Clarksville is far from suburbia; it’s an eclectic urban hub in the heart of the city so it attracts people who love to be in the mix of things. Clarksville has a good blend of cozy homes with young families, condos with young professionals, and a few funky apartments that are popular with students. It’s a hip area and is home base for much of the city’s creative class.

Dating back to the 1870′s, and founded by freed slaves, Clarksville is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Austin is on the National Historic Registry.  Two historic landmarks are located in Clarksville: the Sweet Home Missionary Baptist Church and the Haskell House.

Clarksville extends from Mo-Pac to North Lamar Boulevard (East to West) and extends from West 6th Street to West 15th Street (North to South). This area is always hot, and you need a pretty penny to own real estate in this area. The average price per square foot is around $300 and up. While some Clarksville homes are some of the oldest and smallest in Austin, Clarksville also offers some of the most impressive homes in the city.  Most homes have been updated or remodeled, with new construction coming in on occasion.

The area is great for shopping and dining. Shop at the flagship Whole Foods where you can pop a bottle of wine while you stroll down the aisles. Stop into Book People and catch an author reading from their latest bestseller, or get the latest music releases at Waterloo Records , and don’t forget to stop by Amy’s Ice Cream for a treat. For more dining there is Jeffrey’s for upscale, Zocalo for a margarita on the patio, and Nau’s for its classic soda fountain burger just to name a few.  Need caffeine – check out Café Medici.

Exemplary Mathews Elementary serves the younger population, while O’Henry Middle and Austin High are the upper schools.

The Old West Austin Neighborhood Association is a great resource for all that is happening around Clarksville as well.

An old central Austin neighborhood that is in the National Historic registry, known for its friendly front porches and tree lined streets that lies east of Mopac, north of Westover, west of Shoal Creek and south of 38th. There are just over 700 homes in this community that boasts bungalow style homes with 800 or so square feet to more traditional updated homes over 2000 sqft.

Shoal Creek Park is the largest park in Bryker Woods. It is between Bryker Woods Elementary & St. Andrews School,  along Shoal Creek south of 34th Street. It has a great covered picnic pavilion, disc golf, gardens and a section of the Shoal Creek Hike & Bike trail. Shoal Creek itself passes through the park and can be easily crossed at the “low water” rock crossing most times of the year.

Many families chose Bryker Woods for its “exemplary” rated elementary school. The middle school and high schools are O’Henry and Austin.

Nearby restaurants and bars include the original Kerby Lane Café ,  Teo’s Coffee and Gelato, Waterloo Ice House, 34th Street Cafe, and Fino Restaurant and Bar.

The neighborhood association is very active and keeps up to date on all community issues and happenings in the area.

Deep Eddy is a small pocket neighborhood bounded by Mopac, Lake Austin, Exposition and Tarrytown. Best known for Deep Eddy Pool which is the oldest manmade pool in Texas, where you can find people like Leon Barish, president of the Friends of Deep Eddy, swimming everyday in the very chilly water all year long. Deep Eddy Pool started as just a spring fed mud hole off the Colorado River that later was turned into a cement pool and a resort that even featured a diving horse off a 50’ platform. Today it is owned by the City of Austin. Up the hill from the pool is Deep Eddy Cabaret, stop in for a beer and a little “old Austin” flavor. Mangia Pizza and Magnolia Café (which never closes) are great for casual dining. For finer dining at dinner or weekend brunch check out Fabi and Rosi, casual but upscale with a fabulous wine list. The traditional homes of Deep Eddy are slowly being restored or bought and redeveloped into larger homes with the same character or modern townhomes. You can travel down streets like Meriden and see every other house has been updated or rebuilt.

The neighbors  of Deep Eddy love the area though for its quick access to Mopac and Downtown. And with the Town Lake trail system literally at your door, there’s no excuse to not get out and get active as well. Having RunTex right there also helps get you motivated to jog around the lake.

Houses for sale in the area right now are ranging from $238 – $300 a sq ft for around 2000 sq ft. The range in price is due to redevelopment of newer, larger homes around the original older homes.

Austin ISD schools are Matthews Elementary, O Henry Middle and Austin High School.

Quaint bungalows, towering oak trees, and down to earth residents, the historic Hyde Park neighborhood is a true Austin treasure. Established in 1890, Hyde Park was Austin’s first official suburb. Hyde Park was also once home to the first state insane asylum, a little known fact.

Hyde Park stretches from 38th Street to 45th (north to south) and Guadalupe to Duval (east to west). Hyde Park is located north of the UT campus and slightly out of the city center

Many of the bungalows were built in the 1920s and 1930s and have a lot of character. Many homes are designated as historic landmarks. The typical home for sale in Hyde Park right now is a classic craftsman style 3 bed / 2 bath built in the ‘30’s with 1400 sq ft. This is a pretty pricey area but the values continue to hold and climb.

The Hyde Park Neighbors Association keeps a great website where you can get info on all that is going on in the area. They also coordinate historical home tours, sponsor holiday events and more. You can also catch up on back issues of the Pecan Press, the neighborhood paper.

Quack’s Bakery is a legendary Austin spot for coffee, sandwiches, and desserts. Other popular coffee shops in the area include Flightpath and Dolce Vita. Mother’s Cafe is a popular vegetarian eatery, ironically rebuilt several years ago after it caught fire because someone was grilling a steak nearby. Hyde Park Bar and Grill is another long time Austin favorite. Fresh Plus, a small grocer and deli that specializes in health food, is another beloved food destination in the neighborhood. Visit the original grocery on Ave B for a little more history and an award winning sandwich.

Depending where you are in Hyde Park depends on the school. Lee and Reilly are the elementary schools, Lamar and Kealing are the Middle and McCallum is the High School.

Austin’s Tarrytown is defined as the area bounded by 35th Street in the North, Enfield in the South, MoPac in the East and Lake Austin on the West. Sometimes the boundary is conversationally extended south to Lake Austin Blvd. Tarrytown is home to Lions Municipal golf course, Reeds Park and a hop skip and run away from the Town Lake trail system. Tarrytown has an eclectic mix of old and new construction.

One of the most prestigious areas in Austin, Tarrytown is full of Austin’s elite, who love the urban location, neighborhood character and good neighborhood schools. In addition to expensive homes, Tarrytown is sprinkled with apartments, condos, and duplexes as well. Some of the homes are large and spectacular with views of a lake. A large part of the area’s appeal comes from its one-of-a-kind location, sitting in a position mere minutes from the heart of Downtown Austin. At the same time, Tarrytown’s numerous architectural gems in these quiet and impeccably clean neighborhoods are generously surrounded by the lush foliage from old shade trees, giving off the feel of a secluded, peaceful sanctuary from the nearby urban cityscape.

The average price for a home in 2009 was $955,000, making Tarrytown one of Austin’s most expensive neighborhoods.
