Overview
Living in Hyde Park
Hyde Park is one of Austin's earliest neighborhoods, first laid out in the 1890s just north of the University of Texas. Its streets are lined with craftsman bungalows, Victorian homes, and big shade trees. Shipe Park, Avenue B Grocery, and the Elisabet Ney Museum anchor the neighborhood, and downtown is about 10 minutes away.

Insider notes
What to know before you buy
Historic rules
Parts of Hyde Park have historic and neighborhood design rules that affect renovations and new construction. Know what applies before you plan changes.
Character over size
Homes and lots tend to be smaller than in newer neighborhoods. You're paying for location and charm.
Older homes need a closer look
Many homes are close to a century old. Inspect foundations, plumbing, and electrical carefully.
