Old Enfield offers historic charm minutes from downtown
In a city that moves fast, Old Enfield takes its time. This Central Austin neighborhood is just outside downtown but feels worlds away, with winding streets, leafy lawns and classic homes in the Old West Austin Historic District. Pease Park and the Shoal Creek trail are practically in your backyard. Follow the trail south, and you'll hit Lady Bird Lake. People move to Old Enfield for the peace and privacy of a historic neighborhood, but everything Austin is known for is right around the corner.
Quiet living with tree-covered lots and classic homes
Old Enfield is known as one of Austin's most prestigious and sought-after neighborhoods. It's been that way since the early 20th century, and it's easy to see why. Most homes are set back from the street on manicured, tree-lined lots that give you more space and privacy than you'd find in most Central Austin neighborhoods, and some are even gated. Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Georgian Revival are common architectural styles, with smaller bungalows in the neighborhood's western half. And while Old Enfield is best known for its historic charm, it does have a few modern homes and condos.
This Colonial Revival-style home is a classic example of Old Enfield's residential charm.
Georgian Revival is just one of many architectural styles in the Old West Austin Historic District.
Buyers in Old Enfield will find that cozy bungalows tend to be a more affordable option.

A range of prices across the Old West Austin Historic District
Space and privacy come at a high price. Old Enfield's median sale price is just over $1 million, which is twice the citywide median. However, it's still more affordable than Pemberton Heights and Bryker Woods, the other two neighborhoods in the Old West Austin Historic District. Condos tend to be the most affordable option, with older units selling in the high $300,000s, but new condos go for over $1 million. Bungalows sell from the high $600,000s to the low $1 millions, while larger single-family homes land in the multimillion-dollar range and don't come on the market too often.

Access to bike paths and the MoPac Expressway for commuting
Most residential streets don’t have sidewalks, but they’re quiet enough that people still walk on them. You can walk to nearby parks, shops and restaurants, or use the Shoal Creek Greenbelt to bike downtown. Bike lanes also make it easy to reach the University of Texas campus, less than 2 miles away. CapMetro buses run along Enfield Road. Old Enfield is a convenient home base for commuters heading into Silicon Hills, Austin’s tech hub, via the MoPac Expressway.

Hike-and-bike trails from Pease Park to Lady Bird Lake
Pease Park is Old Enfield’s 84-acre backyard. It underwent a $15 million renovation in 2021, making Kingsbury Commons a family-friendly green space with a playground, splash pad, basketball court and treehouse. You’ll see people sitting in the picnic areas with coffee, tacos and shaved ice from the park’s local food trucks. Every April, Pease Park hosts Eeyore's Birthday Party, an all-day celebration with live music, drum circles and costumes. It's one of Austin's longest-running events and about as "Keep Austin Weird" as it gets.
The Shoal Creek trail passes through the park, too, so it’s a go-to for runners, bikers and dog walkers. Follow the trail south, and you'll hit Lady Bird Lake. From there, you can reach Zilker Metropolitan Park, home to Barton Springs Pool, or the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail. Shoal Beach at Town Lake Metropolitan Park is another local favorite along the water.
You can fish in the Colorado River just south of Old Enfield.
