Background Image

Zilker

A highly active neighborhood where world-class park adventures at Barton Springs meet the incredible culinary scene along South Lamar.

Welcome To Zilker

Where the park meets the plate meets the perfect life.
 

The Vibe

Zilker is what happens when a world-class park becomes the backyard for an entire neighborhood. Anchored by the 351-acre Zilker Metropolitan Park and Barton Springs Pool, this is where Austin comes to run, swim, kayak, and gather. The surrounding streets offer bungalows with soul, modern builds with rooftop decks, and one of the city's best restaurant corridors on South Lamar. Zilker residents live at the intersection of outdoor Austin and culinary Austin — and they know it.
 

What to Love

  • Barton Springs Pool — spring-fed, open year-round, and endlessly beloved
  • 351-acre Zilker Metropolitan Park — home to ACL Fest, Kite Festival, Trail of Lights, and everyday life
  • South Lamar Boulevard — one of Austin's finest restaurant and entertainment strips
  • Lady Bird Lake and the Hike-and-Bike Trail at the neighborhood's edge
  • Peter Pan Mini Golf — a beloved Austin original since 1948
  • Umlauf Sculpture Garden — a quiet, beautiful surprise in the middle of it all

The Real Estate

Zilker is premium. The combination of park access, South Lamar dining, and proximity to downtown creates consistent, high demand. You'll find 1920s–30s bungalows on smaller lots alongside significant new construction and large modern estates. Limited inventory means competitive offers.
 
Price Range: $900K – $3M+
 
Home Styles: 1920s–30s bungalows, mid-century homes, modern new construction, contemporary townhomes

Eats & Coffee

  • Uchi — James Beard Award-winning Japanese cuisine, one of Austin's finest restaurants
  • Odd Duck — inventive, seasonal farm-to-table on South Lamar
  • Alamo Drafthouse — dinner and a movie done right, an Austin institution
  • Chuy's — the original location, a Texas Tex-Mex classic
  • Barton Springs Saloon — cold drinks and live music steps from the park
  • Shady Grove — patio dining under the oak trees, pure Austin

Parks & Outdoors

Barton Springs Pool is the neighborhood's crown jewel — spring-fed, 68 degrees year-round, and the social hub of South Austin summers. Zilker Park hosts ACL Festival, the Kite Festival, Blues on the Green, and the Trail of Lights. The Barton Creek Greenbelt's main entrance is minutes away. Lady Bird Lake and the trail system are right at the neighborhood's northern edge.
 

The Hidden Gem

Blues on the Green — a free summer concert series in Zilker Park that draws thousands but somehow still feels like a neighborhood secret. No tickets, no stages, just great live music on the grass with the Austin skyline glowing in the background.
 
"Zilker is one of the rare neighborhoods where the lifestyle is genuinely as good as the reputation. I've watched buyers cry at Barton Springs on a sunny March afternoon when they realize this would be their daily life. That's not a sales pitch. That's just what Zilker does to people."
