About Mansfield

Mansfield is a residential area in northwest Austin, Travis County, situated between Lake Austin and Lake Travis near Mansfield Dam. The area takes its name from Mansfield Dam, which was completed in 1941 and renamed from Marshall Ford Dam to honor U.S. Representative J.J. Mansfield, who championed the project's federal funding. The dam impounds the Colorado River to create Lake Travis upstream while Lake Austin lies immediately downstream.

The City of Austin groups this area with the adjacent River Place community in its neighborhood reporting system as the "Mansfield–River Place" reporting area. Zip code 78732 covers the broader area, which encompasses several distinct subdivisions including Marshall Ford Vista along Mansfield Drive, Hughes Park Lake, and Mansfield Estates. Homes range from mid-century residences built in the 1960s to new custom construction. Properties along Mansfield Drive include both older homes on established lots and newer luxury construction.

The area occupies the high ground and hillsides between the two lakes, with many properties offering Hill Country views. The 78732 zip code covers approximately 12.8 square miles of land area plus 2.9 square miles of water area.
