Hyde Park was laid out in 1891 between Guadalupe and Duval Streets to run alongside Monroe Shipe's private electric trolley line — making it Austin's original suburb. Its earliest homes were grand Victorian and Queen Anne residences; a major building boom between 1924 and 1935 later filled the neighborhood with the Craftsman bungalows it's best known for today. That mix of historic architecture, mature tree canopy, and proximity to the University of Texas continues to draw buyers looking for character and walkability close to downtown.
