About Old Enfield
Old Enfield is one of Austin's most historic central neighborhoods, located west of downtown between MoPac Boulevard and Lamar Boulevard, south of 15th Street. The neighborhood was established in the early 1900s and features a notable collection of historic homes spanning virtually every architectural style of the 20th century, from Craftsman bungalows and Tudor revivals to Colonial estates and mid-century moderns, all set beneath a towering canopy of live oaks and pecans.
Homes in Old Enfield range from approximately $700,000 for smaller bungalows to over $3 million for grand estate homes on larger lots. The neighborhood's deep, shaded lots and architectural diversity create a streetscape unlike any other in Austin. Some properties have been meticulously preserved, while others have undergone sensitive renovations that honor the original design character. The proximity to downtown makes Old Enfield one of the city's most in-demand addresses for buyers who value history and walkability.
Old Enfield is served by the Austin Independent School District (Austin ISD). Students typically attend Mathews Elementary, O. Henry Middle School, and Austin High School. Austin High School is one of the district's largest campuses, situated along Lady Bird Lake with strong academic and athletic programs.
The neighborhood's location between MoPac and Lamar provides multiple commute routes, with downtown Austin literally adjacent to the east. Pease Park and the Shoal Creek Greenbelt run through or alongside the neighborhood, providing green space and hike-and-bike trails. The neighborhood is within walking distance of the Clarksville dining and shopping district, the Whole Foods flagship store on Lamar, and the shops and restaurants along West 6th Street.
Living in Old Enfield
Old Enfield offers something that cannot be replicated in Austin: a walkable, historic central neighborhood with grand homes under century-old trees, minutes from downtown on foot. Properties from $700K to over $3M sit on deep, shaded lots with the architectural character — Craftsman, Tudor, Colonial, mid-century — that distinguishes established neighborhoods from new construction.
The daily experience is defined by walkability and green space. Pease Park and the Shoal Creek Greenbelt are at the doorstep. The Clarksville dining district, Whole Foods flagship, and West 6th Street restaurants are within walking distance. MoPac and Lamar provide quick access to the rest of the city, but many Old Enfield residents find they rarely need a car for day-to-day life.
The premium pricing reflects the combination of location, history, and the mature urban canopy that defines this corner of central Austin. Austin High School in Austin ISD serves the neighborhood.
