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.

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.
Homes sales have been in the range of $180-$260 a square ft. Property values remain strong in this ideal community and location is keen.
