Austin had Hyde Park which is now squarely in the middle of Central North Austin. It was a traditional streetcar suburb with a line running into UT and downtown. The streetcars ran from the 1890s to the 40s when all the tracks in the city were either ripped up or eventually paved over.

The northern edge of the UT campus is in the bottom left corner.
