Austin's Original Cool Kid
Travis Heights was cool before South Congress was cool. Tucked into rolling hills just east of SoCo, it's a neighborhood of winding streets, century-old live oaks and pecans, and bungalows that have been holding court since the 1920s. Some of the higher lots even come with downtown and lake views.
It's the rare spot where you can walk to dinner, swim in a free spring-fed pool and still feel like you're tucked away in the trees. In other words, Travis Heights is on a whole other level. (Literally. It's hilly.)
Travis Heights sits south of Lady Bird Lake, roughly bounded by South Congress Avenue on the west, I-35 on the east and Oltorf Street on the south.
The median sale price in Travis Heights over the past 12 months was about $1.05M, across roughly 57 closed sales, at around $617 per square foot.
Homes on tree-lined streets like Travis Heights Boulevard, Newning Avenue and Kenwood Avenue tend to draw a crowd, so preparation pays off.
Market figures: trailing 12 months of MLS closed sales as of October 2026. Verify current numbers before publishing.
South Congress is your backyard: boutiques, live music at the Continental Club (open since 1955), and restaurants like Perla's, June's All Day and Elizabeth Street Cafe. Jo's Coffee handles the caffeine.
Inside the neighborhood, Big Stacy Park and Pool is a free, spring-fed local favorite in the warmer months, and Little Stacy Park connects to the Blunn Creek Greenbelt. The Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail and Auditorium Shores are just to the north, and the famous Congress Avenue Bridge bat colony is about a 10-minute walk away. Summer evenings here are batty in the best way.
Travis Heights is in Austin ISD. Many homes are zoned to Travis Heights Elementary, Lively Middle School and Travis High School (Travis Early College). Nearby private options include St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic School and The Waterloo School. Austin ISD made campus changes for 2026-27, so always confirm school assignments by exact address.
If you want brand-new, uniform and quiet, a master-planned suburb may suit you better. Travis Heights has too much personality for that.
Every street in Travis Heights has its own feel, from the flat blocks near SoCo to the hilly lots with views. I'll help you find the right fit, understand what renovations or restrictions come with an older home, and compete with confidence.
