Suburban streets meet lofty hills and convenient amenities in Jester
Jester is perched in the distinct Hill Country terrain of northwest Austin, where some of the slopes are so steep they’re no joke. The setting blends modern suburbia with the city’s rugged outskirts, featuring wide neighborhood streets and New Traditional-style homes that offer scenic views of the surrounding area. Residents are close to recreation options ranging from a private neighborhood club to secluded public trails, and kids are minutes from highly rated schools. You can also find multiple restaurants and a grocery store in the Jester Village Shopping Center, located at the bottom of one of the neighborhood’s hills.
Jester sits on a hill overlooking downtown Austin.
New Traditional-style homes are very common in new builds in Jester.

Typical home styles, sizes and prices in this area
Single-family homes built from the 1970s through the 1990s make up most of the Jester area, organized into subdivisions such as Jester Estates and Jester Point. The area's topography plays a big role in its appeal. Many houses sit on elevated lots, with views of the Hill Country. “When people are looking to move to this area, this is what they’re looking for,” says Mason Bleasdell, a local Realtor for Mark Martin and Company with about eight years of industry experience. “Families come here because of these beautiful views and the excellent schools.”
Ranch-style homes are common, as are New Traditionals. Floor plans average about 2,100 square feet, which is slightly smaller than the Austin-wide average of about 2,200 square feet. The properties under 2,000 square feet typically sell for prices from the mid-$500,000s to the mid-$600,000s, while homes larger than that range anywhere from the upper $600,000s to nearly $1.5 million. Condos and townhouses in Jester typically sell for prices from the lower $400,000s to the mid-$500,000s, with monthly HOA fees between $300 and $500.
