Austin Real Estate - Austin Texas Homes

TRAVIS HEIGHTS

Nestled just south of Town Lake, lies Travis Heights, one of the crown jewels of South Austin. Homes in this area can range from vintage 1920 bungalows, to modern urban dwellings. The area is a haven for professionals who work downtown, but want to live in a beautiful tree-lined neighborhood, without having to commute.

Travis Heights is located in the very sought after 78704 zip code, and residents, in general, are very protective of the integrity of the neighborhood. The area features gently rolling hills, which adds to the character of the neighborhood. Its quite apparent by the lush, mature landscaping, that this is one of Austin’s oldest neighborhoods, and the charm and history of the area is highly regarded.

Because of its setting next to Town Lake, downtown and S. Congress, home prices are relatively high, but the location and amenities still make it a great value for many residents.

Sitting next to Town Lake, Travis Heights residents are afforded easy access to the 10-mile Hike and Bike Trail, one of Austin’s most famous features. In addition, at the south edge of the area, lies the 40-acre Blunn Creek Nature Preserve, one of the best sites for exploring Austin’s historic geology.  Norwood Estate Park, the premiere dog park in a very dog-friendly city is also located in the area.

Travis Heights is only seconds away from Austin’s finest dining and entertainment venues located both in downtown and along S. Congress Ave., which is the Western border of Travis Heights.
