Breathe Easy Here

Just 20 minutes south of Austin, off the beaten path, lies Buda, Texas – a friendly city with small town charm and big plans for the future that are equal parts pragmatic and idyllic. Steeped in area history, Buda holds fast to the values and rich potential that made it a choice location for the first settlers of the 1880s.

The same qualities that made the city attractive in the past hold true today. Safe, affordable, wholesome Buda is a city centered on community, an oasis of country calm at the edge of civilization, unspoiled by the pace of Austin and San Antonio’s big city ways.

Put your feet up, and breathe easy – Buda’s city fathers have seen to it that its historic flavor, laid-back lifestyle, and family values will be protected and preserved for the next generation.

If you’re looking for crafts, antiques, or dining options, Old Towne (Historic Downtown District) is the place to be! An interesting collection of shops, restaurants and businesses, anchored by a variety of historic sites, make Historic Downtown Buda just perfect for strolling. A trip to Cabela’s World’s Foremost Outfitter is an adventure you’ll always remember. Cabela’s is designed to entertain and educate you about the Great Outdoors. Visitors can also enjoy Historic Stagecoach Park that boasts an array of amenities including a hike and bike trail, wildflower meadow, and serves as an excellent place to observe native wildlife, or enjoy sporting events at Buda Sportsplex. For those seeking culinary adventures, a visit to Jardine Foods is a must, who, since 1979, has been producing premium-quality Texas-style salsas, sauces, and other fine foods.
