Hancock lies directly north of the UT campus and about three miles from downtown.

The biggest green space in the neighborhood is the nine-hole Hancock Golf Course, one of the oldest in Texas.

The course was founded at the end of the 19th century by former Austin mayor Lewis Hancock—the man the neighborhood was named after.
