Space
Welcome to Travis Heights! This quiet, historic neighborhood located just south of Town Lake provides visitors a genuine South Austin experience.
Our house (built in 1958) sits under a canopy of pecan trees on Travis Heights Boulevard and neighbors beautiful homes built as early as 1890 and others newly constructed and designed by reputable, local architects.
Seasonal Events like ACL, F1, and SXSW require a 4 night minimum rental.
Shortly after we moved in, we learned that our house was used in the 1993 film 'Dazed and Confused' by Richard Linklater. You can see the house best when Tony (Anthony Rapp) and Sabrina (Christin Hinojosa) are kissing goodbye (a tender moment) at the end of the film.
