Buda
The town of Buda sprang up along the route of the International-Great Northern Railroad, which was extended from Austin to San Antonio in 1880.
Because of its close proximity to Austin, Texas, Buda is rapidly becoming a bedroom community for commuters to Austin. Commercial development along the I-35 corridor is creating a spike in city sales tax revenue; while city leaders hope that revitalization of Old Town Buda will attract tourists and residents to the Main Street area.
Buda is located less than 16 miles from central Austin. This makes it a great escape from the worst part of the fast-pace city life without loosing touch of all the amenities of a large city. It is also located within a few miles of the San Marcos River, a popular recreational area frequented for tubing, canoeing, swimming and fishing.
