Austin Zip Code Guide

Austin zip codes are shorthand for lifestyle. This guide maps the city's most searched zip codes to the neighborhoods they cover, what living there feels like, and what the real estate market looks like in each one.

78704

South Congress, Zilker, Bouldin Creek, Travis Heights

Austin's most walkable urban-cool zip — SoCo shopping, Barton Springs, food trailers and live music within blocks of downtown. A mix of restored bungalows and modern new builds. Lot value drives pricing, and teardown-to-custom projects are common.

West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, Barton Creek

The classic Austin luxury address — hill-country views, mature oaks, and minutes to downtown across the lake. Eanes ISD keeps demand permanently high. Estate homes, gated enclaves and acreage lots dominate the top of the market.

Lakeway, Hudson Bend, Lake Travis Waterfront

Resort lifestyle — marinas, golf, and waterfront sunsets over Lake Travis. Waterfront and view estates command premiums; inland Lakeway offers more attainable family housing.
