Tarrytown Neighborhood Guide
Tarrytown sits on Austin's near west side, tucked between Lake Austin and Mopac, and it has long been one of the city's most established and quietly prestigious neighborhoods. The streets here are canopied with mature oaks, lined with stately homes on generous lots, and the overall atmosphere is one of settled, unhurried affluence rather than anything newly built or flashy. Residents have easy access to downtown and the lake, with Mayfield Park and Lions Municipal Golf Course nearby for outdoor escapes, and Mozart's Coffee serving as one of the few places where the neighborhood loosens its collar a little. Tarrytown is not a neighborhood you stumble into or outgrow quickly, it tends to attract buyers who are planting roots for a long time and have the means to do it right.
