About Zilker

Park frontage, springs access and steady demand

Zilker wraps the park and Barton Springs Pool, giving it the shortest walk to green space of any neighborhood south of the river.

Original ranch homes are steadily giving way to modern two-story builds, and lot value carries much of the pricing.

Living in Zilker

Zilker wraps around its namesake park and Barton Springs Pool, with Barton Hills to the west and South Lamar to the east.

The homes

Original 1950s cottages, extensive remodels and a large share of modern rebuilds on premium lots.

Getting around

Walk or bike to Barton Springs, the greenbelt and Zilker Park; downtown is a five-minute drive over Lamar.
