Austin Neighborhood Guides
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.
Hancock
Nestled in North Central Austin, Hancock is a walk-friendly neighborhood offering proximity to downtown and The University of Texas at Austin as well as plenty of green space. Hancock is ideal for those looking for a small-community feel with all the benefits of living in a large city.
Hyde Park Neighborhood Guide
Hyde Park offers the perfect neighborhood for young families and young souls alike. Enjoy the walkability it offers to local restaurants, bakeries and parks while being a short bike/drive away from all that Downtown Austin affords.
Mueller Neighborhood Guide
Mueller is a planned mixed-use community which is quickly becoming one of the trendiest and more desirable locations in Austin. Just three miles from downtown and two miles from the University of Texas, the Mueller development includes family homes, apartments, a shopping center, restaurants and food trailers, connections to public transportation, and modern office and retail space.
Northeast Austin
Northeast Austin has similarities to east Austin: steeped in history; longtime residents whose families have lived there for generations; some quiet residential areas, and some more lively ones!
Northwest Hills
Northwest Hills is an upscale, scenic, family-friendly neighborhood set on a hilltop in west Austin, just off Hwy. 1 (MoPac). Residents have good views of the hill country and easy access to the shopping and dining, as well as major high-tech employers, of north and northwest Austin.
North University
In the North Central Austin area there’s a community with abundant bars, restaurants, coffee shops and parks. Known as the North Campus area, residents there enjoy close proximity to the University of Texas and to downtown.
