Tarrytown

 

 

What began as a single large plot of rural land has transformed into one of Austin’s most coveted neighborhoods. Tarrytown is said to be nearly picture-perfect with its luscious oak tree-lined streets, well-manicured lawns, and gorgeous backdrop of Lake Austin. The homes in Tarrytown range in style from charming cottages to larger, more ornate grand Tudors. With modern apartments and condominiums sprinkled throughout, you’re bound to find a place that is just the right fit for you.

 

Tarrytown is a traditional, stately neighborhood in the middle of an eclectic metropolitan area. It offers a tranquil haven with all the same access and affluence that comes with living in Austin. The community knows what a gem Tarrytown is and takes pride in its one-of-a-kind, luxurious lifestyle by making it a priority to take care of their neighborhood. This shared reverence curates the strong sense of community that flows through Tarrytown and makes this neighborhood one of the city's best. Nearby neighborhoods include Clarksville, Downtown Austin, Holly, Westlake, and Zilker. 

What to Love

 

• Neighborly atmosphere with a strong sense of community
• Private, luxurious neighborhood
• Waterfront views and easy access to Lake Austin
• A short drive from downtown

 

It’s no secret why Tarrytown is one of the most coveted parts of Austin. It is built along the scenic stretch of Lake Austin, located just outside of the bustling center of the state capital. This neighborhood is in the ideal location for both families and young professionals. In Tarrytown, hiking trails, bike paths, and water adventures are just as easily accessible as the urban entertainment scene. The community is tight-knit, where neighbors quickly become friends.

 

 

Tarrytown is home to some unique eats that turn an ordinary meal into a whole experience. Littlefield’s is an open-air food truck park. It is complete with a large patio, lounging area, and a playground, making it the perfect place to spend the afternoon with the whole family. 

 

Coffee fiends will fall in love with Mozart’s, Tarrytown’s lake-side coffee shop where the local blends are almost as great as the view. Hula Hut is another neighborhood favorite that has earned the title of one of Austin's most iconic restaurants. This restaurant combines Tex-Mex and Polynesian fusion for a flavor like none other. Dressed like a tropical paradise, complete with tiki torches and grass skirts, the Hula Hut has been a Tarrytown staple for over 25 years. 

 

Another long-time staple is the famous Tarrytown Pharmacy. Opened the day before Pearl Harbor, this pharmacy has been the backbone of the neighborhood through all its changes over the last 75 years. While it may seem odd that a pharmacy makes it into the list of things to love about a town, this pharmacy is known to locals as a beloved gathering ground where everyone feels like family.

 

 

Between the waterside location and its appreciation for community, Tarrytown offers a wide range of activities and experiences to enjoy. Paddleboard on Lake Austin, or take a dip in Deep Eddy Pool, one of Austin’s oldest and most popular swimming holes. Catch a round of golf at Lion’s Municipal Course, a green so good that even professionals take a swing. Plant down roots in Deep Eddy Community Garden. 

 

Enjoy all 84 acres of the beautifully maintained Pease Park Conservatory and sign up for one of the numerous events they host throughout the year. West Enfield Park offers a more private park option, complete with a pool to help stay cool during the hot Texas summer.

 

 

Tarrytown is served by the Austin Independent School District. Notable schools in the area include:
