Character

One of the unique aspects of Austin Terrace is that it has both vibrant and quiet areas. Although this part of El Paso is not known for its vibrancy, with the bars in nearby neighborhoods, it is rather difficult to find a place to grab a drink since they are generally located relatively far away. At the same time, this area is very quiet, as there tend to be low levels of noise from traffic.
