Highland Park

Those who enjoy hiking also appreciate Highland Park’s proximity to Mt. Bonnell, which offers hikers exquisite views of the city below.

Since Highland Park is located so close to downtown Austin, it is also a great location for those who are interested in taking advantage of the booming employment opportunities available throughout the Austin area. With its proximity to the University of Texas, it is also a cinch for Highland Park residents to pursue their educational goals.

Children living in Highland Park also have plenty to enjoy. In addition to its parks and hike and bike trails, the Austin Children’s Museum is also located in the Highland Park area. Children of Highland Park attend Highland Park Elementary School, which is part of the Austin Independent School District.
