At $801 per square foot, 2001 Forest Trl puts a brand-new 2024 single family residence in Tarrytown on the market at $2.58 million, which is a rare price point for new construction in Tarrytown. In just 3 days on market, 2001 Forest Trl is already showing why buyers track this pocket of Austin, TX 78703 so closely.

The home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath, and 3,221 square feet on a 0.159 acre lot in Travis County. That layout hits a strong sweet spot for Austin luxury buyers who want new construction without taking on the size and maintenance of a much larger estate property. The design reads clean and modern, with steel and glass lines balanced by warmer finishes and real hardwood flooring. Large windows bring in steady natural light, and the floor plan keeps the main living spaces open while still giving the bedrooms privacy. Every bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, which adds volume where it matters most. A fireplace anchors the main living area, and the 2-car garage adds practical daily function.

What stands out is how the house uses its footprint. The kitchen sits at the center of the plan, connected to the living and outdoor areas in a way that works for both weeknight routines and larger gatherings. Just outside, there is a grilling area and enough yard depth to consider a plunge pool, which matters in Central Austin where usable outdoor space is often limited. The detached garage has the kind of flexibility buyers ask for now - finished walls, windows, plumbing, epoxy flooring, and wiring for a car charger - making it viable for a gym, studio, office, or future guest overflow.

Location is the other part of the equation. Tarrytown remains one of the most consistent value holds in Central Austin because you are minutes from Downtown Austin, Lady Bird Lake, and Zilker Park, with quick access to Lake Austin Boulevard, Enfield Road, and MoPac. Daily life here means shorter drives to the urban core without giving up the quieter residential character that defines Tarrytown.

For schools, 2001 Forest Trl is in Austin ISD, zoned to Casis Elementary, O Henry Middle School, and Austin High School. That Casis-O Henry-Austin path is one of the best known public school patterns in Central Austin and a major reason families keep this neighborhood on their short list. For a buyer focused on long-term livability, school continuity, a 2024 build, and a proven 78703 location, this address has the fundamentals to hold attention now and value over time.

Tarrytown is a historic Central Austin neighborhood in 78703, five minutes from downtown and bordered by Lake Austin to the west. Median home price $1.95M. Austin ISD schools - Casis Elementary, O. Henry Middle, Austin High - and walkability to Deep Eddy Pool, Lady Bird Lake, and Mayfield Park.

The housing stock spans nine decades. Original 1930s-60s colonials, Tudors, and ranch homes sit alongside new construction and gut renovations on lots ranging from 0.15 to 0.3 acres. Lakefront properties on Scenic Drive and streets near Lake Austin command $4M-$15M+. The neighborhood's character has been protected by an engaged neighborhood association and the McMansion Ordinance, which limits building scale.

Daily life here runs on the water and the schools. Morning laps at Deep Eddy Pool (68-degree spring-fed water year-round), school drop-off at Casis, coffee at Tarrytown Pharmacy or Summer Moon, dinner at Jeffrey's or Josephine House without leaving the neighborhood. The Contemporary at Laguna Gloria and Lions Municipal Golf Course are a walk or short bike ride away.

What makes Tarrytown distinct from other luxury Austin neighborhoods: genuine walkability, a 90-year-old neighborhood identity, and Central Austin access that Westlake and Barton Creek cannot match. The tradeoff is Austin ISD instead of Eanes, and smaller lots than you'd find west of MoPac.
