South of Ladybird Lake and tucked between Interstate 35 and South Congress Avenue, sits Travis Heights, one of Austin's most sought after addresses, particularly among professionals who work downtown and enjoy the quiet neighborhood just minutes from the office. Travis Heights gets its name from the lay of the land, the streets roll up and down a series of small rises that give some residents great views of downtown while others look out on quiet woodland hollows. Two parks, Big Stacy and Little Stacy, have the same rolling wooded landscape where families can play; residents can jog or cycle, and play tennis, or simply relax in some of the natural areas in the 23 acre greenbelt along Blunn Creek. The homes are a mix of historic turn of the century estates, charming bungalows and modern new construction. Travis Heights must be considered by any buyer thinking of living in the ever so popular 78704 zipcode.
