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.

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.

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.

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