Just south of Barton Creek Habitat Preserves sits one Austin’s most family-friendly neighborhoods, West Oak Hill. Popular for its large lot sizes and relative tranquility when compared to the rest of the city that lies to the east, West Oak Hill is full of charming older houses, contemporary apartment homes, and plenty of amenities.
The nature preserve to the north is a notable feature, but there are also plenty of shopping centers on the neighborhood’s west side. Local restaurants of all types line Hwy 290 and TX-71, including popular spots like Jack Allen’s Kitchen Oak Hill. Take 290 to I-35 or up to the MoPac Expressway and you’ll be in Downtown Austin in just a few minutes. Commuters will appreciate the less intense traffic in West Oak Hills, and all the parks and green spaces that surround it.
