Tarrytown

West Austin's old-money neighbourhood on the bluffs above Lake Austin — estate-scale lots, top public schools, and one of the highest price floors in the metro. Median home values sit at $995K — above the Austin-metro median — and the neighbourhood is home to roughly 25,507 residents with a median household income near $94K.

Prices are up 6.7% year-over-year — one of the faster-appreciating pockets in the metro. Rents average around $2,750/month, and 78% of homes are owner-occupied. Demographically, the area skews toward a family-heavy mix with strong demand for good schools and quieter streets, with a typical-for-the-metro commute of 21 minutes and 76% of adult residents holding a bachelor's degree or higher.

On the lifestyle side, Tarrytown is car-dependent, though a cluster of neighbourhood shops softens the edges (Walk Score 39). Inside the neighbourhood footprint OpenStreetMap counts 29 restaurants, 8 cafés, 2 grocery stores, and 5 parks — the kind of day-to-day density that shapes how it actually feels to live here, beyond the price tag.
