Northwest Austin includes the region north of Tarrytown to just south of Cedar Park, extending from the Mopac Expressway eastward to Lake Travis. Much of the area on the west side is consumed by park space – St. Edward’s Park, Bull Creek District Park, Emma Long Metropolitan Park, and others weave together to form a vast wooded area next to the lake. These parks offer hiking trails to small waterfalls, swimming, and boating opportunities.
Neighborhoods in Northwest Austin include Northwest Hills, McNeill, Jollyville, and Anderson Mill. While the open green space and lakes might be the initial draw, you’ll soon find plenty to do here, from shopping at Lakeline Mall to visiting the Austin Aquarium. The Mopac Expressway provides convenient commutes into nearby Downtown Austin as well as to the University of Texas at Austin.
