Background Image

Travis Heights

A historic South Austin gem featuring winding, tree-lined streets and an artsy, walkable community just minutes from downtown.

Welcome To Travis Heights

History, character, and SoCo on your doorstep.
 

The Vibe

Travis Heights is South Austin's original heartbeat — winding streets, heritage oaks, historic homes, and one of the most coveted addresses in the city. It sits just across Lady Bird Lake from downtown but feels like a world away. The neighborhood is walkable, artsy, and deeply rooted — the kind of place where people move in and never want to leave.
 

What to Love

  • Walking distance to South Congress (SoCo) — Austin's most iconic street
  • Big Stacy and Little Stacy parks, connected by the Blunn Creek Greenbelt
  • The Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail and Boardwalk along Lady Bird Lake
  • The annual Travis Heights Art Trail — homes open as galleries
  • 3 miles from downtown with instant highway access
  • Some of Austin's most beautiful and character-rich historic architecture

The Real Estate

Expect a mix of lovingly preserved Victorian, Craftsman, and early 20th-century homes alongside thoughtfully renovated bungalows and modern infill. Lots tend to be generous by central Austin standards. Demand is consistently strong — this is a neighborhood where inventory moves fast.
 
Price Range: $700K – $2M+
 
Home Styles: Victorian, Craftsman bungalows, mid-century, renovated cottages, modern infill
 

Schools

Austin ISD
 
Travis Heights Elementary (PK–5) beloved neighborhood school

Eats & Coffee

  • Jo's Coffee — the 'I Love You So Much' mural and the best patio in Austin
  • Vespaio — Italian fine dining that's been a SoCo institution for decades
  • Home Slice Pizza — New York-style slices and a line worth waiting in
  • Perla's Seafood & Oyster Bar — Gulf Coast vibes on South Congress
  • Güero's Taco Bar — the quintessential Austin Tex-Mex patio experience
  • The Continental Club — legendary live music venue since 1955

Parks & Outdoors

The Blunn Creek Greenbelt threads through the neighborhood, connecting Big and Little Stacy parks — both with pools, courts, and playgrounds. The Hike-and-Bike Trail along Lady Bird Lake is minutes away for running, cycling, and paddleboarding. Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool are a short ride.
 

The Hidden Gem

The Travis Heights Art Trail, held annually in the fall, is one of Austin's best-kept secrets — neighbors open their homes and gardens as gallery spaces. It's the most authentic expression of what makes this neighborhood special: community, creativity, and beautiful spaces.
 
"Travis Heights is the neighborhood I always describe to buyers who want to feel like they're living IN Austin, not just near it. The streets have personality. The homes have stories. And you're never more than a walk from something great."
 
— Alyse Black, Heart of Austin Homes
