Welcome to Hyde Park

Hyde Park is one of Austin’s most beloved and historic neighborhoods, located just north of the University of Texas and minutes from downtown. Established in 1891 as the city’s first streetcar suburb, it retains a timeless charm with tree-lined streets and beautifully preserved architecture. The neighborhood is known for its mix of quaint bungalows, elegant Victorian homes, and early 20th-century cottages that reflect Austin’s architectural heritage. Designated as part of both a Local and National Historic District, Hyde Park places strong emphasis on preservation, ensuring its classic character remains intact for future generations.

The area offers a true sense of community, where residents enjoy a friendly, laid-back atmosphere and a walkable lifestyle. Hyde Park’s small local businesses—coffee shops, bakeries, and restaurants—serve as social hubs, while nearby parks like Shipe Park and the Hancock Golf Course provide green space for recreation, sports, and gatherings. The neighborhood’s blend of families, students, professionals, and long-time residents creates a vibrant, inclusive feel.

Centrally located, Hyde Park provides quick access to UT Austin, downtown, and major city amenities, making it ideal for those who want historic charm without sacrificing convenience. With its leafy streets, community spirit, and enduring “old Austin” appeal, Hyde Park remains one of the city’s most cherished neighborhoods.
