Tarrytown is central Austin's established family neighbourhood: mature oaks, older homes being renovated or rebuilt, and Lake Austin on its western edge. It suits families who want city life without a long commute and are happy in Austin ISD's strongest zones. Lots are smaller than in Westlake and rebuilds are common.
