South Austin's crown jewel — hilly, walkable, close to everything
MLS Listings
Updated daily from Austin MLS. Every active listing in Travis Heights — no sign-up required.
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.
Walk two blocks and you're on South Congress — coffeehouses, boutiques, farm-to-table restaurants, and some of Austin's best people-watching. Walk the other direction and you're in Big Stacy Park with its swimming pool and tennis courts. Travis Heights has one of the best location-to-price ratios in Austin for buyers who prioritize walkability and neighborhood character.
Buying in Travis Heights
Here's what makes Travis Heights one of Austin's most compelling places to buy right now — and what you need to know before making an offer.
South Congress Avenue is one of Austin's most-visited streets — restaurants, boutiques, live music, and year-round foot traffic. Walkability to SoCo isn't just a lifestyle perk; it's a permanent demand driver that keeps Travis Heights values elevated through every market cycle.
Travis Heights' hilly terrain means homes have natural privacy, sightlines, and a sense of space that flat neighborhoods can't replicate. Several streets have downtown skyline or greenbelt views. Buyers who find a well-positioned home here rarely sell.
Travis Heights offers comparable walkability, character, and central location to Tarrytown and Clarksville — but at a 20–40% discount. The river continues to act as an artificial price barrier that historically narrows over time. South Austin buyers who moved in five years ago validated this exactly.
