Austin Neighborhood Guide
AUSTIN, TX · 78703
Austin's most established luxury neighborhood east of the lake. Deep Eddy Pool, the oldest swimming pool in Texas, is the anchor, and Lake Austin Boulevard runs the southern edge. Stately 1930s to 1960s homes and modern rebuilds sit on large lots under mature pecan and oak canopy. Casis Elementary is the school draw, and Reed Park and Walsh Boat Landing provide lake access.
Source: The Relocation Edition, 2025-2026, Mike Vilece's own market commentary as of Q1 2025, not an MLS series. Tarrytown is smaller than a ZIP code, so there is no separate Unlock MLS median published for it the way there is for the ZIP-level areas on this site. Treat this as calibration, not a valuation. For current metro conditions see the Austin housing market data.

Quiet, canopied, expensive, and 8 minutes from downtown. Tarrytown is Austin's most established luxury neighborhood east of the lake, and it feels settled in a way newer money can't buy. Deep Eddy Pool, the oldest in Texas, anchors it. Reed Park and Walsh Boat Landing give you the water. Stately 1930s to 1960s homes and modern rebuilds on large lots.
Narrow streets, floodplain on some lots, and a $1M floor for a teardown. The streets are a function of when it was platted and won't change. Floodplain status varies lot by lot, not block by block, so check the specific property. At this price you are often bidding against someone who plans to scrape the house.
Casis Elementary, 9/10, consistently among the top in Austin ISD. It feeds O. Henry Middle and Austin High. Casis is a genuine driver of demand here, not a footnote, and it is why the neighborhood holds value through slow markets. Confirm zoning by address.
$1,650,000 was my Q1 2025 read, on a range of $1M to $5M+. Days on market ran 38, list to pending, slower than Central Austin generally. That is normal for a market this thin and this expensive. Neighborhood figures from the guide, not an MLS series.
Not especially. Walk Score 55, dining 52, errands 50. Parks score 78, which is the honest strength here: you walk to green space and the lake, not to shops. If walkability is the priority, Clarksville a few minutes south scores 85.
Clarksville is smaller, denser and closer in, on the same Casis feeder. 3 minutes to downtown against 8, Walk Score 85 against 55. Tarrytown gives you lot size, lake access and quiet. Clarksville gives you West Lynn on foot. Clarksville also runs higher, $1,800,000 against $1,650,000 in Q1 2025.
No pressure, no pitch. I'll tell you what fits and what doesn't, even when it costs me a sale.
