Granada Hills gives you space in an area closely connected to the city
Granada Hills toes the line between rustic and suburban on Austin's southwest outskirts. The area’s lightly rolling hills cradle a collection of classic ranch-style, contemporary and split-level homes. Spacious lots, often over a half-acre, give the neighborhood a distinct, far-flung feel. Yet residents are right around the corner from Highway 290 for relatively quick drives to downtown and are within a few miles of multiple restaurants, a grocery store and a hospital.

Large lots and a quiet atmosphere define Granada Hills
Granada Hills has a well-established atmosphere, with most homes built between 1970 and 1990. Houses average about 2,000 square feet and come with spacious green lawns, so that you’re not on top of your neighbors. The neighborhood remains almost exclusively residential, while still conveniently located. “The things that my clients that have bought out there like the most about it are three things. No. 1, you’re really close to downtown now. It’s not out of town like it once may have been 50 years ago when they started it,” says local Realtor David Haynes, who’s with eXp Realty and has 24 years of experience in the industry. “And it’s a very well-kept secret. There’s newer subdivisions to the north of it, and to the west of it. But right there, it’s still kind of a secret. They love the fact that all the lots are a half-acre or more. There’s a very sort of ‘mind your own business’ sort of attitude that I find with the homeowners out there.”
Homes in Granada Hills sell for prices anywhere from the lower $500,000s to $1.3 million, based on factors including square footage and condition. HOA membership is voluntary, and the standard annual fee is $210, or $150 for those aged 65 and older.
Most homes in this area are ranch-style options.
Many Granada Hills homes are set back on larger lots with plenty of space between neighbors.

Public and private schools offer varied learning approaches
Kids in Granada Hills can enter the highly rated Austin Independent School District. Gorzycki Middle School is particularly close for grades 6 through 8, about 2 miles away. Extracurricular activities at Gorzycki range from an esports club to a drama club. The district combines neighborhood school assignment with a robust choice system that includes magnet campuses, admissions-based academies and open-transfer opportunities across the district. Admission to many programs depends on application requirements, district policy and seat availability, with lotteries used when demand exceeds capacity.
Austin Waldorf School is a highly rated private option close by. “Some friends of mine, whose children have now graduated from high school, they moved there because of it,” Haynes says of Austin Waldorf. The school serves students from preschool through 12th grade on its 30-acre campus and uses the Waldorf teaching philosophy, which combines elements of the arts, nature, practical skills and more into a robust curriculum. It’s the only accredited Waldorf program in Texas.
Baldwin Elementary School serves young students in the area.
James Bowie High School is about 5 miles away.
