French Place is a small, triangular shaped neighborhood located in Central Austin east of IH 35, and north of Manor Road. the northeastern boundary is Airport Blvd. It is a very sought after hip pocket that people simply adore.

French Place Area
I love French Place because I love old homes AND my Mom’s and Grandma’s house was nearby, west of IH 35 at 608 Texas Avenue just off 38 and 1/2 and Montrose near the old Hancock Golf Course. I have many fond memories of this area including being taken for a pretty dress at Hancock Center in the 1960’s. There was also a Swedish tamale lady that sold tamales out of her home on 38th and a 1/2 west of IH 35 and west of Hancock Golf Course. The old historic Oakwood Cemetary nearby just south of MLK is the oldest city owned cemetary in Austin.
