Many Homes in Meadowview are Gabled, Red Brick with Grand Entrances.jpg
Harris Branch is a vision in brick
While there are smaller subdivisions within the Harris Branch neighborhood, each displays large homes with warm-toned brick siding, giving the entire area a red-ochre glow. There is variety in the shades and patterns of brick used, but the consistency of materials gives Harris Branch a cohesive, organized look. “It’s tucked away and quiet, not someplace you’re going to happen to drive through,” says lifelong Central Texas resident and Realtor Nick Pondrebarac. “It allows people an opportunity to live and work close to Austin.” Some of the subdivisions even offer amenities like pools and tennis and basketball courts.
Newly built homes with grand entrances can be found in Harris Branch in Austin, Texas.
Homes with front gables and grand entrances
Home prices usually land around $350,000 to $525,000, although a few newly renovated builds can dip into the $600,000 to $700,000 range. “It’s also a decent place to invest,” Podrebarac says. “And you might find a higher percentage of renters here than you’d expect.” Closest to Route 290, the Meadowview neighborhood features taller homes with steep front gables and grand entrances. Front yards are shallow, but most properties have mature trees that provide shade from the summer sun. Farther north up Harris Branch Parkway, the Lakeview area’s winding streets circle around central cul-de-sacs where homes alternate between slender, tall builds and stocky, short properties. To the east, the entrance to Bellingham Meadows rises like a castle turret. Homes still feature vibrant brick siding, but architectural styles are more uniform with entire rows of Victorian-inspired, front-gabled buildings.
Staying active in the community
Near the intersection of Harris Branch Parkway and East Parmer Lane, a petite, neat grid of houses accompanies a colorful neighborhood playground. Bellingham Meadows is one of the few subdivisions that has its own pool, as well as a soft dirt trail that’s whittled into the grass and winds through young trees, behind rows of homes and around a small pond. On the other side of the community, Harris Branch Neighborhood Park and Amenity Center flank both sides of Farmhaven Road with a pool, tennis and basketball courts to the east and open parkland with a smattering of evergreens to the west.

Try a local loaded Frito pie
The closest grocery store, H-E-B, is just over five miles away. But, right in the neighborhood, Liz’s Grill operates out of a unique general store. Their claim to fame is the loaded Frito pie, which tops crunchy corn chips with steaming picadillo — a thick, fragrant stew with ground beef — and all the classic taco toppings.
Head on Over to the Austin Flea Market For a Fun Time with 300+ Vendors, Concessions & Live Music.jpg
Many flea market vendors to choose from
On the weekends, it’s common for residents to venture south to visit the Austin Country Flea Market, one of central Texas’s longest-running markets. The market has live music, concessions and space for over 300 vendors — from tires and tools to crafts and collectibles.
Locals can enjoy quick access to Parmer Lane and Highway 290.
Commute to Downtown Austin in less than 20 minutes
With limited sidewalks outside of subdivisions and no access to public transportation, Harris Branch is very car-dependent. Via toll road 290, Downtown Austin is about a 12.5-mile or 18-minute drive.
The nearby landfill can be seen from almost any location in the Harris Branch neighborhood.
Important to know
Some residents say the landfill next to the neighborhood is a non-issue while others say that houses closest to it can smell an unpleasant odor. Noise pollution and vultures are also cited as side effects of the landfill.
