About Rogers Hill
Rogers Hill is a neighborhood in northeast Austin, Travis County, situated east of U.S. Highway 183 along FM 969 (East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard) and Decker Lane. The area falls primarily within ZIP code 78724 and sits approximately seven miles east of downtown Austin. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is roughly eight miles to the south via US-183.
The neighborhood takes its name from Rogers Hill Cemetery, a historic burial ground located at 8600 FM 969 near the intersection of Decker Lane. The cemetery is listed in the Texas Historical Commission's Historic Sites Atlas. The surrounding area has roots as a rural farming community east of the city, gradually incorporated into Austin's expanding urban footprint.
Rogers Hill is adjacent to Walter E. Long Metropolitan Park, the city of Austin's largest park at nearly 3,700 acres. The park surrounds Decker Lake (Walter E. Long Lake), a 1,269-acre reservoir operated by the City of Austin. The park offers fishing, kayaking, picnic pavilions, and disc golf. FM 969 provides a direct route west to the University of Texas campus and downtown Austin, while US-183 connects to the Austin-Bergstrom airport corridor and major employment centers along the highway.
The neighborhood is served by Manor Independent School District (Manor ISD), despite being within Austin city limits. Housing in the area includes a mix of single-family homes on larger lots typical of east Austin, with newer infill development occurring as the area sees increasing investment and attention from the broader Austin market.
