Just some of our favorite and useful or fun sites

Austin is the state capital of Texas, an inland city bordering the Hill Country region. Home to the University of Texas flagship campus, Austin is known for its eclectic live-music scene centered around country, blues and rock. Its many parks and lakes are popular for hiking, biking, swimming and boating. South of the city, Formula One's Circuit of the Americas raceway has hosted the United States Grand Prix.
Residents of Austin are known as&nbsp;Austinites.&nbsp;They include a diverse mix of government employees, college students, musicians, high-tech workers, digital marketers, and&nbsp;blue-collar workers. The city's official slogan promotes Austin as "The Live Music Capital of the World", a reference to the city's many musicians and live music venues, as well as the long-running&nbsp;PBS&nbsp;TV concert series&nbsp;Austin City Limits.&nbsp;The city also adopted "Silicon Hills" as a nickname in the 1990s due to a rapid influx of technology and development companies. In recent years, some Austinites have adopted the unofficial slogan "Keep Austin Weird",&nbsp;which refers to the desire to protect small, unique, and local businesses from being overrun by large corporations.&nbsp;Since the late 19th century, Austin has also been known as the "City of the Violet Crown", because of the colorful glow of light across the hills just after sunset.
In 1987, Austin originated and remains the site for&nbsp;South by Southwest&nbsp;(stylized as SXSW and colloquially referred to as&nbsp;South By), an annual conglomeration of parallel&nbsp;film,&nbsp;interactive media, and&nbsp;music festivals&nbsp;and&nbsp;conferences that take place in mid-March. Emerging from a strong economic focus on government and education, since the 1990s, Austin has become a center for technology and business. A number of&nbsp;Fortune 500&nbsp;companies have headquarters or regional offices in Austin, including&nbsp;3M,&nbsp;Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

Evolving East Austin is a diverse area. Early 1900s bungalows give way to modern condos, while cool cocktail bars mingle with Southern-style eateries, including iconic Franklin Barbecue. In a circa-1841 building, the French Legation Museum documents the Republic of Texas era. Other museums examine the city&rsquo;s musical history and African-American experience. East Cesar Chavez draws hipsters for drinks, art and bands.&nbsp;

East Austin

South Austin is an expansive district of leafy residential suburbs and green spaces like the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, a botanic garden showcasing native Texas plants. Mary Moore Searight Metropolitan Park has hiking trails and a disc golf course. Among the area&rsquo;s several malls is Southpark Meadows, with big-box stores and a cinema, while clusters of eateries include taquerias, BBQ joints, and sushi spots.

South Austin

West and Southwest Austin. This encompasses 20 Barton Creek neighborhoods (not Barton Creek West) as well as other popular areas such as Travis Country, off of Southwest Parkway and many Circle C neighborhoods, Avana, Meridian and Greyrock Ridge, Sunset Valley, Shady Hollow, Oak Hill and Western Oaks. Brodie Lane is a popular area for shopping as well as along William Cannon and Slaughter Lane. This area is served by both Central Austin Independent School District as well as many private schools such as Regents, St. Andrews, St. Michaels, St. Gabriels. Popular destinations are the Lady Bird Wildflower Center along LaCrosse Avenue and the Veloway, and the Austin Zoo just west of Oak Hill.

West and Southwest Austin

Bouldin Creek is a diverse, laid-back neighborhood in touch with the &ldquo;Keep Austin Weird&rdquo; vibe. Quirky shops mix with trendy cafes and old-school Mexican joints. There&rsquo;s also a thriving food trailer scene. A waterfront park, Auditorium Shores, features events at the Long Center for the Arts, plus skyline views and a Stevie Ray Vaughn memorial. Quaint residential areas have bungalows from the 1920s and &rsquo;30s. Bouldin Creek&nbsp;is a neighborhood in&nbsp;Austin, Texas, originally created at the turn of the 20th century. It features several historic homes remaining from that era and countless more from the period of rapid growth in the 1920s and 1930s that followed. Bouldin Creek is also diverse, with a variety of cultures, backgrounds, and architectural styles blending together.
Bouldin Creek is bordered by&nbsp;South Congress&nbsp;to the east, the&nbsp;Union Pacific&nbsp;railroad track to the west,&nbsp;Barton Springs&nbsp;to the north, and West Oltorf to the south. It includes two major commercial areas, South First and South Congress. Given its proximity to these areas, and to&nbsp;downtown Austin, the neighborhood has changed dramatically as result of&nbsp;gentrification.
The neighborhood has several local historical sites including the Victorian mansion&nbsp;Green Pastures, which once belonged to Austinite&nbsp;John Henry Faulk, and the St. Anne&nbsp;African Methodist Episcopal Church&nbsp;(originally constructed in 1916) on Newton Street. In the South First area, the Mexican bakeries, tattoo parlors, art galleries, and unusual shops reflect the changing ethnic and social identity of the neighborhood. Another integral part of the neighborhood is the&nbsp;Texas School for the Deaf. The campus occupies the entire area bounded by South Congress, Elizabeth Street, Barton Springs Road, and South First. Originally created in the mid-19th century, the school underwent a massive renovation and expansion during the early 1990s.

Kyle is a city in Hays County, Texas, United States. Its population was 28,016 in the 2010 census and estimated to be 48,393 in 2019.[6] Kyle is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas The town was established on July 24, 1880, when David E. Moore and Fergus Kyle (for whom the town was named) deeded 200 acres for a townsite to the International-Great Northern Railroad. The new town drew residents and businesses from Mountain City, three miles west, and Blanco, four miles west. Tom Martin operated the first business in Kyle. The community's population exceeded 500 by 1882, but later declined. Kyle was incorporated in 1928 as a general-law city with a mayor and five council members. In 1937, Mary Kyle Hartson, daughter of Fergus Kyle, was elected mayor by a write-in vote. In the early 1940s, Kyle was noted as the only Texas town with an all-woman government. From 1892 to 1901, Kyle was the childhood home of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Katherine Anne Porter. Many of her most famous short stories, such as "Noon Wine", are set in locations in and around Kyle. Her former home is now a writer's residence open to the public by appointment. The Katherine Anne Porter Literary Center hosts readings by visiting writers.

The town of Buda sprang up along the route of the International-Great Northern Railroad, which was extended from Austin to San Antonio in 1880. Buda bore the name of "Du Pre" from its birth in 1881 until the autumn of 1887, when postal officials became aware that another Texas town was also named Du Pre.
Cornelia Trimble platted the town of Du Pre on April 1, 1881, establishing streets and a 150-foot (46 m) wide "Reservation" between the lots and the railroad right of way, which allowed the railroad to place buildings on the parkland, including the depot that would become the lifeblood of the town over the next few decades. Several businesses sprang up, including the Carrington Hotel, which served meals to railroad travelers.
By the time Du Pre found a new name for itself, the Carrington hotel was known as the "Buda House". The "Dupre Notes" column of the Sept. 25, 1886, edition of the Hays County Times and Farmer's Journal notes that "The Buda House is one of the best hotels in the state. The polite and entertaining hostess, Mrs. Carrington, meets all with a courteous welcome." According to the town's oral tradition, "Buda" is a corruption of the Spanish word viuda, or "widow", referencing the widows who supposedly worked as cooks at the Carrington Hotel. Others suggest that like the town of Buda, Illinois, the town name is a nod to the exiles of the failed Hungarian Revolution of 1848 who settled in the area. Buda was incorporated in 1948. By the mid-1980s it had attracted a cement plant and some craft industry.

Dear Kris,
Just a short note to tell you how much Rusty and I appreciate all your help getting the house. We never thought that we could realize our dream of home ownership but you made it all easy for us. Thanks for your guidance and patience in the process of finding what we wanted, securing finance, and closing the deal. We could not have done it without all you hard work on our behalf. We are very pleased with the house and the way it all worked out for which we are forever in your debt. If we ever need a realtor in the future we would not hesitate to call.


We are very pleased with the house and the way it all worked out for which we are forever in your debt!

My wife and I have worked with Kris for years on residential projects around South Austin. She has been instrumental in facilitating our success. Anyone looking for a realtor to work with will find Kris to be a strong and tireless advocate.

When I started looking for my first house, I was very hesitant to decide on a Realtor. After meeting Kris through a friend, we hit it off from day one. I appreciated Kris' sense of humor, her caring nature and love of Austin. I knew I found the agent I was hoping for, and my stress level went way down. Kris helped my friend find a house in short order, but I needed more time to find the right house within my budget. Kris was very accepting and patient with my needs. Her priority was what I wanted, so I felt more and more confident working with Kris.

Kris was always there to give me an option to check into whether it was a townhouse, new housing development or an older house in another neighborhood. I actually enjoyed viewing houses with Kris. It was like an adventure to check things out, and Kris has a keen eye and ear for seeing the good and bad. I was struck by Kris' fondness for food, dogs, nature (esp. trees) and fitness. I love all those things, so I thought this was great. I learned a lot about Austin being around Kris.

I can't imagine finding a better agent than Kris. She handled all the offers and negotiations with aplomb and got me into the house I was searching for. I really respect her business sense and fair play. Kris is very competent and has a winning attitude. I recommend her highly for anyone starting the process or anyone frustrated with another agent. Go see Kris at Eva Street Properties!



Kris is very competent and has a winning attitude!

After my husband died in 1997, Kris Hyatt helped me with the difficult task of locating a house long-distance, since I and my girls were living at the time in Charleston, SC. Kris went out of her way to scope out the neighborhoods I was interested in, and even videotaped prospective houses at a time when that was still somewhat uncommon. In the end, I did purchase one of the houses she showed to me this way, and even signed the papers before I actually physically walked through the doors. Kris was always kind and very attentive to my needs.

Kris Hyatt helped us find our first residential investment property. We could not have asked for better service. On our second weekend, we looked at four properties in a single day. We knew immediately that one of the four was the property for us. That same evening, Kris helped us make an offer to the seller. Kris's rapid, professional, and savvy assistance helped us get the jump on two more offers which came in the next day. Thanks to Kris, we got a jump on the competition and we were able to buy a great piece of property at a very reasonable price. She helped us every step of the way and made sure we got all our bases covered: contract terms, inspections, mortgage company, insurance, all the bases.
We can't thank you enough Kris!


We can't thank you enough Kris!

When my great aunt passed away at the respectful age of 95 and my family was faced with selling her home, Kris Hyatt was much more than a realtor for us. She was a real blessing. Her handling of this transaction was fast, smooth and worry free, all the while Kris being sensitive to our loss and the history of my great aunt's house. My family is very grateful to Kris for her help and support. She gave us more than she had too.



My family is very grateful to Kris for her help and support!

As first time home buyers we needed someone who would really listen to us and do some hand-holding throughout the process. Kris came to our rescue,
armed us with information, and helped us find the home we'd been hoping for within a matter of weeks. She is smart,
energetic, fun to be around, and fights for her clients at every turn.

Kris,

Just wanted to thank you for your all your hard work and determination in selling our duplex. It got a little hairy there for awhile, and I really appreciate your sticking with it even though certain people were hard to deal with!

I'm very pleased that your business is taking off. It's scary to start your own business, but since you were almost working for yourself anyway, I guess it's not as bad. When I see all the crap my employers have to go through though, I'm amazed anyone would want their own business. But since you don't have to worry about employees, (yet!) it can't be as bad.

Having the duplex sold has been a tremendous weight lifted off. Even though I knew it was a heavy load on my mind, I didn't realize how deeply it was affecting me. I am so relieved!

So again, my sincerest thanks for your perseverance to get the house sold. I will gladly recommend your services whenever I can.



I will gladly recommend your services whenever I can!
