Zilker Austin, TX - Zilker Homes for Sale

Artists, activists, filmmakers and families can all be found strolling the hilly streets of Zilker, a lush neighborhood overlooking Barton Springs and Town Lake. Residents gather for drinks and local music at Shady Grove, Uncle Billy's Brew & Que, or coffeehouse Flipnotics. During the summer, families frequent the cool waters of Barton Springs and enjoy outdoor symphony concerts in Zilker Park. Properties here range from petite houses to large estates and historic homes (the neighborhood dates as far back as 1875). With downtown and South Congress just down the road, Zilker has to be one of Austin's hippest communities (The Rolling Stones played a show in Zilker Park in '06). However, it also caters to the most laid-back lifestyles, with meandering hike-and-bike trails, frisbee golf at Zilker Park, extensive botanical gardens and sunset views of the Congress Avenue Bridge.
