One of the most desirable neighborhoods in Austin
Named for the hilly streets that offer stunning views of the cityscape, Travis Heights first gained popularity in the 1920s. Many of the homes dating from that era feature newly renovated interiors. "It’s full of charm,” says Stacie Watts, an associate broker on the Holm team at Compass with 10 years of real estate experience. “It's currently one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Austin combining the old with the new. It’s located right behind the bustling and growing South Congress district.” With Congress Avenue on the west, Interstate 35 on the east, Lady Bird Lake on the north and Oltorf Street on the south, Travis Heights is one of the most conveniently located neighborhoods in Austin.
Travis Heights offers easy access to Lady Bird Lake.
