About

Living in Hyde Park

Hyde Park is one of Austin's oldest and most charming neighborhoods, established in 1891 as one of the city's first planned suburbs. The historic district features beautifully preserved Victorian and Craftsman homes on wide, tree-canopied streets within walking distance of the University of Texas campus.

The neighborhood's Duval Street corridor is home to beloved local institutions like Quack's Bakery, Hyde Park Bar and Grill, and the historic Elisabet Ney Museum. Hyde Park's combination of architectural character, walkability, and central location make it a perennial favorite among longtime Austinites.
