Old Enfield
Georgian mansions, Craftsman-style bungalows, Tudor and Colonial Revival homes
Old Enfield’s architectural diversity offers housing options for a variety of budgets. “There are a lot of really expensive houses over there, but also a lot of condos,” Carter says. “There are homes in that area that date back to the early 1900s – Georgian mansions, Craftsman-style bungalows, Tudor and Colonial Revival homes.” Old Enfield has lush, manicured streets with large, meticulously landscaped lawns shaded by sprawling mature trees. Recent sales prices for condos and bungalows range from $800,000 to $1.7 million, while prices for historic and newly built mansions range from $2 million to $6 million. The average home size in Old Enfield is about 3,300 square feet, significantly above the national average.Four academies at Austin High School
Austin Independent School District, which gets an A-minus grade from Niche, serves students in Old Enfield. Students can start at the A-rated Casis Elementary School before continuing to the A-minus-rated O. Henry Middle School and the A-rated Austin High School. Austin High School allows students to concentrate their studies in one of four academies: The Academy for Classical Studies, The Academy for Design & Technology, The Academy for Global Studies or The Academy for Science & Innovation.Pease District Park’s recent renovation
Old Enfield is home to Pease District Park, a 42-acre green space that underwent a $15-million renovation that was completed in 2021. The park includes playgrounds, picnic tables, sand volleyball courts, a treehouse with a large net for lounging and the Pease Park Troll, a large sculpture built by Danish artist Thomas Dambo and a group of Austin-based volunteers. Pease District Park provides access to the nearly 4-mile Shoal Creek Trail, which connects to downtown, where runners and cyclists can hop on the roughly 15-mile Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail around Lady Bird Lake. “Old Enfield is really close to Zilker Park, Shoal Creek Greenbelt and Pease District Park – the green space and outdoor recreation that Austin is known for,” Carter says.Near trendy restaurants and iconic Austin businesses
Just across MoPac from the neighborhood, Littlefield’s Tacos + Coffee is a collab between popular Austin businesses Veracruz All Natural and Medici Roasting, with picnic tables and a play area for kids. To the east, North Lamar is lined with a mix of old-school Austin dives like The Tavern and Shoal Creek Saloon and iconic local businesses like BookPeople, Waterloo Records & Video and Amy’s Ice Creams. Just south of Enfield Road, Clarksville’s Josephine House is a trendy brunch and happy hour spot, and further south, West 5th and 6th streets are home to other stylish eateries like Clark’s Oyster Bar, Lin Asian Bar + Dim Sum and Better Half Coffee & Cocktails alongside longtime watering holes like Mean Eyed Cat and Donn’s Depot. The neighborhood’s nearest grocery store is the flagship Whole Foods Market, 1 mile south on North Lamar.Celebrating Eeyore’s birthday at one of Austin’s weirdest annual events
While Pease District Park hosts events throughout the year, its signature event is Eeyore’s Birthday Party, the epitome of everything “Keep Austin Weird.” This free citywide picnic attracts residents from all over Austin for a day full of live music, costumes, drum circles and face paint – a truly unique annual event.Getting downtown from Old Enfield
Old Enfield is a mile and a half west of downtown Austin, making the location ideal for downtown workers looking for single-family homes or condos in a more residential area. “It’s just west of downtown, so people who work downtown like that because the commute’s not that bad, but you still have a lot of access to culture and old Austin history,” Carter says. Downtown workers can take CapMetro from 24th and Lamar to Republic Square or from Enfield Road to get to the Capitol. MoPac, one of two north-south arteries through Austin, borders Old Enfield to the west, making it easy for residents to get anywhere in the city. Old Enfield’s closest hospital is Ascension Seton Medical Center, 2 miles north. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is 9 miles away.
