Tarrytown Neighborhood Guide

Tarrytown Neighborhood Guide

A community-centered, eco-forward place for families.

Peaceful · Traditional · Residential


Head over to West Austin, and you will find the Tarrytown neighborhood, a place which may look quaint and traditional, but is actually occupied by individuals with a modern perspective. Austinites recognize Tarrytown for its animal friendly culture.


In fact, in the 1990s, a controversy erupted when the new owner of Tarrytown Shopping Center banned the sale of animal products, or products deemed harmful to animals. All vegan queso aside though, this neighborhood is ideal for families or people looking to raise one — its tree-lined streets, plentiful sidewalks, and multiple caution signs reminding drivers not to exceed the speed limit, make it the kind of place where you can teach your child to ride their very first bike (which, of course, is more environmentally responsible than any gas guzzler).

But, due to the price point, some fresh-out-of-college folks and new Austin residents prefer to start out in a temporary apartment while they get to know the city. For those ready to put down roots and invest in a place for their family to call home, Tarrytown is ideal.
