Southwest Austin

Hill country space, city convenience

Southwest Austin runs from the Barton Creek Greenbelt out past Oak Hill toward Dripping Springs, framed by Mopac, Highway 290 and Brodie Lane.

Housing is newer than central Austin: 1990s and 2000s family homes, master-planned communities with pools and trail systems, and custom builds on wooded acreage the further west you go.

Buyers come for square footage, yard space and schools, and stay for greenbelt access that is genuinely at the end of the street.
