Culture and Elegance carry on in Heritage

Walkable Trendy University

The trendy and elegant Heritage District is located between Lamar Boulevard and Guadalupe Street, south of the Heart Hospital of Austin and north of the University of Texas-Austin. The neighborhood is filled with large homes, many historic, and quiet streets framed by sidewalks. In this peaceful, attractive community, you may just forget how close you are to Downtown Austin and all of the city’s attractions – not to mention the many college students renting in the area.

Heritage features several businesses, mainly located along Lamar Boulevard and Guadalupe Street. You’ll find residents gathering at top-rated P. Terry’s Burger Stand and at Amy’s Ice Creams. Other neighborhood favorites include Black’s Barbecue Austin and Via 313 Pizza. Residents can also head quickly into Downtown Austin, less than two miles south, to enjoy the city’s museums, theaters, and nightlife. If you move to a Heritage apartment, you may find you don’t need a car – the Shoal Creek Greenbelt is nearby, providing a scenic walk all the way to Ladybird Lake.
