A 2016 Barton Hills home with solar panels, two Tesla Powerwalls, and average electric bills around $100 a month is rare at any price, and 2902 Cedarview Dr is listed at $2.45 million, or $757 per square foot. At 2902 Cedarview Dr in Barton Hills, buyers get 3,234 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 1 half bath, and a 0.2146-acre lot in one of Austin’s most established close-in neighborhoods.

This is a Residential - Single Family Residence in Austin, TX 78704 with a practical floor plan that fits how people actually live. The main level includes the primary suite plus a second ensuite bedroom, which works well for guests, multigenerational living, or a quiet office setup. Upstairs, two more bedrooms are paired with a loft and a glass-enclosed fitness room that looks out to the greenbelt. The no-rear-neighbor setting matters here. Privacy is hard to find this close to the urban core, especially in Barton Hills.

The efficiency package is a real differentiator. Solar installed in 2024, spray foam insulation, a metal roof, four zoned Honeywell smart thermostats, and battery backup change the cost profile of the house in a way most 78704 listings cannot match. That matters for long-term ownership just as much as the teak floors, quartz counters, oversized island, double ovens, and the sliding glass doors that open the living and dining areas to both front and rear patios. The terraced backyard, covered patio, electric shade, and oversized 2-car garage add daily function, not just visual appeal.

For schools, the home is in Austin ISD, zoned to Barton Hills Elementary, O Henry Middle, and Austin High. Barton Hills carries an 8/10 GreatSchools rating, O Henry is rated 6/10, and Austin High is rated 7/10. That school path is one reason Barton Hills stays in demand with buyers who want central Austin access without giving up neighborhood identity.

From Cedarview Drive, you are minutes from Barton Creek Greenbelt trail access, Barton Springs Pool, and Zilker Park, with South Lamar Boulevard close for dining and errands and MoPac nearby for north-south movement across the city. Downtown Austin is roughly 10 minutes away in typical conditions, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is usually about 20 minutes. In a market where close-in value is tied to location, school continuity, and carrying costs, this home is positioned to hold attention now and 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.
