LBJ lets you in on an amenity-filled pocket of Austin

LBJ is an eclectic community tucked into a nook formed by the intersection of two of Austin's major highways. Commuters in the neighborhood are close to both the Manor Expressway and the 183 Toll Road, connecting them to key destinations in the metro area from a location within the city limits. But residents don’t need to leave LBJ to access multiple parks, trails, places to eat and a namesake public high school. All are within a couple of miles from the neighborhood’s mix of established and modern homes.

What home styles and prices look like in the LBJ area

LBJ subdivisions like Las Cimas and Crystalbrook feature classic 1970s and 80s ranch-style homes. “It’s very traditional Austin architecture, a lot of classic Austin charm and unique homes,” says local Realtor Sunetra Sutherland, who’s with Allure Real Estate and has several years of experience in the industry. These late-century options are usually between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet, and sell for prices from the upper $200,000s to the mid-$500,000s.

Developments like Northridge Park and East Parke have contemporary- and New Traditional-style houses built in the 2010s and 2020s, and their floor plans are typically at least 2,000 square feet. LBJ’s newer properties sell for prices from the lower $400,000s to the upper $700,000s, with monthly HOA fees under $50. Homes throughout LBJ line lengthy residential blocks, and are connected by sidewalks. Lots range from about one-tenth to one-fifth of an acre.

Namesake school anchors the neighborhood

The highly rated Austin Independent School District serves LBJ. That includes LBJ Early College High School, which is at the center of the neighborhood. The school is named for Lyndon B. Johnson, who represented the Austin area in the U.S. House of Representatives before he was vice-president and then president. LBJ’s Early College High School General Studies Program allows students to complete the first two years of a bachelor's degree for free. Austin ISD students aren’t limited to zoned schools; they can apply to magnet and admissions-based programs or request transfers. Placement depends on program-specific criteria and, for general transfers, a lottery and seat availability. Magnolia Montessori for All is also in the neighborhood, providing a free charter school option for prekindergarten through eighth grade.

Students in grades 6 through 8 may attend Dobie Middle School.

Neighboring highways make getting around Austin simpler

LBJ’s location just east of the 183 Toll Road and just south of the Manor Expressway connects the area to the rest of Austin, while keeping the hustle and bustle of the city’s core at a distance. “You’re located really close to everything the city has to offer, but still enjoying a little bit of the space,” says local Realtor Annaliz Bosquez, who’s with the Phyllis Browning Company and has been in the real estate business for about four years. You can use either the toll road or the expressway to help you reach downtown Austin, which is about 8 miles away. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is a 10-mile trip on the toll road. There are also several CapMetro bus stops in the neighborhood.

Trails, parks and sports facilities give people plenty to do

Multiple recreation attractions dot this area, for a variety of interests. Residents particularly gravitate to places with trails, Bosquez says. LBJ’s choices include:

  • Davis-White Northeast Neighborhood Park, which is an almost 20-acre space with a modern play area for the kids, a couple of basketball courts and a loop trail
  • Big Walnut Creek Nature Preserve, which is a nearly 50-acre spot for a more secluded hike
  • Southern Walnut Creek Trail, which you can access from multiple spots in the neighborhood for 7 miles of adventure
  • Austin Tennis and Pickleball Complex, where you can pay to reserve one of the several lighted courts
  • Noack Sports Complex, an Austin ISD facility with multiple softball and soccer fields that host a variety of youth sporting events

Quick bites, beer and shopping are close to home

You don’t have to venture too far from home to grab a quick bite to eat or a drink. LBJ is home to St. Elmo Brewing Company’s Springdale location, where you can choose from a lineup of over a dozen beers and order from on-site food trucks like:

  • Spicy Boys Chicken, which is known for its chicken sandwiches
  • Pueblo Viejo, where you can get tacos, enchiladas, crunch wraps and more
  • Via 313 Pizza, which specializes in Detroit-style pizza
Tacos Laguna is another food truck in LBJ, where you can start the day with an order of chorizo tacos. You can also make the short drive across 183 to the Springdale Shopping Center, where you'll find familiar chains such as Wingstop, Subway and KFC, as well as stores like H-E-B, Ross Dress for Less and Dollar Tree.
