At $678 per square foot in Barton Hills, 2500 Cedarview Dr puts a 2016 single family residence in the heart of Austin 78704 for $2.13 million. That matters because 2500 Cedarview Dr sits in one of the few close-in neighborhoods where you can still get modern construction, a usable 0.2365-acre lot, and quick access to both Downtown Austin and the city’s best outdoor anchors.

This is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home with 3,149 square feet, a 2-car garage, and a layout that fits how buyers in Barton Hills actually live. The primary suite on the main level is a real advantage. So is the extra first-floor bedroom, which can work as an office, guest room, or long-term flex space. Upstairs adds two more bedrooms and a second living area, which gives the house separation without wasting square footage on formal rooms that rarely get used.

The lot is large enough to create privacy, but still manageable. That balance matters in 78704, where many buyers want outdoor space without taking on oversized maintenance. The corner positioning and side-entry garage help the home read cleaner from the street. Inside, the open kitchen and living areas are built for daily function first, not just show. High-end appliances, a walk-in pantry, covered patio access, and strong natural light all support that. The solar setup, battery backup, EV charger, and smart electrical panel also set this property apart from older Barton Hills inventory, where buyers often need to budget for efficiency upgrades after closing.

For schools, the home is in Austin ISD with Barton Hills Elementary, O Henry Middle School, and Austin High School. That school path is one of the clearest location signals in Central Austin. Barton Hills Elementary is a major draw for buyers targeting this part of South Austin, and Austin High keeps the property tied to one of the city’s most established public high school communities.

From this address, you are close to Zilker Park, Barton Creek Greenbelt, and the South Lamar corridor, with Barton Springs Road and South Lamar Boulevard giving you fast routes to restaurants, coffee, and everyday services. This pocket of Barton Hills continues to hold attention because it offers the mix buyers want most in Austin luxury real estate: modern livability, strong neighborhood identity, and land value in a close-in location that should stay relevant for years.

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.
