Welcome to Austin! We’re excited you are here for a wedding at Rose Haven<\/a>, and we hope you’ll stay a few days to explore our wonderful area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps your wedding has a hotel block, and if so–great! But if you’re on your own for accommodations, many people are concerned with staying in the safest areas in Austin. Fortunately, Austin is a safe area in general. Whether you’re booking a hotel or a vacation rental, you’d probably like to know it’s in a safe neighborhood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safest Areas in Austin for Vacation Rentals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few specific neighborhoods, particularly if you’re considering a vacation rental home. These are great neighborhoods to look into, and some of the safest areas in Austin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Downtown Austin:<\/strong> Downtown Austin is a vibrant area offering a mix of cultural attractions, dining, and entertainment. It has a violent crime rate 51% below the national average, making it a secure choice for visitors.

6th Street Safety:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people ask about our famous 6th Street in particular, and how safe it is to explore. 6th Street, particularly the section known as “Dirty 6th,” is renowned for its nightlife, attracting both tourists and locals. However, it has experienced incidents of violent crime, including a mass shooting in 2021. The city has since implemented the ‘Safer Sixth Street’ initiative, enhancing lighting, installing more cameras, and establishing a staging area for first responders to improve safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
