Tarrytown is one of Austin's most established and quietly prestigious neighborhoods. Developed in the 1920s along the shores of Lake Austin, it has evolved over a century into a community of gracious homes on generous, tree-lined lots — where the sense of permanence is palpable and the pride of ownership evident in every block.
It sits between Clarksville and the lake, close to the Mopac corridor, and just five minutes from downtown. Families come for the schools and the space; buyers from other cities come because Tarrytown looks and feels like the kind of neighborhood they grew up imagining.
Tarrytown is the kind of neighborhood where neighbors actually know each other — where kids walk to school, where people stay for decades, and where weekend mornings are spent at Mozart's Coffee on the lake or paddleboarding at Emma Long Park.
The beloved lakeside coffee shop is a Tarrytown institution — weekend mornings on the deck with Lady Bird Lake views.
One of Austin's most coveted public elementary schools. The school-zone premium is significant and sustained.
Direct proximity to Lake Austin means access to paddleboarding, kayaking, and some of Austin's finest waterfront restaurants.
The neighborhood's century-old trees create an irreplaceable beauty. Protected and celebrated by an engaged community.
Tarrytown's best homes often change hands quietly, between neighbors and through agent relationships. I've represented buyers and sellers throughout this neighborhood and know which blocks, streets, and even specific houses represent the best long-term value.
