Nestled on the wooded bluffs above Shoal Creek and the Pease Park greenbelt, Pemberton Heights is a residential oasis in the central city often overlooked by motorists whizzing by on Windsor, Mopac, and Lamar. Known as a traditionally toney, old-Austin enclave of stately homes and majestic trees, Pemberton is more than just another upscale neighborhood. While property values ?and taxes ?have skyrocketed since the tech boom of the '90s, Pemberton residents cherish the historic texture and neighborly ambience of the area and are loath to leave it.

Between 1927 to the early 1940s, Pemberton Heights was developed in 12 sections.  Pemberton Heights is a unique subdivision centrally located in Austin.  In its June 1998 issue, Town & Country magazine named Pemberton Heights as one of the 25 Platinum Addresses in the United States.  In 2007, the American Planning Association listed Pemberton Heights (along with the other neighborhoods Old West Austin) as one of its ´great places¡ neighborhoods.
