Nestled on one of the most beloved blocks in Crestview, 1304 Pasadena is the kind of home that instantly feels welcoming. Thoughtfully designed with both charm and comfort in mind, this home offers a true primary suite—something not always found in the neighborhood—giving you a private retreat to unwind. The spacious, open kitchen and dining area invite laughter-filled meals and effortless entertaining, while the refinished original quarter-sawn white oak floors and fresh paint throughout contribute to the bright, cheerful feel of the home. Wildflowers and drought-resistant native plants adorn the front yard. A newly-built privacy fence surrounds the large, beautifully landscaped backyard, making it perfect for quiet mornings with a cup of coffee or lively gatherings with family and friends. Living here means being just a short stroll from local favorites like Little Deli, Fresh Plus, and Violet Crown Wine & Coffee, with Brentwood Park and Brentwood Elementary just around the corner. With its ideal location and warm, inviting spaces, this home is a rare gem in the heart of one of Austin’s most cherished neighborhoods.

Crestview was Austin's post-war boom neighborhood - built in the early 1950s when GIs came home and needed houses fast. The result is one of the most cohesive mid-century neighborhoods in the city: 1,000-1,500 sqft ranch homes on 6,500-8,500 sqft lots, broad streets, and a layout that predates the cul-de-sac era.

The 78757 zip and the MetroRail station are what set Crestview apart from neighboring Brentwood and Allandale. The Crestview MetroRail stop runs to downtown in 12 minutes and to Leander in 30. Combined with the Lamar/Burnet bus corridor and the bike lanes on Justin Lane, you can live in Crestview without driving most days. That's rare for North Austin.

Original ranches start around $675K. Updated homes with kitchens, baths, and HVAC modernized run $950K-$1.3M. New builds and major renovations push $1.6M-$2.2M. The teardown rate has accelerated since 2020 but the neighborhood association has been active in protecting the streetscape.

Burnet Road is the food and shopping spine: Little Deli & Pizzeria, Texas French Bread, Phoebe's Diner, Yard Bar (with the dog park), and the long-standing Top Notch Hamburgers all sit within a mile. Lamar runs north to the Domain and south to downtown.

Schools serve Austin ISD: Brentwood Elementary, Lamar Middle, and McCallum High School with its Fine Arts Academy program. The Brentwood Park pool and tennis courts are shared with neighboring Brentwood. Wooldridge Square sits at the southern edge.

Best for buyers who want walkable urbanism, transit access, McCallum zoning, and an original 1950s house they can renovate or rebuild.
