Central Austin Neighborhoods

Austin offers a diverse range of neighborhoods from trendy to suburban to downtown lofts.   That's one of the things that most Austinites love about our city, just drive a mile or so down the road and you'll experience something different! 

Austin has limited public transportation, so if you need to use public transportation, you will find yourself looking in the Central Austin area where Capital Metro offers more frequent service. 

Tarrytown, Enfield, Hyde Park, Clarksville, Bryer Woods, Travis Heights and SoCo are some of the older, more established, and often offer some of the more"prestigiious" addresses.  Homes in these areas have the charm and architecture of years past intermingled with infill new construction to add a more eclectic feeling.   A prime benefit of living in these areas is their proximity to downtown Austin and all of it's amenities and employers including many hospitals and medical facilities, plus downtown hi-rise employers. 

Tarrytown is considered to be one of the more prestigious addresses and homes here are generally in the $500K and up range.   Located just minutes to the west of downtown Austin, it is a very convenient location.

Nearby is Enfield, which offers homes from the smallest cottages to the largest mansions priced in the millions.   This eclectic mix provdes a diverse and charming centrally located area in which to live.
