Zilker is the neighborhood that defines what people mean when they say they love Austin. It's anchored by Zilker Metropolitan Park — 351 acres of greenspace, Barton Springs Pool, and the start of the Barton Creek Greenbelt — and surrounded by a residential fabric of bungalows, modern renovations, and architecturally striking new builds.
The 78704 zip code has been Austin's most coveted for years, and Zilker sits at its center. South Congress, South Lamar, and Barton Springs Road frame a neighborhood walkable to some of the city's best dining, retail, and live music — while the park keeps it grounded in nature.
Barton Springs at sunrise. Breakfast tacos from Juan in a Million. An afternoon on the trail before dinner at Uchi. Zilker is Austin's most complete neighborhood — culture, nature, and community all within walking distance.
The spring-fed pool is an Austin institution. Open year-round, it's the neighborhood's living room — and one of the best things about living here.
The Barton Creek Greenbelt starts right here — 12 miles of limestone canyon, swimming holes, and rugged terrain.
ACL Music Festival is held right in Zilker Park every October. South Congress and South Lamar are walking distance away.
Uchi, South Congress Cafe, Lenoir, and some of Austin's best taco spots are all in the neighborhood.
Zilker moves fast — the best homes often receive multiple offers within days. I work proactively with sellers to identify buyers before listing, giving my clients an edge in this competitive market.
