An Austin intersection of highways, parks and culture
Georgian Acres is a small community full of pocket parks and Latin American eateries tucked between busy commercial corridors and even busier commuter highways. Loosely part of culturally diverse North Austin, the neighborhood developed mostly during the mid-20th century, directly adjacent to the region's busiest highway interchange, making it a place many commuters stop in or lurch past while sitting in rush-hour traffic on Interstate 35. But savvy gourmands know the neighborhood, like the rest of North Austin, has much to do, see and eat. “It’s right off the freeway and close to downtown, so not far from all the best shopping and dining,” says Sunny Scofield, a Realtor with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gary Greene with over 20 years of experience. Even as the area continues to see new housing and new businesses, the close-knit neighborhood stays engaged with frequent events that showcase community diversity and pride in shared spaces.
Georgian Acres’ tree-lined streets give it a charming, cozy neighborhood feel.

Shaded benches and playgrounds at Georgian Acres Neighborhood Park
Pocket parks, playgrounds and shady groves are dotted throughout the neighborhood, often nestled between homes and businesses. Georgian Acres Neighborhood Park is the neighborhood's central space for playground meetups, pickup basketball and morning walks, all beneath a rich canopy of pecan and black walnut trees. Just outside the neighborhood, shaded benches at Heron Hollow Park offer a calm spot for lunch breaks beside Little Walnut Creek. Directly east and west of the neighborhood are a few options for indoor workouts, either at the Gustavo "Gus" L. Garcia Recreation Center or the North Austin YMCA, which also includes a community garden.
Georgian Acres' parks feature trails for walking, jogging, and biking.

Casual cuisine at El Tianguis Food Truck Park
The North Austin area has long been known for its diverse cuisine, mostly due to its deep-rooted Latin influence. "I definitely go over there for authentic food, and a lot of other people do," says Realtor LJ Sternberg of LJ Residential LLC. The neighborhood's western edge, Lamar Boulevard, is a no-frills culinary corridor quickly developing with chain restaurants and big-box stores. Standalone Mexican joints like Ñoños Tacos are delicious options, but El Tianguis Food Truck Park is the real gem. Directly across from Heron Hollow Pocket Park, the collection of seafood grills, fruit stands, horchata brewers and taco trucks is destination eating with a casual vibe. Right up the road, the Northgate Shopping Center offers even more diverse shopping and dining, including Latin butcheries and Halal restaurants like Usta Kababgy, plus an H-E-B for groceries.
Residents of Georgian Acres enjoy easy access to multiple H-E-B stores.

Georgian Acres Neighborhood Park is also a common site for community building, with frequent cleanup and beautification events, like a recent gathering to celebrate a newly installed free little library. Residents also have easy access to an Austin Public Library branch behind the Northgate Shopping Center. The nearby rec centers host programs and events as well, such as a community potluck at the North Austin YMCA.

Established ranchers and some new construction
As one of the more established neighborhoods in the fast-changing area, Georgian Acres offers a range of housing styles and ages. “There’s a mix of first-time homebuyers, families and even some investors,” Scofield says. “There’s remodels and resells, but no new construction outside of some condos." Single-story midcentury ranchers are common, many built between the 1960s and late ’80s with stacked stone exteriors, low-pitch roofs and detached carports. They typically price range between $285,000 and $500,000, considerably lower than the neighborhood's newer condos, which typically go for $500,000 to $700,000.
Georgian Acres has new construction homes with modern designs and features.

A major highway interchange next door
Two of the city's most crucial highways run right past Georgian Acres. Interstate 35 — Austin's most-used highway — abuts the neighborhood's eastern edge, while U.S. Highway 183 skirts along the neighborhood's southern edge. The highways intersect at the neighborhood's southeastern corner, which is among the most traffic-prone interchanges in the region. Residents thus contend with the rush-hour noise and congestion that spills into the neighborhood. As an alternative, major roads surrounding the neighborhood have bus stops for CapMetro routes, and the 324 line runs straight through the middle of the neighborhood on Georgian Drive, which also sports a separate bike lane and raised crosswalks for pedestrians.
Public transit is accessible, making Georgian Acres convenient for non-drivers.
Georgian Acres has bike lanes on Georgian Drive, ideal for local cyclists.

Things to consider

The rate of crimes in my area has definitely increased, there have been an increase of cars getting broken into. That has brought the increase rate of police officers in my area, along with overnight security guards. Which makes me feel a little safer but it concerns me that the crime rate has increased in my area.
