Old Enfield offers historic charm just west of downtown Austin

Just west of downtown and the University of Texas at Austin, Old Enfield is a historic neighborhood offering single-family housing and condos in a centrally located, tree-lined community. “Old Enfield is a charming, historic area known for its older architecture,” says Realtor Summer Carter with eXp Realty. “A lot of the older, well-established families like that area. It’s more affluent, with historic elegance and architectural diversity. It’s a mixture of families who have been in Austin for a long time and young professionals living in condos, who are living in that community but not necessarily buying mansions. People build their own tight-knit communities in that area.”

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.

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.

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.
