TARRYTOWN

The Neighborhood of Tarrytown has long been one of Central Austin’s most prestigious areas. With the mixture of a superb location near both downtown and Lake Austin, lots of green spaces, and incredible amenities only a stone’s throw away, Tarrytown is an extremely sought after neighborhood.

Homes in the area tend to be very high-end and ornate, and well taken care of. Accordingly, properties in this neighborhood are among Central Austin’s most expensive, and homes along Lake Austin can sell for several million dollars. The historic qualities of many of the properties simply can’t be found in today’s newer neighborhoods, and residents are intent on both maintaining current homes, and also limiting the commercial development in the area.  Residents of this area are often the movers and shakers of the city, as well corporate CEO's and Hollywood celebrities.

Because Tarrytown is bordered by Lake Austin, the water is always a favorite attraction.  Reed Park is where area residents go to swim, hike and bike, relax and picnic.  The 22-acre, turn of the century, Mayfield Preserve is also in Tarrytown.  During the summer, nothing beats the heat like Deep Eddy, the oldest pool in Texas.

As for dining, a local favorite is Zoot, one of Austin's premiere eateries.  For a more festive atmosphere, Hula Hut is an outright Austin legend, and is on the edge of the lake.  Coffee drinkers will love sitting on the deck at Mozart's, and enjoying the serene setting.
