Plentiful space meets charming suburbia

Affordable Events Lake Pastoral

Just over 12 miles northeast of Downtown Austin via the I-35 lies Harris Branch, a sprawling suburb that offers lots of space and tranquility despite being just 20 minutes from the heart of the city.

Harris Branch exhibits the classic phrase “everything is bigger in Texas,” with large lawns and expansive green space throughout the area. Just off of Harris Branch Parkway — the main thoroughfare — you’ll find Liz’s Grill, a popular neighborhood spot for tacos. Just south of the community is Walter E. Long Park and Lake. The park serves as a popular venue for markets and concerts, while the lake makes for a relaxing afternoon away from your apartment or house.

If you’re not one for golfing or boating, you’ll have more luck with the nightlife and food scene in Austin, luckily the amenities of the city are well within reach.
