Water lilies and lotus grow in the ponds, which the City describes alongside koi, turtles and visiting herons. The first peacocks arrived as a gift in 1937; they are part of the site’s documented garden history.[1]
The property passed to the City in 1971. The historic cottage, garden rooms and wider park landscape offer different ways to experience that legacy without assuming all areas operate identically.[1]
No. The City dates the first peacocks to a 1937 gift to the family, decades before the property became a public park.[1]
No. Postal ZIP codes organize mail delivery. Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas are generalized statistical geographies, and neither should replace a neighborhood boundary or a specific park entrance.[2]

A ZCTA approximates the USPS delivery area — it is not the ZIP code itself, and nothing on this site assigns data to a ZIP using it. Restaurant points are geocoded on the Austin Public Health inspection record (dataset ecmv-9xxi). Bars are not plotted: the Comptroller publishes no venue coordinates, so they are listed below instead.

Austin Public Health has scored 1,120 inspections at 121 facilities in ZIP 78703, averaging 90.2/100. Of those scored visits, 681 scored 90 or above, 382 scored 80–89 and 57 scored below 80. The average weighs every visit rather than every restaurant, so a facility inspected more often counts more toward it. Austin Public Health publishes in irregular batches with weeks of lag.
Counting each of the 121 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 93/100, 77 currently sit at 90 or above, and 13 are below 80 (10.7% of them). That is a different measure from the visit counts above, which weigh a frequently-inspected kitchen more heavily.
5 of 121 inspected facilities. Ties are common at 100, so this is a slice of the top, not a ranking of the ZIP.
The 5 most recent of 13 facilities in 78703 whose last scored visit came in under 80.
A score under 80 records what one inspector found on one day. It is routinely corrected at the next visit, it is not a closure, and it is not a statement about the food. Open a facility to see whether its next inspection has already landed.

78703 has 24 bars and restaurants reporting $2,718,278 in mixed-beverage sales in August 2026, per Texas Comptroller TABC data — #5 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. That is 4.0% of the $68,286,880 reported across every Austin-area ZIP for the same month.

Only businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit file these returns, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants, coffee shops and every unlicensed kitchen in 78703 are absent from this count entirely. “Top” here means alcohol receipts reported to the state, not quality or popularity. A venue that closed keeps appearing until it stops filing, and August 2026 is the most recent month the Comptroller has published — not the current one.

1 City of Austin neighborhood planning area has a boundary containing the centroid of ZIP 78703. These two geographies do not nest. A planning area can straddle several ZIPs and a ZIP can cover parts of several planning areas, so read this as “overlaps”, never as “78703 contains” or “is inside”. The test here is a single point — the ZIP’s centroid — so a planning area covering the edge of 78703 but not its middle will be missing from this list.
Boundaries: City of Austin neighborhood planning areas. Overlap is computed by point-in-polygon against each ZIP’s centroid, which is a coarse test and is the reason this list is short.
This site publishes no economic figures at ZIP level — no ZIP-level income, employment or business counts are held here, and none are estimated from county numbers. What follows describes Travis County, the county ZIP 78703 sits in (100% of its 311 requests carry that county). A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat these figures as the surrounding context, not as a description of 78703.

Across Travis County, Austin 311 has recorded 581,018 service requests spanning 61 ZIP codes, closing half of the last 12 months' requests within 25 hours. That corpus is City of Austin 311 only, so it counts requests made to Austin at addresses in the county — a meaningful figure for Travis, a partial one anywhere Austin is not the service provider.

ZIP code 78703 is in Austin, Texas, in Travis County. On this site it is grouped under Central Austin. City of Austin neighborhood planning areas whose boundary contains the 78703 centroid include West Austin Neighborhood Group. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.
This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any Austin ZIP code, so it cannot answer that question and does not try to. What it can tell you is what residents reported and what the city acted on: 9,256 311 service requests were filed in 78703 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 1,248 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 66 of those are still open. Report counts are not a safety rating and should not be read as one: a ZIP that files more 311 requests may simply have residents who report more, and a code complaint is an allegation the city has not necessarily upheld.

341 311 service requests in ZIP 78703 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 324 open and 17 in progress. Residents filed 9,256 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 778 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.
Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78703 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 27 hours, and nine in ten within 12 days. That is 2.3 hours slower than the citywide median of 25 hours. Both figures are computed the same way — median hours from opened to closed, over requests opened in the same 12-month window — which is what makes comparing them meaningful. A median describes the middle case, not the worst one. Source: City of Austin 311, dataset xwdj-i9he.
Austin Code has opened 1,248 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78703, of which 66 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 6.0 days to resolve. 2 cases are flagged as related to Austin's Repeat Offender Program for multifamily properties. A code case records an allegation that was investigated, not a finding of wrongdoing, and this site publishes no case addresses. Source: City of Austin Code Cases, dataset 6wtj-zbtb.
Austin Public Health has scored 1,120 inspections at 121 distinct facilities in ZIP 78703, averaging 90.2/100 across those visits. That average weighs every inspection equally, so a restaurant inspected more often counts more toward it. Austin Public Health publishes in irregular batches with weeks of lag, so the newest score on file is not necessarily from this week. Source: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78703 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 93 out of 100 across 121 facilities. 77 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 13 at their last visit came in below 80 — 10.7% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include Starbucks Coffee #6227 (100), O' Henry Jr High School (100), Casis Elementary School (100). This counts one score per restaurant, not one per visit, so a frequently-inspected kitchen does not pull the figure on its own. A score grades a single inspection on a single day against a checklist — it is not a rating of the food or of the restaurant, and a low score is routinely corrected on the next visit. Newest inspection on file in this ZIP: August 20, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
24 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78703 for August 2026, totalling $2,718,278 in alcohol receipts — #5 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were JEFFREY'S RESTAURANT & BAR/JOSEPHINE HOUSE ($383,186), HOWARD'S / ROSIE'S ($276,774), DEEP EDDY CABARET/POOL BURGER ($267,727). "Top" here means alcohol sales reported to the Texas Comptroller, not quality, popularity or crowd — and only businesses with a mixed-beverage permit file at all, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants and coffee shops are absent entirely.

No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78703 sits in Travis County, where unemployment was 3.9% in July 1, 2026 with a labor force of 877,417. A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat this as context rather than a description of 78703.
