Saint Edward's Home for Sale

The Saint Edward's neighborhood in Austin, centered around St. Edward’s University, is evolving from a student-centric area to a desirable spot for first-time homebuyers seeking proximity to Downtown Austin. The neighborhood features a mix of duplexes, quadplexes, and single-family homes, including mid-century ranch styles, cottages, and bungalows, particularly along Braeswood Road. Mature trees line the narrow lanes, providing a picturesque setting. Residents enjoy a variety of things to do, with numerous coffee shops, bars, and fast-food restaurants within walking distance, including the popular Cosmic Coffee and Beer Garden. A new three-story H-E-B grocery store is anticipated at Oltorf and South Congress by late 2024, complementing the existing Walmart Superstore at Ben White and I-35. Community events like the annual Festival of Lights and Hillhops craft brewing festival are open to the public. While the neighborhood lacks direct green spaces, nearby Mabel Davis Park and Blunn Creek Nature Preserve offer outdoor activities. The area is served by the Austin Independent School District, with schools like Galindo Elementary, Lively Middle, and Travis Early College High, all receiving high ratings. Downtown Austin is a convenient 5.5-mile drive or a 25-minute bus ride, with two Capital Metro bus stops along South Congress providing easy access.
