A 2025-built, 4,360-square-foot home with Barton Creek Greenbelt views and a pool is still rare in 78704, and 2603 Rockingham Dr brings that package to Barton Hills at $2.75 million, or $631 per square foot. At 2603 Rockingham Dr in Barton Hills, this is a true Austin single-family residence with the scale, finish level, and location that buyers chase when they want new construction without leaving central Austin.

The setup works for real daily life. You have 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath, and three levels that separate private space from entertaining space. The main living areas get strong natural light through large windows, and the floor plan stays open without feeling exposed. The kitchen is built for regular use, not just show, with efficient appliances and direct connection to the main gathering areas. A dedicated office at the front of the home matters in this price range, and the primary suite on the entry level gives owners privacy that is hard to find in multi-story new construction. The bath layout, soaking tub, custom closet, and attached utility access all speak to convenience. Upstairs adds secondary bedrooms, another living area, and a wet bar. The third-floor flex space and terrace make the most of the Barton Creek Greenbelt outlook.

The lot is 0.2513 acres, which gives the outdoor space real function. The pool creates a strong backyard anchor, and the 2-car garage keeps the footprint practical for Barton Hills. One fireplace adds a focal point indoors without overcomplicating the design. This part of Austin works because you are close to places people actually use every week. Barton Hills Elementary is nearby, and the home feeds to Austin ISD schools Barton Hills, O Henry, and Austin High. Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool, and the trails around Barton Creek Greenbelt are all part of the lifestyle here. South Lamar Boulevard, Barton Springs Road, and Mopac make it easy to move between downtown Austin, South Congress, and major employers in the urban core.

For buyers who want a new 2025 home in Barton Hills instead of a remodel project, the value case is clear. You are getting modern construction, a pool, greenbelt influence, Austin ISD access, and a central address in one of the city’s most durable neighborhoods. That combination should continue to matter as 78704 land gets tighter and demand for move-in-ready homes stays strong.

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.
