Every size and every style of home, Tarrytown is home to many of the city’s prestigious politicians and business folk, demonstrating its sense of privacy. Also family-friendly, the West Austin Youth Association, is a neighborhood gem providing an array of sports activities for area youth. In Tarrytown, shady streets surround you and quiet is the collective state of mind.
