6700 Vine St, Austin, TX 78757

Best and final deadline Wednesday 10/1 at 5:00 pm. For the first time in 51 years, one of the premiere lots in serene Allandale is coming to market. At over .3+ of an acre, this level lot has good native trees in the right places. Just steps from area treasure Northwest Park & Pool, this is one of the most coveted corners of the neighborhood. Families stay here for decades because life is sweet and neighbors are awesome. Northwest Little League families love the baseball and softball leagues up Shoal Creek, and Sheffield Park, the iconic baseball field where Dazed & Confused was filmed, are all within a few hundred yards.

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.
