One of Austin's most established and sought-after neighborhoods.

Welcome to Barton Hills

Historical Overview

Barton Hills began development in the 1940s and expanded significantly during the 1950s and 1960s, representing Austin's post-war suburban growth. The neighborhood takes its name from William Barton, one of Austin's earliest settlers who established a homestead near Barton Springs in the 1830s.
 
Originally developed as a middle to upper-middle-class subdivision, Barton Hills has maintained its desirability due to its proximity to natural amenities like Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool. The neighborhood's appreciation for the environment is evident in its long history of conservation activism, particularly regarding the protection of the Edwards Aquifer and Barton Springs. Today, it represents one of Austin's most established and sought-after neighborhoods, blending natural beauty with convenient urban access.
