Clarksville’s charming residential vibe, historic beginnings, and proximity to Downtown make it a desirable neighborhood for families and new homeowners.

Austin’s unique qualities are reflected in the eclectic, artistic establishments found in the neighborhood including Jeffrey’s, a well-known fine dining establishment that has had its doors open since the 70s. Nau Enfield Drugstore is another community staple that takes visitors on a nostalgic trip back in time, serving burgers and milkshakes in an ambiance with 1950s vibes, and even features an old-school soda fountain from when the shop first opened.
For a delicious cup of joe, Cafe Medici is a trailblazer in the specialty coffee scene offering a wide array of roasts with its original location thriving deep within Clarksville’s neighborhood. Sledd Nursery is another charming offering unique to the community, serving the town residents for over 40 years with high-quality plants and a beautiful area for individuals to take in some nature.
Also available to residents are the serene and peaceful neighborhood parks within the vicinity such as West Austin Park. Clarksville is truly a unique find, with its quirks and history, while still boasting good schools, quiet streets, and diverse homes.
