About MLS Area 6 - Bouldin/Travis Heights

Travis Heights, Bouldin Creek, South Lamar, and Galindo form one of the most walkable areas in all of Austin. Barton Springs Pool is a five-minute bike ride. South Lamar's restaurant and bar scene rivals any street in the city. Bouldin Creek has become a destination neighborhood with bungalow-to-modern teardown-rebuilds pushing well into the $2Ms. Zilker Park and the Hike and Bike Trail are essentially your backyard. Galindo offers slightly more affordable entry on the south end. Close to everything without needing a car for daily life.

“MLS areas are how agents actually track micro-markets in Austin. Area 6 covers Travis Heights, Bouldin Creek, South Lamar and 1 more neighborhoods. Understanding these boundaries gives our clients a pricing edge that general ZIP code data can't match.”

- Joe Keenan, Keenan Group at Compass
