Building a better community and visiting others
The northern Austin neighborhood of Wooten takes its name from Dr. Goodall Harrison Wooten, a physician who was actively involved in the civic growth of Austin. His efforts such as the purchase and development of land for the Boy Scouts earned him the title of “Austin’s Most Worthy Citizen.” Today, the doctor’s legacy isn’t just carried in name but also in action, as community service opportunities abound in the neighborhood. Beyond this, the neighborhood is desirable for its proximity to shopping centers and other parts of Austin. “When you want a place that’s easily accessible to the city whether you want to get downtown or go to the Domain shopping center, you can’t beat Wooten’s location and the size and style of homes there,” says Suzanne Valentine, a Realtor with Compass who lived in Wooten for 20 years and has sold homes there for 9 years.
The Domain is Austin's premier shopping destination, boasting a curated selection of stores.
In the heart of Austin, a neighborhood comes alive with a diverse architectural tapestry.

Ranch-style homes and more
Wooten has plenty of living options. “There are homes and rentals and some duplexes and apartments on the neighborhood’s edge, so it’s a pretty mixed-use neighborhood,” Valentine says. Three-to-four-bedroom Ranch-style homes with brick facades are the norm. Roads are spacious enough to accommodate parked cars on either side, and traffic is calm enough that many streets don’t have sidewalks. Most ranch homes were built during the ‘50s and ‘60s and go for between $500,000 and $700,000, but fixer-uppers can go for $450,000 or under. There are also modern builds from the 2020s that follow contemporary styles with inspiration from farmhouses; they can sell for anywhere between $700,000 and $1.5 million.
Mid-Century Modern homes are prevalent in Wooten.

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.

Wooten is a great neighborhood. Walkability is good. The neighborhood is gentrifying. With that comes less affordability, but better dining / coffee options etc.

There are train tracks that run behind the houses, but they aren't too distracting.
