Travis Heights is one of Austin's most charming historic neighborhoods, set just east of South Congress and south of Lady Bird Lake. What makes it special is the homes with real character and the tree-lined streets where the canopy closes in overhead. Over the years I have represented repeat clients who bought in Travis Heights and then moved within the neighborhood because they did not want to leave, and I have leased many homes here too. Having lived in 78704 for over 10 years, I know this part of Austin well.
Character homes under a canopy of trees. Travis Heights is known for its charm: older homes with real architectural character on winding, tree-lined streets that canopy over.
Big Stacy and Little Stacy Parks. The neighborhood's parks are connected by the Blunn Creek Greenbelt. Big Stacy has a spring-fed neighborhood pool that becomes a community gathering spot all summer.
South Congress at your doorstep. Many streets are a short walk to the shops, restaurants and music on South Congress Avenue, and Lady Bird Lake and downtown are minutes away.
Buyers stay for years. I have had clients buy in Travis Heights, outgrow their first home, and buy again within the neighborhood. Homes on the most loved streets near Stacy Park often trade through relationships.
Mind the hills and the trees. The topography and heritage trees that give Travis Heights its charm also shape what you can build. If you plan to remodel or add on, look at the lot, the slope and any historic district rules before you buy.
Check school zoning by address. Travis Heights Elementary sits in the middle of the neighborhood, but middle and high school assignments can differ from one street to the next.
