Set on either side of MoPac in the heart of Central Austin, Tarrytown and Bryker Woods are two of the city’s most cherished and enduring residential neighborhoods. Tarrytown stretches west toward Lake Austin, while Bryker Woods sits just east of MoPac between West 29th and 35th streets. Defined by towering live oak canopies, manicured lawns, and quiet, winding streets, both offer a tranquil, established atmosphere remarkably close to Downtown. Architecture ranges from charming 1930s cottages and mid-century homes in Bryker Woods to stately traditional residences, renovated classics, and sophisticated new builds throughout Tarrytown. With neighborhood parks, beloved local destinations, Lake Austin access, and highly regarded Austin ISD schools, the area captures an enduring version of Central Austin living.
