Why you'd want to live in Travis Heights

Across Ladybird Lake from downtown Austin, Travis Heights occupies an enviable position on a hill between Interstate 35 and the most popular stretch of South Congress Avenue. One of Austin’s historic neighborhoods, it was laid out for upscale suburban living but now manages to pack in historic mansions, cozy homes, and reasonable apartment buildings side-by-side while still keeping a reputation for lush green space, shade, and walkable streets much adored by its active residents. Multiple parks with trails and swimming pools add to the appeal, and with its proximity to great food and nightlife and a quick trip to downtown, Travis Heights adds up to one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
