Introduction & Overview

Allandale stands as one of Austin's most beloved neighborhoods, offering the perfect blend of suburban tranquility and urban convenience. This tree-lined haven in North Central Austin has been attracting families and professionals since its development in the 1950s, and it continues to be one of the city's most sought-after residential areas.

Known for its strong sense of community, excellent schools, and beautiful mid-century homes, Allandale represents the ideal Austin neighborhood - where neighbors know each other, children play safely in tree-lined streets, and the vibrant city center is just minutes away. The neighborhood's mature canopy of oak trees, winding streets, and spacious lots create an atmosphere that feels worlds away from the bustling city, yet downtown Austin is just a 10-15 minute drive.

As experienced Allandale Austin real estate agents, the Keenan Group at Compass Real Estate offers unparalleled expertise in this exceptional neighborhood.
