Neighborhood Context

About Travis Heights

Travis Heights is the neighborhood that South Austin residents fight over. Perched on hilly terrain south of the river between South Congress and Congress Avenue, it combines the best of South Austin's character - eclectic homes, mature trees, creative energy - with genuine walkability to one of Austin's best commercial corridors.

The streets roll up and down in a way that's unusual for Austin, creating sightlines and privacy that flat neighborhoods can't offer. Homes here range from original craftsman bungalows and Victorian cottages to architecturally significant modern builds taking advantage of the topography.

🛍️
South Congress Access

Walking distance to the South Congress corridor - Austin's most eclectic commercial street, with restaurants, bars, boutiques, and the Continental Club.

🌳
Mature Tree Cover

Some of the best tree canopy in South Austin. The hilly terrain means homes have natural privacy from the street and each other.

🏊
Big Stacy Park

Neighborhood park with a spring-fed swimming pool, tennis courts, and playground - a true community asset that's a short walk for most residents.

🏘️
Neighborhood Character

Architecture ranges from 1910 craftsman bungalows to striking modern infill. The variety is part of the appeal - no two blocks look the same.
