Pemberton Heights, Austin, Texas

In the late 1800s, what is now the neighborhood of Pemberton Heights in Austin, Travis County, Texas, was a farm owned by Attorney General John Woods Harris.

In 1927, the company built a bridge across Shoal Creek and began developing the area, which was originally outside the Austin city limits.

In its June 1998 issue, Town & Country magazine named Pemberton Heights as one of the 25 Platinum Addresses in the United States.

[6] In 2016 the Pemberton Heights Neighborhood Association and the City of Austin formed a partnership in an effort to formally create a park in the half-acre green space found at the intersection of Hartford Rd, Jefferson St, and Ethridge Ave (1602 Ethridge Ave).

In 1927, the Austin Development Company acquired the property and used it as the sales office for the new Pemberton Heights subdivision.
