I move in 2 weeks to near Sun Valley and need a good neighborhood to do my internet search in.. I don't really want to rent in a corporate property,
I am an artist but was promoted with my day job....
I am 35- so I don't care about clubs- just style and culture

Sun Valley is in Idaho!

Is it Sunset Valley? Did they give you a zip code of 78745?

Wow! Yessss it's Sunset Valley- oops!
Obviously, I do not know Austin!!!! It's 78745-
I have to rent a place sight unseen - pretty much...
So even an idea of a good rental community or neighborhood would help! Thanks!!

Sunset Valley is kind of an unusual place. There are older homes with great big lots - sort of semi-rural. This area looks like the berbs of Austin just grew around the community of Sunset Valley. Then there is an area of newly developed condos and apartments (I think - I have not examined these closely) which includes a nice, new, but small City Hall. Then there is a big area (maybe as big as the residential area) that is shopping - strip malls, big box stores, restaurants, which I assume all supports the community through taxes. This commercial area is used by all the surrounding parts of Austin, not just Sunset Valley. It is in a pretty convenient location for accessing downtown Austin as well as the attractions, restaurants and such of south Austin. I'm sorry - I don't know anything about apartments and rentals.

You will be close to downtown and rent is this are will be a HELL OF A LOT CHEAPER than living more central. As far a culture and style, this area may be lacking. Maybe check out south Lamar; I think that will have the vibes that you are seeking and close to Sunset Valley.
