Take pride in a Barton Hills home
The Barton Hills/Zilker neighborhood is found in MLS area 7, or zip code 78704, and is often termed “Barton Springs”, due to its proximity to the city’s acclaimed swimming hole, Barton Springs Pool, the celebrated jewel of the Austin city park system.
Bound to the West by Mopac, the South by Gus Fruth Park and the Barton Creek Greenbelt, the East by Lamar Blvd., and the North by Lady Bird Lake, the Barton Springs area combines the funkiness of South Congress, the convenience of downtown, and serenity of Zilker park and its meandering greenbelt for a destination that’s enjoyed significant home value appreciation in the past few years.
To many, the Barton Springs area captures Austin at its most unique core. For those wanting a Mid-Century modern home, a room with a city of park view, frontage on the Barton Creek Greenbelt, and/or a zip code brimming with pride in active community involvement and laid back lifestyles (“78704-Ever” bumper stickers are a constant), Barton Springs is a given.
Location gives the neighborhood its biggest allure. Whereas Downtown and the Lady Bird Lakefront Hike and Bike Trail are just beyond the Barton Springs Road corridor of local eatery favorites Austin Java, Flipnotics and Chuy’s, it’s Zilker Park that neighbors claim as their extended backyard.
Approximately half the size of New York City’s Central Park, Austin’s city park is robust with activity; from kayak and canoe rentals, a sculpture garden, extensive botanical gardens for a city Austin’s size, a kite festival, a miniature train ride, the wildly popular Austin City Limits Music Festival, and Barton Springs Pool.
Fed by three springs and some run-off from Barton Creek, this marvel of a public swimming pool is 1000 feet long, and stays open all year, given the water’s constant 68-degree temperature. The pool is free to the public early mornings and late evenings before they close at 10 PM
Although the community is on the other side of Zilker Park from Rollingwood, the region still remains affordable to many, especially those interested in a renewed appreciation of Mid-Century modern homes.
Given the neighborhood’s inception in 1956, the renovated limestone ranch house set back under Live Oak trees and xeroscape landscaping has become the young professional’s “Austin vision” for hipsters and growing families alike.
