Skyview Homes for Sale

Skyview, a small neighborhood in Austin, offers a quieter and more secluded living experience compared to its neighboring areas of Highland, Brentwood, and North Loop. Established in the 1950s, Skyview features original single-story, midcentury bungalows and cottages, with many homes retaining their unique facades while undergoing interior renovations. The neighborhood has seen gradual development, particularly with the opening of the Highland MetroRail Station and the transformation of the former Highland Mall into Austin Community College’s Highland campus. This proximity to the community college has spurred local growth, including the arrival of 24/7 Bennu Coffee Highland, Paris Baguette bakery, and The Brewtorium Brewery and Kitchen. Essential amenities are conveniently located, with an H-E-B supermarket less than 3 miles away on Burnet Road and the Mueller Retail Center about 2 miles away. Skyview is served by highly rated schools such as Lamar Middle and McCallum High, the latter known for its Fine Arts Academy despite some issues with its older building. The neighborhood also features Reilly School Park and Mustang Button Park, providing playgrounds and recreational spaces for families. Residents benefit from the low crime risk compared to the national average, enhancing the neighborhood's appeal. Commuting is facilitated by the light rail, offering an alternative to Austin’s congested highways, while Koenig Lane provides direct access to major routes like Mopac Expressway and Interstate 35.
