Heritage, located between Parmer Lane and McNeil Drive, is a suburban and residential Austin neighborhood with a leafy street grid and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Parmer Lane and McNeil Drive corridor, where everyday errands cluster near low-slung shopping centers and steady traffic. Housing leans toward late-20th-century single-family homes with attached garages, mature trees, and wide driveways. Sidewalks and cul-de-sacs shape a quieter, at-home rhythm, while nearby greenbelts add a natural edge. For local culture and a night-out anchor, The Domain and Q2 Stadium sit a short drive away. Daily routines often orbit nearby schools, small playgrounds, and the North Austin commute lanes.

Best described as a Charming Bungalow - this house is a well balanced home built in the 1920’s classic style. As the bookend to the entrance into Heritage, this home is poised & sits behind a white picket fence, under an Elm & Fig tree in full bloom. 2905 is on a site that is shared by two other houses - part of a Condo Regime. The delineation of each individual property is distinctly defined & each has its own yard & fence. Sprinkler Sys:Yes
