THE FIRST IMPRESSION
West Austin, with room to exhale.
Between MoPac and Lake Austin, residential streets lead toward neighborhood parks. Consider the terrain and the route to everyday destinations as closely as the house.
01 / ARCHITECTURE & CHARACTER
Read the streets,
then the house.
Established houses and later construction share West Austin’s varied lots. Instead of reading age or quality from the exterior alone, look at the relationship between floor plan, trees, slope and outdoor space.
- Housing character
- Established detached homes and later construction
- A public place
- Reed Neighborhood Park
02 / ON A VISIT
Put the map
into perspective.
Reed Neighborhood Park and Tarrytown Neighborhood Park offer two public points of reference. The broader area lies between MoPac and Lake Austin, but the experience of each street deserves its own visit.
- Review the lot’s slope, drainage and tree conditions with qualified help.
- Test the route to everyday destinations at the times you expect to travel.
- Treat water access as a property-specific question, never a neighborhood assumption.
03 / THE QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING
Every address
has its own context.
How do slope, drainage and tree cover affect the lot?
Confirm school assignment, restrictions, property condition and any water access for the exact address with the appropriate authority. This guide makes no school, safety or lifestyle rankings.
Talk to David about TarrytownOpen the property research deskWhat the public record says
Figures describe the No City of Austin boundary exists for Tarrytown. Tarrytown is not among the 65 named planning areas in the City's neighborhood layer, so there is no official boundary to measure against. Figures below are therefore limited to ZIP 78703, which contains most of what people mean by Tarrytown but is larger than it.
- Typical value
- Not published for Tarrytown itselfMonth ending 31 August 2026
Zillow publishes no Tarrytown region. ZIP 78703, which contains it, indexed $1,307,386. Nearby named areas indexed separately in the same month — Old Enfield $1,195,436, Bryker Woods $1,251,726, Windsor Road $2,225,795 — which shows how wide the range inside this part of West Austin is. None of these is a Tarrytown figure.

- Historic designation
- Tarrytown is not inside the Old West Austin National Register districtListed 12 September 2003
That district covers Old Enfield, Pemberton Heights and Bryker Woods. Tarrytown addresses are frequently described as being in it; check the designation for the specific property rather than the neighborhood name.

- Flood zone
- Determined parcel by parcel — check the specific addressRetrieved 22 September 2026
This guide makes no neighborhood-wide flood claim. Look the address up on FloodPro and on FEMA's Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov), check the current FIRM panel, and ask what a lender will require for that parcel.
- Combined property tax rate
- $2.046485 per $100 of assessed valueTax year 2025
The most recent year all five jurisdictions have adopted a rate: Austin ISD 0.9252, City of Austin 0.524017, Travis County 0.375845, Austin Community College 0.1034 and Travis Central Health 0.118023. The City has adopted 0.579948 for tax year 2026, but the other four had not as of 22 September 2026, so no complete 2026 combined rate exists yet. Rates are per $100 of assessed value and exemptions are property-specific.

These are public records, not advice about a specific property. Figures change, boundaries are not parcel lines, and an index is not a valuation. Verify anything you intend to rely on against the source and the property itself.
BUYING HERE / PRACTICAL TRADEOFFS
What to test before you decide.
- A generous lot and usable outdoor space
- Walk the yard and sketch the parts you would use. Consider slope, steps, drainage questions, and access for maintenance. Lot area alone does not explain how the outdoor space will function.
- Mature trees and future changes
- Map the trees alongside any proposed addition, driveway, or pool. Ask a qualified arborist and design professional about condition and feasibility, and confirm any City review needed for the actual project.
- A West Austin location and specific access rights
- Keep proximity to Lake Austin separate from any claim of water access. Identify the exact facility or right being offered and verify it in the applicable documents.
