Tarrytown runs from MoPac to the shore of Lake Austin, between Enfield Road and 35th Street, and it has long been one of Austin's most sought-after places to live. The streets curve, the oaks are old, and the lake is close enough to paddle before work. It's a neighborhood of front porches and long-time neighbors, with downtown just a few minutes east.
Tarrytown grew up from the late 1930s onward, around the Tarrytown Shopping Center (1939) and Tarrytown Pharmacy (1941), both still neighborhood fixtures. Its housing stock spans that whole stretch of time: 1930s cottages, post-war ranches, mid-century moderns and a growing number of new builds. Lions Municipal Golf Course, known to everyone as Muny, opened in 1924 and became one of the first public courses in the South to desegregate in the early 1950s. Tarrytown is changing quickly as older homes come down, so buyers who care about original architecture should move with intention. The good ones don't last.
Mayfield Park and Preserve, with its peacocks and old stone cottage, sits next to Laguna Gloria, the lakeside home of The Contemporary Austin. Reed Park has a pool and open lawn, and Deep Eddy Pool is just south. Locals eat at Flo's + All Day, visit holiday lights at Mozart's on the water, shop at Casis Village, and send their kids to Casis Elementary, O. Henry Middle School and Austin High.
