Southwest Austin

Southwest Austin is served by a highly rated section of the Austin ISD and the Lake Travis ISD.

Welcome to Southwest Austin

Southwest Austin encompasses some older, established neighborhoods and many newer developments. It has become an increasingly sought-after living area. As Austin's population continues to grow, the southwest is one of the areas that is growing fast to accommodate new arrivals. Here you'll find large residential neighborhoods and leading master-planned communities with newer houses, parks, hiking trails, and plenty of green space, as well as top schools. Southwest Austin also has the advantage of being relatively close to downtown, to shopping and parks in Barton Creek, and to the lakes.

The quiet residential settings, safe neighborhoods, amenities, and good schools make southwest Austin a popular place for families. In some sections, you can still get large, wooded lots with up-close views of the local wildlife. Southwest Austin was originally considered the outskirts of town and relatively isolated, and some parts are still that way. But as the area's population grows, more supermarkets, restaurants, and stores are spreading through the area.

Southwest Austin is where you’ll see a lot of new growth as Austin continues to expand. In the 1980s and 1990s, much of the growth was south of Austin off MoPac. Today, that area has been pretty well developed (at least up to the Hays County line) and the growth now is happening off Highway 71. Recently, we’ve seen the addition of tons of shopping, grocery stores, restaurants, and businesses along Highway 71 all the way to Highway 620. Southwest Austin is served by a highly rated section of the Austin ISD and the Lake Travis ISD. As such, it attracts those looking for quality schools for their kids.
