An elegant, advantageously located homebase. Fashioned after the “garden suburbs” popular during the City Beautiful Movement, Travis Heights has always benefited from its close proximity to downtown and to now-bustling I-35. But this elegant respite has never absorbed the hectic pace of life just beyond its comfortable borders. What To Expect: Curvy, shaded streets and short commutes. You’re seemingly close to it all in Travis Heights, which means you can ditch your car and just stroll to Lady Bird Lake, South Congress Avenue, or a cluster of green spaces. Or, since I-35 is on the neighborhood’s edge, you can be en route to the city’s farther-out suburbs in no time. The Lifestyle: Year-round recreation and plenty of reasons to get outside. Residents can easily enjoy the scenic route along the Hike-and-Bike Trail or Boardwalk that run alongside beautiful Lady Bird Lake. Bordering the neighborhood along the west is South Congress Avenue, a bustling stretch of indie and nationally known retailers as well as places to grab a quick, and often al fresco, bite to eat or cup of coffee. Unexpected Appeal: The compact but mighty neighborhood parks. Built in the twenties and thirties, Little Stacy and Big Stacy parks were named for Travis Heights’ early developers. Connected by the Blunn Creek Greenbelt, the former features a wading pool for tots, while the latter welcomes older swimmers to its year-round public pool. The picnic tables and tennis and basketball courts are hotspots, too. The Market: Beautifully restored historic landmarks and contemporary remodels. An 1800’s Victorian here, a mid-century modern looker there, a just-built glass-and-wood knockout across the street. Travis Heights stands out with its eclectic collection of attractive homes. It also boasts the city’s first Local Historic District south of the river. You'll Fall In Love With: The quintessential hipness of South Congress Avenue. Travis Heights is bordered by the section of South Congress Avenue that is Austin’s most vibrant stretch. The tourist-magnet blocks are chockablock with only-in-Austin shops and national-brand flagships, superlative restaurants (many with patios), and several of the city’s grooviest landmarks, like the 1955 Continental Club.

A historic neighborhood just south of South Congress, Travis Heights is famous for its quaint homes, lush greenery, and proximity to Lady Bird Lake. It’s a quieter, more laid-back area compared to the bustling SoCo but still offers easy access to the vibrant amenities of the area. It’s ideal for those who want the best of both worlds — a residential feel with city conveniences.

An eclectic mix historic & vintage homes as you walk to the Heart of South Congress (.5 mile walk from house). Head north, which is down the hill of East Side Drive, cross Oltorf, continue along Stacy Park, turn left on Monroe & pop out on South Congress at Home Slice Pizza & Guero's Taco Bar.

Historic & eclectic adjacent neighborhood situated between the Novel Retreat and South Congress. Recommend causal walking tour through this hood on your way to Jo's Coffee and the South Congress, preferably down East Side Drive (our street) through the shady Stacy Park.
