Welcome to North Allandale Living- Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in one of North Austin’s most beloved neighborhoods, this charming home offers the perfect balance of privacy, community, and convenience. With a thoughtfully updated interior, flexible living spaces, and a spacious backyard retreat, this home is designed for both relaxed everyday living and effortless entertaining. Allandale North is more than just a place to live, it’s a place to belong. As part of Austin’s Living Streets initiative, many nearby blocks are designated “Play Streets,” allowing residents to temporarily close off traffic for up to 12 hours a week on select days. With neighbor approval and city signage, these blocks become car-free zones where kids can play safely and neighbors of all ages can gather, connect, and enjoy the outdoors together. It’s all part of a growing movement to create safe, community-focused spaces where all residents can socialize and thrive. Living here means being minutes from everything. Walk to local favorites like Enchiladas Y Mas, Wooten Park, or Genuine Joe Coffeehouse. Hop in the car and reach H-E-B, The Domain, downtown, or UT in under 15 minutes. Whether you're headed to a fitness class, grabbing groceries, or meeting friends for dinner, you’ll never be far from what you need. Step outside to a private oasis framed by mature trees, colorful seasonal blooms, and an expanded stamped-concrete patio. Enjoy peaceful mornings with coffee in hand or unwind in the hot tub as the sun sets in the distance. With an eight-foot privacy fence and drought-resistant landscaping, this outdoor space is as low-maintenance as it is serene.

Allandale is a mid-century neighborhood in North-Central Austin's 78757, built around the Burnet Road dining corridor and the Shoal Creek trail. Median home price $950K. Austin ISD schools (Gullett Elementary), 12 minutes to downtown, 8 minutes to UT campus.

The housing stock is predominantly 1950s-60s ranch homes on generous lots (8,000-12,000+ sq ft) — big enough for serious yard space, a pool, or a future addition. Some owners have updated; others love the original floor plans. A teardown-and-rebuild wave is underway but slower than in Westlake or Tarrytown. Active listings typically number 10-15 at any given time.

Burnet Road changed everything. Barley Swine, Bufalina Due, Pinthouse Pizza, Yard Bar, and Phil's Icehouse turned this stretch into one of Austin's best dining corridors. Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest Pool (Austin's first Olympic-sized public pool, opened 1956) anchors summer life. Shoal Creek bisects the neighborhood with a trail connecting south to downtown and north to Anderson Lane.

What makes Allandale the value play in Central Austin: lot sizes that rival Tarrytown at half the price, a dining corridor that rivals South Congress, and a commute that's shorter than most suburbs. The tradeoff is Austin ISD (good but not Eanes) and mid-century homes that may need updating.
