Tarrytown is one of Austin’s most established and desirable neighborhoods. Located just minutes from downtown Austin and adjacent to Lake Austin, it offers a rare combination of mature tree-lined streets, architectural character, and proximity to the city’s cultural and economic center.
Today the neighborhood blends historic homes, mid-century architecture, and design-forward new construction, making it one of the most compelling areas for luxury real estate in Central Austin.
At Mogavero Group, we focus on architecturally significant homes and new construction that define the next generation of Tarrytown living.
Tarrytown sits immediately west of downtown Austin and just east of Lake Austin, giving residents exceptional access to both the city and the lake.
The neighborhood is generally bordered by:
• Lake Austin to the west
• MoPac Expressway to the east
• Enfield Road to the south
• 35th Street to the north
Because of this location, residents are typically:
• 5–10 minutes from Downtown Austin
• minutes from Lake Austin marinas and waterfront parks
• close to Lady Bird Lake trails and recreational areas
This proximity to both urban amenities and waterfront recreation is one of the primary reasons Tarrytown continues to command some of the highest real estate values in Central Austin.
One of Tarrytown’s defining characteristics is its architectural diversity.
Homes in the neighborhood range from early Austin cottages and mid-century residences to contemporary architectural homes built by some of the city’s most respected custom builders.
In recent years, design-driven new construction has become one of the biggest trends shaping the neighborhood.
Modern homes often feature:
• expansive natural light
• indoor-outdoor living
• high-end materials
• wellness amenities such as gyms, saunas, and cold plunges
Several builders are helping shape the next generation of homes in the neighborhood.
OTTO Design Build

Tarrytown is served primarily by Austin Independent School District (AISD).

Casis Elementary School
