2601 Clear Cv, Austin, TX 78704

Perched on a hillside in one of Austin’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this classic 1970s split-level Barton Hills home offers 1,862 sq ft on a generous 0.34-acre lot. With vaulted ceilings in the living room, a backyard koi pond, and plenty of character, it’s a property full of potential—whether for a remodel or a brand-new build.

The location is unbeatable: steps from the Barton Creek Greenbelt and hike-and-bike trails, minutes to Zilker Park and Barton Springs, and close to South Lamar dining, entertainment, and downtown Austin.

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.
