Judges Hill Homes for Sale

Judges Hill blends historic character with a convenient location just north of downtown Austin. One of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, it traces its roots to the mid-1800s, when judges and attorneys built homes within walking distance of the Texas State Capitol. Today, that legacy remains visible in the neighborhood’s collection of historic properties, many of which are designated Austin Historic Landmarks and showcase architectural styles such as Greek Revival, Victorian and Colonial Revival. While those classic homes give Judges Hill its distinctive identity, condos make up much of the current housing inventory. Outdoor recreation centers around nearby Pease District Park, Austin’s first public park. Visitors enjoy access to the Shoal Creek Trail, a playground, courts, and an outdoor exercise area. Judges Hill residents are also minutes from a variety of restaurants, from Olamaie for Southern-style fare to BOA Steakhouse for Japanese wagyu. The University of Texas at Austin main campus is nearby, the core of a school with an enrollment of 55,000. Transportation is another advantage. Sidewalks, CapMetro bus service, Guadalupe Street and nearby Interstate 35 make it easier to reach downtown, major employers and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
