South Congress, Downtown, South Lamar, Mueller, or Riverside: which is best for a KPMG Austin new hire?

Quick answer

For most KPMG Austin recent grads, Grant would choose South Congress first. Downtown is second because it combines a very short office trip with major-city energy. South Lamar is third for restaurants, activity, and Zilker access; Mueller is fourth for its newer planned environment; Riverside is fifth and works best as the value choice. Budget and desired lifestyle can reorder the list for an individual renter.
