About Tarrytown
Tarrytown is one of Austin's most prestigious and historically significant neighborhoods, located in central west Austin between MoPac Boulevard and Lake Austin. Developed primarily from the 1930s through the 1960s, the neighborhood is defined by grand tree-lined streets, stately homes, and a walkable village atmosphere that has made it one of the city's most coveted residential addresses for nearly a century.
Homes in Tarrytown range from approximately $700,000 for smaller original homes to over $3 million for extensively renovated or new-construction estates on premium lots. The housing stock includes original 1930s-50s cottages, mid-century ranch homes, Tudor and Colonial Revival residences, and contemporary new builds that have replaced some of the older structures. Lot sizes are generous by central Austin standards, and the neighborhood's mature pecan, live oak, and elm trees create a dense canopy that distinguishes Tarrytown from virtually every other urban Austin neighborhood.
Tarrytown is served by the Austin Independent School District (Austin ISD). Students typically attend Casis Elementary, O. Henry Middle School, and Austin High School. Casis Elementary is one of the most sought-after elementary schools in Austin ISD, and its attendance zone is a primary driver of home values throughout Tarrytown.
MoPac Boulevard borders the neighborhood's east side, providing downtown Austin access in approximately 5-10 minutes and making Tarrytown one of the most conveniently located premium neighborhoods in the city. Lake Austin and the adjacent parks are within walking distance to the west, and the neighborhood's internal streets connect to a small commercial node along Exposition Boulevard with restaurants, a grocery store, and local shops.
Living in Tarrytown
Tarrytown represents central Austin living at its finest — grand homes on tree-lined streets within a 5-10 minute drive of downtown, with Lake Austin accessible on foot. Homes from $700K to $3M+ span nearly a century of architecture, from original 1930s cottages to modern new construction, all unified by the neighborhood's extraordinary mature tree canopy and established character.
Casis Elementary's reputation is a cornerstone of Tarrytown's appeal for families, and Austin High School serves the broader neighborhood. The Exposition Boulevard commercial strip provides a walkable village center with restaurants, coffee shops, and daily necessities. Residents enjoy Walsh Boat Landing and Red Bud Isle for lakeside recreation, the Hike and Bike Trail for exercise, and the knowledge that downtown Austin's restaurants, entertainment, and employment centers are minutes away via MoPac. The premium pricing reflects what is genuinely irreplaceable — a walkable, tree-covered urban neighborhood with lake access and top elementary school zoning in central Austin.
