2700 Park View Dr, Austin, TX 78757

This is the Allandale charmer you have been waiting for situated on a wonderful street in one of Central Austin's most sought-out neighborhoods. With its five bedrooms, tasteful updates, spacious lot, and backyard oasis that features a sparkling swimming pool, an offering like this only presents itself every 4-5 years in this community. Its spacious kitchen features plenty of cabinet space, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a charming breakfast bar just off of the kitchen. The primary bedroom is quite spacious, as is the primary bathroom with its large soaking tub and walk-in shower. The backyard truly feels like a sanctuary, with its towering palm trees, the multiple outdoor entertaining and sitting areas, and its crystal blue water. With its strong sense of community, Allandale is one of Central Austin's premiere neighborhoods due to its award-winning schools like Gullett Elementary, nearby parks and trails, and its close proximity to popular restaurants, coffee shops, The Domain, UT, Downtown Austin, the Q2 Stadium, and more!

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.
