1506 Cullen Ave, Austin, TX 78757

Built by Paradisa.

At $589 per square foot, 1506 Cullen Ave brings a brand-new 2026 single-family residence with 3,564 square feet, four bedrooms, four baths, a pool, and a two-car garage to Crestview for $2.10 million. In a Central Austin pocket where updated homes move quickly, 1506 Cullen Ave stands out for its scale, new construction, and 0.2056-acre lot, especially with only five days on market.

This part of Austin, TX 78757 works because it gives you real neighborhood character without giving up access. Cullen Avenue sits close to Burnet Road and North Lamar Boulevard, two of the most useful north-central corridors for daily life. You can get to local staples along Burnet in minutes, from casual restaurants and coffee shops to everyday retail, and Crestview Station adds another layer of convenience for commuting and transit. For anyone balancing work across Central Austin, The Domain, downtown Austin, or major medical and university destinations, this address gives you options without the sprawl of far north or west suburban living.

The home itself fits what buyers are asking for right now in the Austin luxury market: modern construction, a functional bedroom and bath count, outdoor living anchored by a pool, and enough interior square footage to support both entertaining and everyday routines. A four-bed, four-bath layout at this size tends to hold value because it works for a wide range of buyers, from families to executives who need guest space and dedicated work areas. A new build by Paradisa also matters here. In an older established area like Crestview, buyers often pay a premium for avoiding major system updates in the first ownership cycle.

For schools, the draw is clear. The property is in Austin ISD, with Brentwood Elementary, Lamar (Austin ISD), and McCallum High School. That school path keeps the home tied to well-known central Austin campuses that many local buyers already recognize by name. McCallum, in particular, is a strong geographic signal in this part of the city because it anchors demand across several nearby neighborhoods.

From a lifestyle standpoint, you are close to Brentwood Neighborhood Park, Little Deli & Pizzeria, and the everyday rhythm of Burnet Road, while still living on a residential street in one of north-central Austin’s most established sections. For buyers who want new construction in a proven location instead of a speculative edge-of-town play, 1506 Cullen Ave has the kind of positioning that should age well over time.

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.
