McNeil
Backyard pools and side yard gardens
There are four major subdivisions at the corner of Parmer Lane and MoPac Expressway — Northwood, Preston Oaks, McNeil Estates and The Reserve at Northwood. The cul-de-sac streets feature large lots with fenced-in backyards, often big enough for an inground pool. Homes were built between the 70s and 90s but hold value. “Over the years, property values in this neighborhood have shown a positive trend,” Andruk says. “Making it a potentially lucrative investment for homeowners.” Styles range from brick ranch-styles with attached garages to Colonial-revival two-stories, which often include fun colors and side yard gardens. A 3-bedroom will start at around $375,000 and go as high as about $750,000. An occasional mansion estate will pop up on the market, selling in the low to high millions.
Two highly-rated school districts
The neighborhood is zoned to Austin or Round Rock Independent School Districts depending on the location of homes or apartments. The upper portion of the neighborhood is zoned to Round Rock ISD and includes Wells Branch Elementary, scoring a C-plus on Niche; Deerpark Middle, rated B-plus; and McNeil High, rated an A overall. The high school recently was accredited as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. Students living in the lower portion can attend schools in the Austin ISD including Summitt Elementary, Murchinson Middle and Anderson High, which all score an A-minus or higher on Niche.Indoor and outdoor fun for all
Residents have a few nearby neighborhood parks to choose from. The Balcones District Park has a free public pool, trails for hiking and biking, sports fields and courts and a shaded playground. The Yett Creek is a nature park with trails next to the Apple, Inc. campus. In Round Rock, the Play for All Park offers fun and development for children with all abilities. The local Northwest YMCA of Austin serves the community with pools, workout facilities and year-round programs. During baseball season, Round Rock is home to the minor league Round Rock Express at Dell Diamond.
