Sendera
Contemporary homes with great curb appeal
Slaughter Lane splits Sendera and Sendera South, but residents of each subdivision have access to all of the amenities. “They all use the same community pool and amenities, but they’re just separated by that main road,” says Lori Anne Goto, a longtime resident of Austin and founder of Encore Real Estate. Contemporary brick homes file along sidewalk-lined roads, with mature trees adorning manicured front lawns. Home prices in the community tend to range between $500,000 and $760,000, with some rental properties mixed in. “The prices have gone up since they first started construction. But I like to tell people, when you’re buying in Austin the prices are always going up,” Goto says.

Texas 1 Loop and the MoPac Expressway provides commuting convenience
“The location’s great because you’re right by the freeway,” Goto says. Proximity to MoPac is a big draw for many residents as it allows easy access throughout the Austin area. Downtown Austin is around 11 miles from Sendera and easily accessible from the Texas 1 Loop. Residents tend to drive to get around as there isn’t much public transportation around. However, the neighborhood itself is very walkable. “There’s some walkability with the houses in Sendera. You can walk to some of the stores and restaurants on Slaughter Lane. Some are also really close to the schools,” Goto says. Residents can use the MoPac to get to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, which is about 6 miles away.Austin ISD schools are a draw for parents
Public schools in the Austin Independent School District are all within three miles of Sendera and are a big draw for parents looking to move to the area. Kids start at Cowan Elementary which received a B-plus grade on Niche. Cowan Elementary offers various after-school programs ranging from martial arts to a soccer club and a dance club. Students will then attend Covington Middle School, which also has an overall B-plus Niche grade and offers a dual language program and a Creative Learning Initiative, which institutes arts and creative learning across the core subjects. Bowie High School has an A Niche grade and a student-teacher ratio of 17-to-1.

Miles of nature trails at Circle C Ranch Metropolitan Park
The Sendera community is surrounded by green spaces, including the neighborhood’s namesake park, where residents can go for a quick afternoon outing to a nature walk along the Sendera Norman Trail Park. Circle C Ranch Metropolitan Park, about 2 miles away, has an 18-hole disc golf course that challenges players of all skill levels with several elevation changes and a challenging final hole. The park has nearly 6 miles of multi-use trails and is notably home to the Veloway, a 3-mile-long bicycle tract open year-round.

Happy hour at District Kitchen and Cocktails
Many of the area’s restaurants and shopping centers are along Slaughter Lane. Backspin Texas Sports Bar & Grill is within walking distance for some residents, serving as a welcome spot to watch any games during the week with heaping plates of pub grub. The happy hour crowd tends to gather at District Kitchen and Cocktails, which serves American fare and craft drinks. H-E-B is also a mile from the neighborhood.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
