Allandale
Neighborhood Reviews
Homes in different styles and phases
Allandale is primarily a residential neighborhood consisting of ranch-styles, bungalows, Craftsman homes and new modern builds. “The older ranch-style homes were all built probably between the 50s and the 70s,” Moore says. “They are all going through some kind of renovation stage. Some are just complete time capsules and have never been touched. Others have been completely torn down and houses are built on that land.” The homes here tend to sit on larger lots with mature trees shading the sidewalks. A 1-bedroom 600 sq ft condo will start around $250,000. A newly built 5-bedroom home could go as high as 3 million.
A-rated schools in Austin ISD
Students are zone for the Austin Independent School District. Students begin their education at Gullett Elementary or, for the southernmost portion of the neighborhood, Highland Park Elementary. They then graduate to Lamar Middle and McCallum High — ranked the 10th Best High School for the Arts in Texas. All schools receive an A-minus to A overall score on Niche.
Parks for swimming and sightseeing
The neighborhood has plenty of green spaces to explore. “Within Allandale, there’s a few different little parks tucked into the community,” Moore says. Shoal Creek runs through the center of Allandale and can be viewed at Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest District Park along with native wildlife and plants. The outdoor pool there is seasonal, but the tennis and basketball courts are open year-round. Residents can visit the Northwest Recreation Center for a basketball game or to visit the fitness studio. Outside there are playscapes, fields, horseshoe pits and picnic tables.
A bustling street bordering the neighborhood
Bordering the east side of Allandale, Burnet Road is lined with many of Austin’s best vintage stores, boutiques, cafes, bars and restaurants. There’s a wide range from casual spots like Top Notch Hamburger to Asian-fusion fare at The Peached Tortilla. “Pint House Pizza is one of Austin’s flagship breweries,” Moore says. “The location on Burnet has lots of families there and they have little video games. It’s a fun spot.” Along the same road, residents can grocery shop at H-E-B or the Walmart on the other end of the neighborhood.
Walkable with easy access to MoPac
Thanks to its location, Allandale is one of the more walkable neighborhoods in Austin. “Because everything kind of runs off of Burnet Road, you can find a coffee shop within about a 15-minute walk,” Moore says. Allandale residents also enjoy easy access to the rest of the city via MoPac on the west and Route 2222 running through the neighborhood. Downtown is just a few miles south, and South Congress and Travis Heights just beyond the Colorado River.
Celebrating holidays with your neighbors
The community is close-knit, with an active neighborhood association that organizes a range of projects and events on a regular basis including neighborhood garage sales, park cleanups and holiday parades. The biggest is the annual Fourth of July parade, an event that draws out the whole community, which has been a cherished tradition since 1960.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Niche Review
The neighborhood is changing for the worse. Vagabonds and even prostitutes hang out on the street corners. A few weeks ago, I was parked outside the Taco Bell on Burnet and Anderson, when a big, unkempt, rough-looking man slammed my window with his fist and demanded that I give him money. The neighborhood is on the decline.

Niche Review
Seems to be an increase in vandalism and home burglaries but police are responsive and neighborhoods working together to monitor and report crime.
