Nestled in the much-loved Clarksville neighborhood, Park Place is a unique and community cherished for its location. Clarksville is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of the oldest freedman’s towns in Texas, established by Charles Clark in 1871. Landmarks in the neighborhood include the Sweet Home Baptist Church, built around 1880, and the Hezikiah Haskell House, built around 1879. The neighborhood contains historic Victorians converted into bed-and-breakfasts, trendy shops, and popular restaurants. Visit Josephine House, Caffe Medici, Z’Tejas, and Clark’s Oyster Bar. After hours, you’ll find residents at the Mean Eyed Cat honky-tonk or at Donn’s Depot piano bar.

Clarksville’s proximity to Downtown Austin, its location on the river, and the beauty of the neighborhood’s historic architecture and tree-lined streets continue to increase the neighborhood’s popularity. Clarksville begins along the west side of downtown, extending from Lamar Boulevard west to the MoPac Expressway.
