The history of the Scofield Farms community provides an important clue as to why this neighborhood is considered to be one of the most coveted in the Austin area. Development of the community began in the 1980s, when a small number of cozy 1200-1600 square foot houses were built. By the early 1990s, building continued with different builders. This new phase of development centered around larger homes of 1500 to over 3500 square feet. By the end of development in the area, D.R. Horton became involved in the project, building high-end townhomes. The result is a well-designed and carefully planned community that offers exceptional choices in real estate. Whether you want a more modest starter single-family home or a luxury townhouse to entertain and raise a…

Today one of the most densely populated urban areas in Austin, Hyde Park actually got its start as a streetcar suburb known as Shadow Lawn. In 1891,

Col. Monroe Martin Shipe developed the area, introducing a large artificial lake and building a home on the former horse track that had been used by the State Fair of Texas earlier in the century. The rich history of the region can be seen in Shipe’s former home, now the The Shipe House and in other museums and historical homes, such as the Elisabet Ney Museum. Although the lake has long since been filled in, the area’s huge trees and historic homes hearken back to the nineteenth century.

If you are picturing Hyde Park as a quaint Victorian area, though, stop immediately. The community is just steps from…
