Neighborhood

Located just across Lady Bird Lake from Downtown Austin, Zilker is one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods. Zilker’s tranquil residential streets are complemented by walkable access to an array of shops and eateries clustered along South Lamar Boulevard and Barton Springs Road. However, Zilker is perhaps most famously regarded for its easy access to some of Austin’s best outdoor recreation at Barton Springs, Barton Creek Greenbelt, and Zilker Park.

The neighborhood was actually named after nearby Zilker Park, where exciting events like South by Southwest, Austin City Limits, and the Holiday Trail of Lights take place. The neighborhood has plenty of outdoor amenities itself, including the Umlauf Sculpture Garden and Museum as well as the expansive Butler Shores at Town Lake, which offers live performances at ZACH Theatre and scenic trails along Lady Bird Lake.
