Austin's Most Colorful Historic District

Austin's first subdivision south of the Colorado River, established in the 1800s-1950s, boasts a colorful collection of tree-shaded homes and the most laid-back community in town. We also have the greatest variety of architectural styles in the city.

One look and you'll understand why we want to preserve our history and charming beauty by creating a Local Historic District and a National Register Historic District.
