Overview

Zilker and Barton Hills sit south of Lady Bird Lake, around the park and the greenbelt, mostly reached through 78704. Buyers are often paying for the park, the trail, and a south-central location. Not every 78704 listing is Zilker.

Housing includes mid-century houses on the hills, smaller infill, and some condos. The public land is the part anyone can use without buying a house.

Things to do

Barton Springs Pool
The spring-fed pool in Zilker Park, open to the public for a small fee.
Zilker Park
The large city park between the pool, the lake, and Barton Springs Road.
Barton Creek Greenbelt
Trails and swimming holes upstream of the pool, starting from trailheads near the park.

Restaurants

Shady Grove
A long-running restaurant on Barton Springs Road, across from the park.
Barton Springs Road
More kitchens and food trailers line the road between Lamar and the pool.

Zilker buyers are paying for the park, the trail, and a south-central location that still works on a Saturday. That does not mean every 78704 listing is Zilker, and we will not pretend it is.

Infill, condos, and houses on tight lots all show up here. We treat it as a sales market: what closed, what the lot can do, and whether the asking price assumes a 2021 buyer who is not coming back.
