Changes in education and transportation
Established in the 1950s, Skyview is a small neighborhood that’s more secluded and quieter than its neighbors, Highland, Brentwood and North Loop. However, it’s been slowly changing thanks to the Highland MetroRail Station opening on Airport Boulevard and former Highland Mall transforming into Austin Community College’s Highland campus. “The area has been developing because of the community college,” says Ryan Gomillion, a Realtor with Copland Property Group who’s been selling in the area since 2016. “it’s really grown around it.” Still, Skyview is one of the few neighborhoods that has both proximity to Downtown Austin and homes under $500,000.
Skyview offers a serene neighborhood with a picturesque view of downtown.
Skyview offers convenient access to major highways and public transportation.

Alphabetical avenues of bungalows and cottages
Most of the homes on Duval Street and avenues C, D, F and G are original single-story, midcentury bungalows and cottages. Most of the houses were built around 1950, and some of the original owners still reside there. “The homes here get renovated on the inside,” Gomillion says. “But you don’t find a lot of new homes being built on older lots.” When comparing three or four houses side-by-side on any given street, everything from the paint job to porch size and stone or wood-siding facade is a little bit different. A two-bedroom bungalow could go for as low as $445,000 while a fully renovated three-bedroom home on the same street could go as high as $825,000.
Skyview features colorful bungalows with vibrant, eye-catching designs.
Skyview has a mix of historic homes and modern renovations.
