Background Image

Barton Hills

A quiet, hilly retreat with generous lots under a woodland canopy, tucked between Zilker Park and the Greenbelt.

Welcome To Barton Hills

Nature, quiet, and five minutes from everything.
 

The Vibe

Barton Hills is South Austin's most tucked-away treasure. Nestled between Zilker Park and the Barton Creek Greenbelt, it offers something genuinely rare in the urban core: space, trees, hills, and quiet. Streets wind through mature woodland canopy, lots are generous, and the neighborhood has the feel of a hill country retreat without sacrificing proximity to South Lamar, Barton Springs, or downtown.
 

What to Love

  • Direct access to the Barton Creek Greenbelt — miles of hiking, biking, and swimming holes
  • Bordering Zilker Park, with Barton Springs Pool minutes away
  • Larger lots and more privacy than most inner-city Austin neighborhoods
  • Hillside topography with some of the best tree canopy in South Austin
  • A genuinely quiet, residential feel while being inside the city
  • Short drive to South Lamar, South Congress, and downtown

The Real Estate

Barton Hills is less dense than neighboring Zilker and Bouldin, with larger lots and more privacy. You'll find mid-century ranch homes, renovated 70s and 80s builds, and increasing numbers of high-end new construction taking advantage of the hillside setting. A quiet performer that holds value exceptionally well.
 
Price Range: $700K – $2.5M+
 
Home Styles: Mid-century ranch, renovated 1970s–80s homes, hillside new construction, wooded estates

Eats & Coffee

  • South Lamar corridor is minutes away — Uchi, Odd Duck, Alamo Drafthouse and more
  • Barton Springs Saloon — cold drinks and live music, practically in the backyard
  • Shady Grove — patio classics under the oaks
  • Chuy's original location nearby — Tex-Mex done right
  • JuiceLand on Barton Springs — perfect post-greenbelt refuel

Parks & Outdoors

The Barton Creek Greenbelt is essentially the neighborhood's backyard — offering miles of limestone canyon hiking, mountain biking, and natural swimming holes that feel miles from the city. Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool are minutes away. This is an outdoor-lover's neighborhood in the truest sense.
 

The Hidden Gem

Gus Fruh Pool — a natural swimming hole accessible from the Barton Creek Greenbelt that feels like a secret even to many longtime Austinites. Crystal-clear spring water, limestone bluffs, and almost zero tourist traffic. Pure magic.
 
"Barton Hills is the neighborhood I recommend to buyers who want the soul of South Austin without the density. You get trees. You get hills. You get actual space. And you're still five minutes from some of the best restaurants in the country. It's genuinely hard to beat."
 
— John Blackman, Heart of Austin Homes
