These boundaries include the Fairview Park, an earlier suburb associated with the same developers, Blunn Creek running from the west side to the South Congress Avenue. Part of Travis Heights was stranded eastern part of Interstate 35 many of these streets can be found west part of the highway continuing east of it.
Originally conceived as an exclusive district for the wealthy, the adjacent development of Fairview Park was first developed in the late 19th century, but did not really take off. It was not until the 1920s when Travis Heights was developed next to it, that life south of the river was a reasonable venture. Now, with a great mix of mansions, smaller homes, and hip apartments, Travis Heights is among the most desirable residential neighborhoods in Austin. Proximity to South Congress, Downtown Austin, and the major freeways also make Travis Heights one of the best-positioned areas in South Austin.
