Hyde Park, generally bounded by 38th and 45th streets and Guadalupe and Duval streets, is led by an active neighborhood association that includes a development review committee to help retain the integrity of the neighborhood. The Hyde Park Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, as was its close neighbor the Shadow Lawn Historic District. The districts include Victorian architecture, Tudor revival architecture and craftsman-style bungalows. The walkable neighborhood also includes coffee shops, markets, historic homes and tree-lined streets. Hyde Park residents are often a mix of families, professionals and University of Texas grad students.
