About Hyde Park

Hyde Park is the grid between 38th and 45th on either side of Duval and Speedway, and it is Austin's oldest planned suburb — pecan-shaded streets, Victorian and craftsman houses, many of them long since split into two- and three-bedroom rentals or garage apartments. Because the housing is converted rather than purpose-built, room sizes vary wildly inside the same apartment, so it is worth asking which bedroom you are being offered before you agree on a rent split. Avenue B and Avenue G have the most house shares; the blocks near Guadalupe are mostly small apartment buildings.

Getting to work from Hyde Park

UT's main campus is a 15-minute walk or 5-minute bike ride from the south end, which is the single biggest reason Hyde Park stays in demand. The 7, 803, and 5 buses run down Duval, Guadalupe, and Speedway into downtown in about 20 minutes, and the neighborhood is flat enough that most residents bike everywhere inside it.

Who shares apartments here

UT grad students and postdocs, professors, medical staff at the nearby clinics, and career renters who have been in the same house for years. Noticeably quieter and older than West Campus a mile south — people here are not looking for a party house.

The trade-off

Houses are old: expect window units or an ageing central system, minimal insulation, and a landlord who defers maintenance. Street parking is permit-only on many blocks and there is no grocery store inside the neighborhood beyond the Fresh Plus on Duval. If you want a newer unit for the same money, Mueller or North Loop are the trade.
