Barton Hills Neighborhood Guide
Tree-lined streets with scenic vistas are a hallmark of this eclectic community where the "keep Austin weird" spirit reigns supreme. Nearby Zilker Park is also a draw.
East Riverside
The still-developing mixed-use corridor is bustling with young professionals.
Great Hills
Since the mid-seventies, Great Hills has developed into a sizable swath of gated communities and luxury apartments nestled into hillsides. A plethora of cul-de-sacs and dead-end roads fan off from the long main streets, which means many homes back up to forests and creeks.

Northwest Hills
