What part of Austin is 78752?

I'm moving to Austin TX july 1st into the zip code 78752. Is there a name for this part of Austin? I would love to do more research on this particular part of town, but it's harder that I thought. Can anyone help me out here?

Feel free to give me any information you have on this particular zip code or the city in itself. I appreciate it:)

    Hey that's my neighborhood! It's called the Highland Neighborhood.

    Here's what we have that is great:

    * A commuter rail station that goes downtown and back during commuter hours, and occassionally on weekends during events.

    * A terrific bike line that goes all the way to the University of Texas in about twenty minutes

    * Some fantastic restaurants, it seems a lot of asian restaurants, but fantastic

    * The intersection(s) of I-35 with 183 and 290 - meaning quick access to downtown, the suburbs, and beyond.

    * A transitioning population - from mostly retirees ten years ago to now mostly young parents of toddlers

    * Housing that is both affordable and "urban"

    And the not-so-great

    * Four strip clubs in one zip code is a bit much... although the Yellow Rose is a national landmark

    * The crime rate is higher than the rest of the city. However we don't have a lot of violent crime in Austin. I'm talking about petty ****, like people ripping up your entire dashboard just to get your $40 after-market stereo.

    * Highland Mall is 90% empty now. It has changed hands a few times. ACC (Austin Community College) is the current property owner, however they do not have any plans to move in yet.

    And the truly awful

    * The schools. If you have kids, get in line as soon as it opens to send them to another school in the district.
