Tarrytown

Blends historic homes with updated luxury residences while maintaining their character.

Welcome to Tarrytown

Historical Overview

Tarrytown developed in the early 20th century as one of Austin's premier residential neighborhoods west of downtown. The area was originally part of the Enfield Estate, owned by Pease family descendants, before being subdivided for residential development starting in the 1920s. The name "Tarrytown" was inspired by Washington Irving's famous tale and the New York community of the same name, evoking a sense of established elegance.
 
Development accelerated after World War II as Austin expanded westward. Throughout its history, Tarrytown has been home to many of Austin's business leaders, politicians, and university faculty, contributing to its reputation as an enclave of old Austin wealth and influence. The neighborhood has maintained much of its original architecture, with Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and mid-century ranch homes lining the streets.
 
Notably, Tarrytown managed to preserve its historic character and tree canopy despite Austin's rapid growth, partly due to active neighborhood associations and engaged residents who championed conservation efforts. Today, Tarrytown represents one of Austin's most established, prestigious neighborhoods, blending historic homes with updated luxury residences while maintaining its distinctive character.
