The University Hills Neighborhood - Austin, TX

University Hills is a community in the transition process. Its residents are in for the long haul, knowing that the neighborhood will guide other communities going through the same progression when complete. Much like Eliza Doolittle’s transformation in My Fair Lady, University Hills is getting a make-over. Still, the things that genuinely make this retro gem unique are not being covered up or denied their freedom to shine. Instead, this fresh coat of paint seeks to bring out the best in what already exists and add to it rather than take away. Having an urban-suburban mixed feel, with an ample greenbelt and park areas for lovers of the outdoors, University Hills is quiet when it needs to be and delightfully alive at just the right moments.
