01 · Overview

Where it is & what it feels like

Tarrytown is bounded by West 35th Street to the north, Lake Austin to the west, Enfield Road to the south and MoPac to the east. It dates to the early 20th century, and much of its housing stock is from the 1950s and 1960s.

It's a quiet, established neighborhood with mature trees and lots of history, a few minutes from downtown and UT. Casis Elementary, Lake Austin and Lions Municipal Golf Course are big parts of the draw.
