About the Pemberton Heights neighborhood

Pemberton Heights is one of Austin’s most beautiful and desirable neighborhoods, earning numerous accolades over the years.  It consists of 640 households known for their mansion-esque quality with open lawns dotted with towering heritage oak trees.  Neighboring Old Enfield is equally charming and historic.  These gracious tree-covered home sites along Pease Park were meticulously planned to provide each home with a unique view of the Austin skyline and surrounding park.  

The close proximity of Lamar Boulevard and Mopac make it simple to navigate to other parts of the city.

History of the neighborhood

Despite its esteemed status, Pemberton Heights was developed in 1927 to the early 1940s from land that was formerly used as a farm.  Originally part of the Pease family's estate just west of Austin, the Old Enfield neighborhood was subdivided in 1910-1915.  Old Enfield has been home to four Texas governors.
