Travis Heights is a historic South Austin neighborhood known for early-20th-century homes, rolling hills and mature trees, proximity to South Congress and Stacy Park, and quick access to downtown Austin and Lady Bird Lake.
Travis Heights is one of Austin’s oldest and most established neighborhoods, located just south of downtown and originally developed in the early 1900s as one of the city’s first planned residential communities. Designed with winding streets, varied lot sizes, and Hill Country topography, the neighborhood was intentionally shaped to preserve natural beauty and showcase architectural character.
Today, Travis Heights features a diverse mix of historic bungalows, Tudor- and Craftsman-style homes, mid-century residences, and thoughtfully updated modern properties. Residents enjoy walkable access to South Congress Avenue, local restaurants and boutiques, and nearby green spaces such as Stacy Park and the Blunn Creek Greenbelt. Its elevated terrain offers a quieter residential feel while remaining minutes from downtown Austin.
Known for its strong neighborhood identity, mature canopy of oak and pecan trees, and balance of history and convenience, Travis Heights remains highly desirable for buyers seeking classic Austin character, outdoor access, and close-in South Austin living.
