Residents proudly "Keep Austin Weird" in the 78704 zip code while neighborhoods like Travis Heights, Barton Hills and Bouldin Creek reflect highly diverse personalities: you'll discover historic homes next to modern architecture featured in magazines. A progressive, creative, personality-packed part of town, find folks who grow their own food, ride bikes to the neighborhood bar (many of Austin's "it" bars reside on the east side) and enjoy weekend farmers' markets. With a slower pace than downtown–but only a short bike ride away–this delightfully diverse area of kind folks and hip businesses is also growing into one of Austin's favorite places to hang out. Find grocery stores and plenty of shopping and dining, all with a laid-back, neighborhood feel. The landscape starts to subtly change in this historical area, lulling you into a state of tranquility. Homes from Craftsman style to castles are big and beautiful, while five-star restaurants, antique stores, salons, art museums and shops mingle together.
