a kid (she’s in college do it wasn’t that long ago). I’m assuming that’s actually Southwest? Or is my geography wrong?

Eh, Lance moved 'into town' some years back, not sure where he lives. Just know that he used to (and may still?) frequent the list of top 10 water users in the city. Not sure where, though.

Matthew McConoughey famously played the bongos in Terrytown many years ago, I assume he was living there then? That would have been NE.

McConaughey lives in Westlake (SW Side). I bet he use to hang out in Tarrytown though.

Sandra Bullock had a house south (Barton Creek) and west (Cuernavaca), but I don't think she lives here anymore.

Willie Nelson has a place in Spicewood (SW/West)

Andy Roddick lives in Barton Creek (SW)

Brooklyn Decker too (SW)

Considering that Downtown (and the Domain) are NE of the river, and the NE side has like 60-70% of the Austin metro population, it's crazy that celebrities don't live there.
