About ACTRIS MLS Area Boundaries
ACTRIS (Austin/Central Texas Realty Information Service) maintains the official MLS area boundary map used by all Austin-area real estate agents. Boundaries follow major roads, rivers, county lines, and school district borders - making them easy to identify on the ground.
The current boundary system was established in January 2010 after the ACTRIS MLS Area Task Force reviewed membership feedback, Fair Housing compliance, subdivision splits, school district alignment, and growth projections. Historical MLS data was converted to match the updated areas for consistent CMA and search results.
Tip: If a property sits near a boundary line, search both adjacent areas to ensure complete coverage. The Keenan Group can confirm the exact MLS area for any Austin address.

Answers to common questions about ACTRIS MLS area boundaries and market research.
What is an MLS area in Austin?
MLS areas are geographic segments defined by ACTRIS (Austin/Central Texas Realty Information Service) to organize listings and market data. Each area has a unique code - like 1A for Northwest Hills or DT for Downtown - and specific road-based boundaries. Agents and buyers use these codes to compare pricing, inventory, and trends within defined neighborhoods.
How many MLS areas are in Austin?
ACTRIS defines over 65 MLS areas across the greater Austin metro, including Central Texas counties. The 28 core central Austin areas shown on this page cover the primary Austin market from Round Rock and Cedar Park down to the Hays County line, and from Lake Travis east to Bastrop County.
What is the difference between MLS areas and MLS regions?
MLS areas are granular zones with specific road boundaries (like 1A, 2N, or DT). MLS regions group multiple areas into broader markets - for example, the Austin Central region includes areas 1A, 1B, 4, DT, and UT. Areas are more useful for precise market analysis; regions give a bigger-picture view.
How do I find which MLS area a property is in?
Use the interactive map above to locate the general area, then check the boundary description on the area detail page. If a property sits near a boundary line, it could fall in either adjacent area - we can confirm the exact area code for any Austin address.
Why does Keenan Group track MLS area data?
MLS areas reveal micro-market trends that ZIP codes alone miss. Two homes in the same ZIP code can be in different MLS areas with different pricing dynamics. As the #1 Austin Board of Realtors team in 2024, we use area-level data to sharpen pricing strategy and negotiation positioning for every client.
