West University / Heritage Austin, TX - West University / Heritage Homes for Sale
The West University neighborhood (which includes the smaller Heritage neighborhood between 29th & 38th) is literally across the street from
The University of Texas. Students and professors make their home here, as do artists, writers and architects - and it's a short walk to campus through the shady, tree-filled streets. Many of the houses date back to the 1910's and 1920's (when men on horseback were reviled for trampling the flowerbeds) and several of the homes have landmark status. The varied and quirky shops on Guadalupe include
Toy Joy, a source of many amusing oddities, and
Buffalo Exchange, where fashions can be bought, sold or traded. Across the street, organic food co-op
Wheatsville has proved so popular that it will soon undergo a major expansion. Diners can walk to nearby
Salvation Pizza or
Boomerang's Pies, then debate between
Amy's Ice Cream and
Gelato's for dessert.
