Welcome to Zilker, Bouldin, Travis Heights, and Barton Hills
Mix of suburban and urban neighborhoods near some of Austin’s best shopping and dining.
Across the Colorado River from Downtown Austin, you’ll find the Zilker, Bouldin, Travis Heights, and Barton Hills neighborhoods. These communities offer an eclectic blend of home styles, residential areas, schools, entertainment, and much more. While each neighborhood is close in proximity, they each offer up their own unique personalities, conveniences, and amenities.
These communities are best known for their exceptional dining, attractions, and shopping. One of the area’s most beloved destinations is Zilker Park, which has been referred to by some as the Central Park of Austin. At this park, you can explore the Zilker Botanical Gardens, rent a boat, or take in views of the beautiful Zilker Holiday Tree (open seasonally). Wherever you find yourself in this region of Austin, you are sure to locate exactly what you need and desire.
Homes in these areas range significantly in size, style, and price. Homebuyers have a wide selection of luxury condominiums to quaint ranch-style homes and everything in between. However, residential properties in this area are a bit higher than Austin’s average. Many of the single-family homes located in each of these neighborhoods start near $800,000 and go up to $4+ Million for more spacious residences.
