Which is better for an Aggie grad: Downtown Austin, South Congress, or South Lamar?

Quick answer

There is no universal winner. Grant Bynum personally starts with South Congress for many Aggie grads, Downtown for high-rise/high-energy renters, and South Lamar for a slightly lower-energy South Austin/Zilker lifestyle. Work location, office frequency, budget, social interests, apartment age and management should decide the final choice.
