At $883 per square foot on a 0.4568-acre lot in 78704, 1805 Brookhaven Dr puts nearly half an acre, a pool, and 3,280 square feet in one of South Austin’s hardest-to-replace locations. In Barton Hills, 1805 Brookhaven Dr is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath single-family residence built in 1973, priced at $2.90 million, and it reached the market just 9 days ago.

What stands out here is the combination of lot size, layout, and location. Nearly half an acre in Barton Hills gives this home real breathing room, which is not easy to find this close to Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool, and the Barton Creek Greenbelt. The house has been substantially reworked for the way buyers live now, with stronger natural light, larger openings to the exterior, vaulted ceilings, and gathering spaces that feel practical rather than staged. The kitchen anchors the main level with a large island, custom storage, and durable work surfaces that make sense for daily use, not just photos. Two fireplaces add flexibility across the living areas, and the fourth bedroom works well as an office or guest space, especially with direct exterior access. A 2-car garage adds useful storage and parking in a part of 78704 where that still matters.

The outdoor setup carries real weight in the value. A pool, updated landscaping, fencing, lighting, and deck space turn the backyard into usable square footage for much of the year. In Barton Hills, buyers pay close attention to whether the land actually improves the way a property lives. Here, it does. The lot supports privacy, outdoor entertaining, and room to spread out without giving up proximity to the city.

For schools, the home is in Austin ISD and assigned to Barton Hills Elementary, O Henry Middle School, and Austin High School. That Barton Hills to O Henry to Austin path remains one of the clearest demand drivers in this section of South Austin. From Brookhaven Drive, you are roughly 5 minutes to Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool, about 10 minutes to Downtown Austin, and close to South Lamar Boulevard, South Congress Avenue, and MoPac for daily commuting. For a buyer who wants land, school continuity, and direct access to the core of Austin, this address lines up with how people actually want to live now and why Barton Hills continues to hold value over time.

Barton Hills is South Austin's Greenbelt neighborhood in 78704, where the Gus Fruh trailhead sits on a residential street and Barton Springs Pool is a five-minute bike ride. Median home price $1.49M. Austin ISD schools, 10 minutes to downtown, direct access to the Barton Creek Greenbelt and Zilker Park.

The housing stock is mostly 1950s-70s ranch homes on generous lots (8,000-12,000 sq ft) with mature live oak and pecan canopy. The terrain is hilly and the streets wind without sidewalks — everyone walks in the road and waves. Some original homes have been updated; others are teardown candidates for new builds. Active listings typically number 5-10 at any given time.

South Lamar corridor runs along the eastern edge — Uchi, Odd Duck, Loro, Matt's El Rancho, and the Alamo Drafthouse at Lamar Union are all within a mile. Zilker Park (351 acres) is the front yard. The Barton Hills Neighborhood Association actively protects the environmental features that make this location work — the springs, the Greenbelt, and the creek.

What defines Barton Hills: trail access from your front door, spring-fed swimming, James Beard Award-winning food a mile away, and a 10-minute downtown commute. The tradeoff is hilly terrain, no HOA-maintained common areas, and older housing stock that may need significant updating.
