Around Tarrytown

The majority of Tarrytown's real estate is large single-family dwellings, often with guest rooms. Additionally, the region is home to historic homes in a variety of styles ranging from Victorian to modern. For those willing to make a major investment, mini-mansions or multi-story condos are excellent options near Exposition, the neighborhood's main street. The area between Enfield and Exposition also has smaller single-family homes and duplexes at more affordable prices than the more opulent homes in the area.

Tarrytown is somewhat limited in terms of culinary choices, as the area is most drive-throughs with a few sit-down restaurants. It is, however, home to one of Austin's most famous 24-hour diners known for organic American and Tex-Mex fare and a lengthy breakfast menu available day and night. French cuisine and sandwich shops are also available, as well as several delivery services. Several coffee chains with sit-down and drive-through options are also popular choices for residents in the area.

Families of every generation populate Tarrytown, as do young professionals and a small population of students. Residents can be found spending a lot of time outdoors. A cruise down Exposition Boulevard on any afternoon will include sights of parents picking up their children from school, families playing or grilling in their yards, and people of all ages walking their dogs. In the evenings, the tempo of the area slows, but the graduate students in the area hit late-night spots to study and younger visitors come to the area to shop on Exposition and Lake Austin Boulevard.

Fridays within Tarrytown are low-key, but that doesn't mean there aren't options for a good time. Elegant restaurants or going out with a small group of friends make for a more intimate Friday. For a more thrilling night, most residents flock to the late night bars and music venues. Ending the evening in Tarrytown is easy, with coffee shops that are open late and a 24-hour diner on Lake Austin Boulevard.

Sundays in Tarrytown are idyllic and offer many options for residents and visitors alike. Mayfield Park is a hot spot for couples, families, and visitors from outside the neighborhood. This location is famous for housing beautiful peacocks that wander the premises, while visitors go for a stroll, picnic, or play a game of catch. Reed Park is also an area where residents can enjoy a bike ride, jog, or picnic. Walks through the neighborhood itself allow you to take in the beautiful scenery and weather that Tarrytown is known for. For shopping enthusiasts, high-end boutiques, specialty stores, and two large thrift shops are favorites for anyone in need of retail therapy.
