45th to 51st-ish is "North Hyde Park".
Sensitive to this because people also inaccurately call my spot (south of 38th) "Hyde Park" when it's North University.
The housing stock north of 45th falls of precipitously in quality and size. There's a radical and obvious difference (ignore 45th itself of course for obvious reasons).

Ok, fine.
Our vet thinks they're in Hyde Park though - Hyde Park Animal Clinic. They're located at 404 East 51st Street (78751). They've been our vet for 25 years and I always assumed that area was Hyde Park since they always touted it as such. They even have a "Historic Hyde Park" picture on the wall showing the old "Hyde Park" arch with a horse and buggy in the picture. One thing though, their current location is their 2nd one. I'm betting their first location was within Hyde Park. Now that I think about it I remember our vet saying something about them being located on 38th Street. I'll have to ask my mom about that.

That was what I had always thought too. I always used the numbered streets to judge what was "central" and not. 56th Street is the last numbered street in Austin, and it's a block south of 2222. Whenever I'm on a numbered street, it feels central to me. Especially when you realize they start at the river in downtown.

I still think 45th/Airport should be the boundary. I have no problem considering the Triangle North-Central Austin, although right on the boundary with Central Austin. 51st and 2222 certainly seem North-Central to me.

I still think of everything north of 19th Street and south of 2222 (or at the very least 56th Street) as being Central Austin. And actually I had never considered a "North Central" or "South Central". But that term makes better sense. I used to just call them North Austin and South Austin, and anything beyond that was "Far".
I'm a bit of a map hound and would really like to create one using some kind of agreed upon guideline on the boundary lines. For one thing, Emporis has maps for cities, not all of them, but some of the bigger cities have maps of each district and area of the city showing where each neighborhood is located. I'd like to get one made for Austin. It would serve the purpose of showing where all the buildings are located and the different neighborhoods in the city.
