What areas should I avoid?

What areas should I avoid?

Austin is a fairly safe city as American cities go but it still has areas that should be avoided, especially at night. The Pleasant Valley area, the Montopolis and the Martin Luther King area, in addition to Lamar Boulevard, all have higher crime rates than the rest of Austin. If you need to go through these places, make sure you don’t draw too much attention to yourself and drive rather than walk if you can. Use a trusted taxi service, such as Pronto Rides or Yellow Cab Austin, to travel around.
