Texas Capital is the historic heart of Austin
Texas Capital sits at the center of Austin, anchored by the Texas State Capitol building, which was completed in 1888 from sunset red granite and stands taller than the U.S. Capitol. The Capitol grounds cover over 20 acres of lawns, tree-lined walkways and monuments dedicated to the region’s history. The area has major cultural draws beyond the statehouse, too, including the Bullock Texas State History Museum with its interactive exhibits and IMAX Theatre. The neighborhood’s walkable layout ties together government activity, housing and the energy of downtown Austin.
Visitors to the Texas Capitol can explore the Capitol grounds with its monuments and lush landscaping.
The Texas African American History Memorial is among the sculptures on the Capitol grounds.

Texas Chili Parlor has been open since 1976.
What visitors and residents can find near the Capitol
The Capitol dominates a neighborhood that’s also home to an assortment of other state offices, including the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, the Texas State Securities Board and the Texas Ethics Commission. The Texas Legislature meets at the Capitol for 140 days, starting in January of odd-numbered years. The building itself was completed in 1888, is 302 feet tall and is roughly 1 million square feet in total, with an underground extension added in the 1990s. The Capitol is open for tours seven days a week, as is the nearby Bullock Texas State History Museum. Visitors, employees and residents are within a relatively short stroll of multiple restaurants, including:
Scholz Garten, a beer garden established in 1866 featuring German food, cold brews and a bowling alley
Clay Pit Contemporary Indian Cuisine, a spot for modern Indian dishes served inside a mid-19th-century building with a rustic atmosphere
Texas Chili Parlor, an Austin institution open since 1976 and known for chili ranging from mild to hot in a no-frills setting
Sapori Italian Roots, a restaurant serving house-made pasta in a fast-casual spot that started as a food trailer
Arturo's Underground Cafe, a cozy place for breakfast and lunch, that’s known for its eggs Benedict
There’s a Target with a grocery section just north of the neighborhood on Guadalupe Street. You can make the roughly mile-long trip to downtown Austin’s 2nd Street District for more retail, from Urban Outfitters to the locally owned Toy Joy toy store. “The neighborhood is an ideal location for people who want to be close to the pulse of Austin,” says Judith Bundschuh, a local Realtor and broker with Catalyst Realty. “It’s walking distance to the University of Texas campus, the Capitol, Sixth Street and so much more. It’s the heart of the city."
Condos offer convenient living options in the area.
Condo living dominates the neighborhood’s housing market
Condos are the dominant housing type in Texas Capital. You can find units within the 1960s-built Greenwood Tower or Cambridge Tower, or in The Linden, a relatively recently built 28-story complex. Most of Texas Capital’s condos are either one or two bedrooms, and come with hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances. Units sell for prices from the upper $100,000s to the mid-$800,000s in most cases, but some options around 2,000 square feet or more can top $1 million. Monthly HOA fees in the neighborhood range anywhere from about $500 to $3,000.
Waterloo Park is a peaceful retreat nearby.
Where locals can go for green space
The adjacent Waterloo Park covers about 11 acres and is part of the Waterloo Greenway, a park system that follows Waller Creek for nearly 2 miles. The area offers paved trails through native plant gardens, and a playground adds play space for kids. The Moody Amphitheater, an open-air venue seating up to 5,000, hosts regular concerts and community events. You can also get some fresh air at the Capitol grounds and the Texas Capitol Mall, which have open lawns and benches for picnics and relaxation.
Public and private schools are close by
The neighborhood is zoned to the Austin Independent School District, and students are close to both public and private options. Campuses that are relatively close include:
Cathedral School of Saint Mary, a private school for prekindergarten through eighth grade whose curriculum puts a focus on analytical thinking
Headwaters School’s River Campus, which serves students in grades 6 through 12 has a student-teacher ratio of 13-to-1
Russell Lee Elementary School, an Austin ISD school for kindergarten through fifth grade, with after-school clubs ranging from chess to karate
The University of Texas at Austin’s 441-acre main campus neighbors Texas Capital. UT Austin is the second-largest university in Texas with 55,000 students.
On foot, bike, bus or rail in Texas Capital
