Planning a move to Austin -neighborhoods?

Random thought, Household incomes average around $66,488 in Austin. You can expect to pay around $860 for rent here. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. What are your go-to spots? Any help is appreciated.
