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.
Lost Creek Neighborhood Guide
Lost Creek is a safe, quiet, high-end neighborhood with large homes hidden in the trees and forests in west Austin. The neighborhood is known for its good views of the hill country, natural scenery, and peaceful atmosphere.
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.
Old West Austin
Old West Austin is a historic, centrally located neighborhood just north of Lady Bird Lake and just west of downtown. The neighborhood’s historic district dates back to the mid-1800s, shortly after the city of Austin was incorporated.
