Hyde Park Homes
Hyde Park is a historic neighborhood in Central Austin. The area was once distant from downtown and connected by the streetcar in 1891. Now it is well connected by bus, bike and car. Monroe Martin Shipe's original vision was for a self contained community and housing styles varied from large 19th Century domestic architecture to smaller frame houses. The average size of home sold in Hyde Park from 2000-2009 is 1422sqft.
The community is still self sustaining today, and achieves very high walkability ratings on walkscore.com. Favorites include entertainment at the Hyde Park Theater, drinks and dining at the Hyde Park Bar and Grill, and picking up a few essentials at Fresh Plus Grocery. Larger stores are available at the Hancock Center which includes a very popular HEB grocery. This is close the Hancock Golf Course.
The Hyde Park Neighborhood Planning Area contains a National Register District. Remodeling and building permits for these Hyde Park Homes are subject to review by the City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission. This helps maintain this wonderful historic district. There is also new modern construction in Hyde Park too.
