401 Ridgewood Rd, Austin, TX 78746

Rollingwood is an independent city of 1,500 people in 0.7 square miles of 78746, between Zilker Park and Barton Creek. Eanes ISD schools, 10-minute commute to downtown, and the shortest path into the #1-ranked school district in Texas. Median home price around $2.7M. The neighborhood is in a generational transition. Original 1950s-60s ranch homes on flat lots (0.2-0.5 acres) sell as teardowns at $800K-$1.5M, replaced by contemporary builds in the $2M-$4M range. New construction and original homes sit side by side on narrow streets. At any given time, expect 5-10 active listings across the entire city. Zilker Park is essentially the front yard - 351 acres of playgrounds, the Botanical Garden, Barton Springs Pool, and the Zilker Eagle train. The Barton Creek Greenbelt runs along the southern edge with Spyglass and Gus Fruh trailheads a 3-minute drive from most homes. South Lamar corridor restaurants - Uchi, Odd Duck, Matt's El Rancho - are five minutes east. What separates Rollingwood from the rest of Westlake: the scale. You know the mayor, you see the same families at the park, and the Fourth of July parade runs down Rollingwood Drive. It has the feel of a small Texas town that happens to sit between Zilker Park and Barton Creek, inside Eanes ISD.
