About North

University

North University, located between The University of Texas at Austin and Hyde Park, is a residential and academic Austin neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a walkable grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Guadalupe Street and West 29th Street corridor, where coffee counters, record bins, taco windows, and late-night study tables set the tempo. Landmark homes and compact apartment buildings mix with classic Central Austin bungalows, giving the streets a layered, lived-in look. The Drag anchors daily routines, while quieter side streets keep a porch-and-sidewalk rhythm. Community pillars include the Texas Memorial Museum, the Harry Ransom Center, and the historic Scholz Garten just to the south.
