Downtown Austin is just 3 miles from the Allandale neighborhood.
Right in the heart of the city
Those moving to Austin for its character and soul will be drawn to Allandale, which despite being in the heart of the city holds on to a strong sense of community. “To me, Allandale is just quintessential older Austin,” says Tiffany Moore. “What people probably think of when they think of Austin — not so much downtown, high rises and things like that. Allandale feels like an area where Austin’s been preserved. It’s right in the middle of everything, there’s so much to do. The houses are gorgeous and it’s also a great place for families.” Its desirability is reflected in home prices, where few houses sell for under $800,000.
Most homes in Allandale have large trees provided shade in the front lawn.
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.

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.
