Highland Park West Balcones Austin - Highland Park West Balcones Homes for Sale

Highland Park West Balcones Photos Highland Park West Balcones occupies a unique location between downtown Austin and the beautiful land bordering Lake Austin. The area is actually many smaller neighborhoods (see location info below), but over time neighbors have created a single association for the large area. With easy access to Mo-Pac, it's a short drive from here to the university or Capitol complex, but residents also enjoy proximity to Bright Leaf Natural Area, a 217-acre nature preserve, and Mt. Bonnell, where hikers admire breathtaking city views. American bistro Chez Zee draws Austinites to Balcones Dr and The Junior League of Austin makes its home just across the street. Art-lovers can tour nearby Laguna Gloria Museum of Art. During the summer, the community gathers for movies at Perry Park and the annual July 4th Parade and Picnic. Properties in this area are notable for their tall, mature trees and large lots.
