1807 Pasadena Dr, Austin, TX 78757

Totally charming classic Crestview bungalow. BIG Spanish Oak in front yard. Renovations from 2016 include combination of kitchen, living room, and dining room into open space with vaulted ceiling. Garage converted to small bedroom at front of house and mud room off of kitchen (bookshelf in kitchen opens to mud room... don't miss it!). Large backyard with outdoor dining and living, as well as a storage shed AND a high-ceilinged shed which artist-owner used as a studio. 1,318 SF in basic house PLUS attached 160 SF air-conditioned studio/home office/closet/storage room off primary suite. Wonderful and walkable Crestview location, just a few blocks from Fresh Plus, Little Deli, Violet Crown Wine/Coffee Bar, and 9-acre Brentwood Neighborhood Park (pool, walking trail, tennis/pickleball courts, and a softball field). A lot to love here!

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.
