Pemberton

Town & Country Magazine named Pemberton Heights as one of the 25 Platinum Addresses in the United States. In 2007, the American Planning Association listed Pemberton Heights (along with the other neighborhoods Old West Austin) as one of its “great places” neighborhoods. The four corners of Pemberton Heights, MoPac-Windsor Road-Harris Blvd-29th Street, encompass some of the most amazing tree lined streets and homes in Central Austin. With an active neighborhood association committed to preserving the beauty and history found on these streets, Pemberton Heights continues to stand as a splendid setting for West Austinites in the know. Palatial mansions sit beside cottage-style bungalows and understated privacy is key for this neighborhood.

Old Enfield

The Old Enfield Neighborhood is found between 15th Street and Windsor Road, bordered by Mo Pac and Lamar Blvd. Historic, colonial style homes along with quaint cottages built from 1900-1950 dot the streets of this well known neighborhood. Convenience to the center of town is key, with lots of shopping and amenities nearby. Yet this quiet neighborhood often stands undiscovered despite the diverse architectural styles and attractive homes. The Pease Governors Mansion is the cornerstone of Old Enfield, not to be missed with its expansive, minimalist yard and gardens. You will find a recently renovated Pease Park with playgrounds, open space and a spash pad; host to Eyore’s Picnic every spring. This neighborhood feeds to some of Austin’s finest public schools, yet is very close to many private school opportunities as well (St. Andrews Episcopal, Good Shephard, Westminister Presbyterian Day School, Trinity Episcopal School, St. Austin’s Catholic School).

Clarksville

The Clarksville Historic District is an area located west of downtown Austin near Lady Bird Lake. Many historic homes and structures are located within the Clarksville Historic District and it is geographically part of the Old West Austin Historic District, it is distinct from the two neighborhoods of Old Enfield and Tarrytown. While “Clarksville” subdivision is determined by specific parameters, the area surrounding it is commonly referred to as the “Clarksville Area”. Many European immigrants settled in Clarksville throughout the early 1900’s. Anthony Colanetta settled in Clarksville and opened Anthony’s Laundry and Cleaners at the corner of West 12th and West Lynn in 1950. Colonetta also built a drugstore that he leased to his friend Hylton Nau. Today, buth stores are still operating, and the soda fountain in Nau Enfield Drugstore is a rare find. Indeed, it was during the mid-1970’s that Sledd’s Nursery, with high quality plants and organic philosophy opened their doors, with Jeffery’s fine dining not far behind.
