Just a few great things about 78746

We want to make sure to be here to take the burden of moving literally off your shoulders. As a moving company 78746 in the Travis County area, we’re proud to serve a very loved and well known part of Austin.

This zip code is made up of the neighborhoods West Lake Hills, Lost Creek, and Rollingwood. The neighborhoods focus on maintaining the natural “hill country” elements of the land, resulting in beautiful overlooks and scenic drives. A must-see overlook in this zip code is the Loop 360 Bridge Overlook, or Pennybacker Bridge. It is well known as one of the best places in Austin to watch the sunset. It’s only a ten minute hike from the parking area but don’t forget your tennis shoes! This zip code also covers a large part of the Barton Creek Greenbelt.

The more adventurous may partake in rock climbing or mountain biking through the many trails and cliffs. If you’re just looking to relax, the Greenbelt has many natural creeks to wade and swim in. You might even come across a rope swing! Austin is very well known for ACL, or the Austin City Limits Music Festival. This festival takes place over two weekends in October in Zilker Park, another fantastic part of this zip code. People travel from across the world to hear bands of all genres, from rap to folk, perform live and sample Austin foods. Top headliners of 2016 included Radiohead, Kendrick Lamar, Mumford & Sons, and LCD Soundsystem.

Barton Creek Greenbelt

When it’s not hosting one of the country’s largest music festivals, this park is full of people sunbathing, playing sand volleyball, enjoying a picnic, or taking their dogs out to run around. In the summer there is a free concert series called “Blues On The Green.” Make sure you get there early to get a parking spot and a good seat! Luckily for some residents of West Lake, this park is within walking distance. In the spring the Austin Kite Festival takes place at Zilker Park. The sky becomes full of kites of all varieties; store bought, hand-made, small, large, you name it. In the winter, the park is lit up for the Trail of Lights, a holiday celebration that is fun for the whole family. No matter what time of year, there is always something to do in the 78746 zip code.

Day Trips from Austin: Best Fun with Kids and Family in Texas

Everyone wants to get away from the city sometimes. In the summer it’s easy. There are plenty of watering holes a short drive from Austin to cool off in. However, in the winter it’s harder to settle on a place to go. Here are a few ideas of places a short drive away that are a great escape for every Austinite.

Dripping Springs: 35 minute drive

Just north of this quaint town is Hamilton pool. Though it’s wonderful in the summertime for a dip, in the winter this natural grotto is a beautiful serene location for a hike or picnic with a beautiful view of the water. If you’re more of a below-ground traveler, consider visiting West Cave Preserve. Once you’re back in town, get a drink or take a tour at Deep Eddy Vodka Distillery, then settle down for dinner at The Pizza Cave, a highly rated Italian restaurant.

Wimberly: 45 Minute drive

This is the place to go if you need to get unique holiday gifts! On the first Saturday of every month, Wimberly hosts the Wimberly Lions Club Market Day. This market has all kinds of vendors, from handmade to vintage to bling tees.  The center of town is filled with cute boutiques and restaurants. For the more adventurous, check out Wimberly Zipline Adventures.

Pedernales Falls State Park: 50 Minute drive

For the outdoorsman, this day trip is perfect. Fill your day with hiking, biking, geocaching, bird watching, horseback riding and any nature activity you can think of.  At the north end of the park, view the Pedernales Falls. This 300 million year old limestone formation used to be completely underwater, but now is available for your exploration. For the kids, check out the junior ranger program.

Gruene: 35 minute drive

Home of the oldest dance hall in Texas, Gruene is a barrel of fun! Hear some real Texas musicians and dance the night away, but not until you’ve spent the day shopping at the many antique shops around town! If you need a drink, get a soda at the General Store, a Gruene classic. You can also try your hand at fishing on the lower Guadalupe River. Gruene is known for its Bed and Breakfasts, so if you’re looking to turn this day trip into an overnight getaway, be sure to consider those.
