Barton Hills blends multiple aspects of Austin into one neighborhood
Barton Hills is a sampling of the elements that make Austin, Austin. This is an area where you can find a house on a quiet, tucked-away block accented by some of the city’s signature oak trees. Those tranquil streets are minutes from busy South Lamar Boulevard, which is known for its long list of places to eat or see a show. Austin’s vibrant outdoor scene also shines in this area. The neighborhood is home to the expansive Zilker Metropolitan Park and part of the Barton Creek Greenbelt, supporting activities from disc golf to hiking. All of it is located right across Lady Bird Lake from downtown.
The Barton Hills neighborhood has a leafy atmosphere, with plenty of oak trees.
Barton Hills is just south of downtown Austin.

A broad mix of home styles and prices in Barton Hills
Barton Hills’ leafy streets accommodate all sorts of houses. You can find a 2020s contemporary-style home next door to a 1970s ranch-style property. There are New Traditional, split-level and Tudor-inspired homes mixed in as well. Still, the area doesn’t feel cramped. “It’s a little more spread out. It wasn’t as densely populated with homes as [nearby] Bouldin Creek and Travis Heights,” says David Haynes, who’s a local Realtor at eXp Realty and has 24 years of industry experience. “It’s got a very laidback vibe. It doesn’t feel as urban as Bouldin Creek and Travis Heights.”
Most of the lots in Barton Hills are at least around one-fifth of an acre. The homes average roughly 1,900 square feet, which is on par with the national average, but slightly smaller than the Austin average of about 2,200 square feet. Sale prices for single-family houses under 2,000 square feet commonly range anywhere from the lower $400,000s to $1.1 million, while larger homes fetch from $1.2 million to nearly $4 million. Barton Hills also has condos, from the mid-$200,000s to the lower $700,000s, with monthly HOA fees from about $200 to over $800. The relatively new Spyglass at Barton Creek complex adds townhouse units priced in the mid-$1 million range. Multiple apartment complexes contribute to a neighborhood population that's over 70% renters.

Trails, outdoor shows and year-round swimming are close to home
Green space is a defining feature of Barton Hills. “I’d say the top attraction for Barton Hills residents, or people looking to purchase there, would be its proximity to the Barton Creek Greenbelt, to Barton Springs Pool and also to Zilker Park,” Haynes says. The greenbelt traces along Barton Creek itself and has a several-mile-long wooded trail. The roughly 350-acre Zilker Metropolitan Park provides access to the trail, and its other amenities include:
Barton Springs Pool, a swimming hole filled by natural springs, whose average temperature of about 70 degrees makes it accessible year-round
Zilker Park Disc Golf Course, an 18-hole course with all par-3 holes
Zilker Botanical Garden, a 28-acre space with a Japanese garden and a rose garden
Danny G. McBeth Recreation Center, a facility that hosts sports and other activities for a variety of ages and abilities
Beverly S. Sheffield Hillside Theater, an outdoor amphitheater that’s home to free plays and other performances from March through October
In addition, Zilker Metropolitan Park has a playground, five sand volleyball courts and multiple picnic areas, with downtown skyscrapers peeking over the horizon. You can hop on the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail here to catch views of Lady Bird Lake, formerly known as Town Lake.
Many people enjoy walking the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail.

Highly rated Austin Independent School District sites serve students in Barton Hills. Some homes are within walking distance of Barton Hills Elementary School. The school has an active PTA that sponsors a cultural arts program, grants for teachers, class gardens, a speaker series for parents and more. “The residents really get invested in the elementary schools nearby,” Haynes says. “You have a lot of really active donations and volunteers, and the parents are all involved.”
Families in Austin ISD can also apply for magnet or admissions-based programs or request a general transfer to another campus in the district. Placement depends on program eligibility, application deadlines, campus capacity and, for general transfers, a lottery process.
