 Travis Heights in Austin, Texas
|
Development of Travis Heights first began in the late 1800’s,
and the area was initially marketed as an exclusive district
of country estates for Austin’s upper class. But it
wasn’t until the 1920s that development really began
to take off in Travis Heights, during which time homes of
varying sizes began popping up all along the streets. Today,
Travis Heights is a great mix of hip condos, small bungalows,
and historic mansions, and is widely considered to be among
the most desirable neighborhoods in Austin. Over the past
few years, the development of the South Congress “SoCo” area,
with its unique shops and popular hangouts within walking
distance of Travis Heights, have added an additional element
of desirability to the neighborhood.
Travis Heights is located in the 78704 zip code which
maintains a reputation for being one of the most liberal
and artistic zip codes in the Austin area. Travis Heights
certainly fits the bill, with its whimsical neighborhood
charm and unique architectural styles. The streets of Travis
Heights streets roll up and down on a series of small hills
that give some residents great views of downtown Austin
as well as other local landmarks.
