Real experiences from buyers and sellers in this neighborhood

Cara Keenan is a true gem of a real estate agent. She first helped me find a condo for an employee who'd be spending the weeks in Austin back in 2007. Since then, Cara Keenan has helped me buy four rental homes and most recently, a new home following my divorce. She has always been on the lookout for me for new rental properties and knows exactly what I look for, after coaching me through best practices of being a landlord. Cara Keenan shared tools to manage these properties best, and she and Joe Keenan are fantastic about helping me find new tenants when a lease term is up. Cara Keenan was a great agent and friend to me during a tough period; divorce. She helped me find a great home near my kids' school and made that traumatic process much easier by taking care of everything. The search, the inspections, the closing, and even detailed out for me what utilities to contact to get everything working before move-in. Cara Keenan was incredible.

Let me start by saying that Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan did an awesome job. Not only were they polite and respectful, but they were informative and down right professional. This was my first time buying a house and I have to say they made it a very pleasant and almost easy experience. I would recommend these two to anyone who knows what kind of things they are looking for, and even those who don't, these Realtors know their stuff so they can help find anything that fits you. They don't try and sell you or give false information. I feel as if they wanted what was best for me even if I didn't decide to go with them. I can't express how much I appreciate all that was done for me. As a young adult stepping into a new environment of purchasing my own home, they made sure I understood and knew every detail that went into what I was going to buy. All in all, this was a great experience for me and I hope more people will request Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan because I know they will help to the best of their abilities and beyond. Thanks again guys!

Home buying and selling are personal; it's also often tedious and emotional. When the world changed in 2020, and our visions for our next home were dragged along for the ride, the Keenan Group demonstrated grace, patience, support, and some much-needed hilarity. Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan and their team will be there for you through the process like the friends we all wish we had. They supported my family through a home sale and purchase during a pandemic, pregnancy, demanding work schedules, and with three kids under 3! Cara Keenan has literally played with our toddlers and held the baby, so my husband and I could focus on exploring homes. The team answers emails and texts day and night and are fast to schedule showings. Going far above and beyond the typical real estate advice you might expect to receive from excellent agents, Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan have taken the time to counsel and guide us on the endless issues consequential to homeownership, even after our selling and buying journey ended. To name just a few, they have shared a wealth of information related to pool installation, even providing written talking points for meeting with pool contractors, numerous referrals ranging from general contractors to trades to drapery designers, and personal feedback on design selections. If you are looking for unparalleled local real estate knowledge and partnership for your home sale or purchase, there is no better choice than Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan and team.

When my mom passed away and, as executor, I knew I was responsible for selling her townhouse, I was a bit nervous. I had never sold a house before, but my daughter and son-in-law, Emily and Dave Rowe had sold a couple with the help of their friends, Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan. I was very impressed with their experiences - in both cases, they sold quickly and over the asking price! When I met with Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan, they were very confident about the list price and described how everything would go from prepping the house to taking photos and video and listing the property to reviewing offers. And everything happened exactly the way they described it! Their team did an excellent job. The first person who reached out to me was BJ, who called me about an hour after I filled out a request on their website. BJ stayed in touch with me throughout the process and was very helpful. I met Sean at the house as he was working on repairs, changing fixtures, painting, and clearing out the final bulk trash items on the property and he did an excellent job. One of the things that had impressed me when they sold my daughter and son-in-law's houses were the excellent photos - which is important since most people get their first look at the property online. And these photos did not disappoint. They were beautiful. And even though the house was vacant, Leah kept me informed of all the activities taking place at the house. I don't remember the name of the program, but I got an email whenever the house was being shown to a client or previewed by an agent. Throughout the process, Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan kept in touch with me by phone, email, and text making the whole process efficient and nearly effortless for me – and I appreciate that! On behalf of my six siblings and myself, we thank Joe Keenan, Cara Keenan, and the Keenan Group for their excellent service and for selling our parent's house quickly and for more money than we had expected! I will definitely call on Keenan Group in the future and will recommend them to my family and friends!

Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan are the most exceptional Realtors you can find-anywhere. Finding a trustworthy Realtor in Austin from PA could've been a disaster, but we found the gem of all gems! Not only is their knowledge about the market and the process unmatched, but their impeccable service and reliability was what we appreciated the most during the purchase of our home. We told Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan over and over that we were sure that we weren't her only clients, but we always felt as if we were! Never a question went unanswered or a moment passed that we couldn't contact Cara Keenan or Joe Keenan; our needs were consistently fulfilled, and our expectations were surpassed. They would even tell you that we had unforeseen obstacles; but, even when we didn't know there were questions, Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan provided the answers. We also found the Keenan Group at Compass Real Estate site far superior to others in its ability to provide detailed, current information. It allowed us to search and save homes, which also made the long-distance relocation extraordinarily easier. We are happy to say that Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan have become our friends-they are truly in a class of their own! We will definitely refer them to others and look forward to opportunities to work with them again.

Joe Keenan made my first time home buying experience easy and comfortable. I contacted Joe Keenan, told him what I was looking for, and he set me up an online account [at Keenan Group at Compass Real Estate] complete with pictures, maps, and prices of available homes. I selected the ones I liked and we were physically viewing within days. Joe Keenan pointed out things that I didn't even think of (Example: the master bedroom being separate from the other bedrooms provides more privacy) and was very helpful in every aspect of the search. I could instantly tell if I liked a house or not and Joe Keenan would be right there with me - ready to leave at a moment's notice or ready to call the seller if I was very interested. Never trying to talk me into something I didn't want or making excuses for a lackluster home. A few of the houses I picked were near railroad tracks and he told me up front that not only will the train whistle wake me up at night, but reselling would be very difficult. I was just looking for a place to store my junk, but Joe Keenan came at it from all sides, informed me of the various aspects of home ownership, and guided me to make a wise thoughtful decision that I'm very proud of. I would recommend Joe Keenan to anyone that is seriously interested in buying a house. Weekends were the only time I could view homes and Joe Keenan understood completely. Every weekend Joe Keenan and I would go looking at available houses until I found the right one. His flexibility was impeccable. I also appreciated his willingness to help on all levels even though I wasn't buying a very expensive home. Joe Keenan answered every question I had, helped me get a fantastic deal, and made me feel more like family than just another customer. Joe Keenan rules and you should buy a house right now just to have Joe Keenan as your Realtor. (Note: Added bracketed text for clarity on the online account)

Keenan Group Authority
No. Barton Creek West is in 78733, zoned to Eanes ISD, with no golf course and no club. Barton Creek is in 78735, primarily Austin ISD, built around Barton Creek Country Club and its four courses. They are separate subdivisions in Travis County plat records and about six miles apart.
Eanes ISD. The school path is Barton Creek Elementary, West Ridge Middle School, and Westlake High School. One caveat: Eanes trustees approved a rezoning moving several Barton Creek Elementary planning units to Forest Trail Elementary. Assignment is set at the address level, so confirm your specific street with the district.
Two of them, both owned by the homeowners association. The larger pool is at 2601 Creeks Edge Parkway, open daily 5am to 9pm. The smaller is at 2907 Barton Point Drive, open daily from sunrise to 10pm. There are also lighted tennis courts and a hilltop playscape.
Barton Creek West is a neighborhood of about 400 homes in 78733, off Bee Caves Road at Creeks Edge Parkway, zoned to Eanes ISD. It is not the Barton Creek golf community - there is no course and no club membership here. What the neighborhood owns instead comes with the house: two community pools, lighted tennis courts, a hilltop playscape, and trails into the Barton Creek greenbelt that runs along its western edge. Homes are full-masonry and mostly two-story, platted in six blocks between 1984 and 1985 and built between 1986 and 1994. Current market context is verified through live MLS market data before property-specific pricing guidance.

This is the one in 78733, zoned to Eanes ISD. The Barton Creek most people mean is six miles away in 78735, built around Barton Creek Country Club and its four courses, and primarily Austin ISD. They are separate subdivisions in Travis County plat records, and the difference decides which schools your children attend.
Barton Creek West has no golf course and no club. What it has comes with the house: two pools, lighted tennis courts, a playscape, and the greenbelt along its western edge. That is the practical distinction - here the amenities are owned by the homeowners, and in Barton Creek they are bought through a country club membership that starts at a six-figure initiation fee.

$425 a quarter to the Barton Creek West Homeowners Association. That covers the two pools, the lighted tennis courts, the playscape and the common areas. The association uses the TownSq portal for owner communications.
No. Barton Creek West is an open neighborhood, which is a real difference from the gated enclaves inside Barton Creek in 78735.
About 400 homes, platted in six blocks between August 1984 and April 1985 and built between 1986 and 1994. They are full-masonry and mostly two-story, generally 2,745 to 4,080 square feet on lots of roughly 0.25 to 0.40 acres.
On Creeks Edge Parkway at Bee Caves Road in 78733, about three miles east of Highway 71 and across from Senna Hills.
The western edge of the neighborhood backs to hundreds of acres of Barton Creek and greenbelt. Lots along that edge back to preserved land rather than to another house, and that is the single biggest variable in what a home here is worth.
Live MLS market data for Barton Creek West is temporarily unavailable. Keenan Group verifies median price, price bands, active inventory, and recent sales-through before giving property-specific guidance.
Barton Creek West is zoned to Eanes ISD: Barton Creek Elementary, West Ridge Middle School, and Westlake High School. Eanes is the reason most families look here first, and it is the clearest line between this neighborhood and Barton Creek in 78735, which is primarily Austin ISD.
One thing to check before you write an offer. Eanes trustees approved a rezoning that moves several Barton Creek Elementary planning units to Forest Trail Elementary. Assignment is set at the address level, so confirm your specific street with the district rather than assuming the neighborhood answer.
The neighborhood runs two pools. The larger one is at 2601 Creeks Edge Parkway, open daily from 5am to 9pm. The smaller one is at 2907 Barton Point Drive, open daily from sunrise to 10pm. There are lighted tennis courts and a hilltop playscape with swings, slides, bridges, and a playhouse, plus hike-and-bike trails that connect into the greenbelt.
All of it comes with the house. Dues to the Barton Creek West Homeowners Association are $425 a quarter and cover the pools, the courts, the playscape, and the common areas.
Price against the lot, not the square footage. In a neighborhood where everything was built between 1986 and 1994 at similar sizes, the greenbelt edge and the topography carry the spread - the eight listings on record range from $390 to $509 per square foot, and that gap is mostly land.
Lead the marketing with what the neighborhood owns. The pools, the courts, the playscape and the greenbelt trails are included with the house, and for a family comparing this against a club community with a six-figure initiation, that is the argument.
Both June 2026 closings went in 18 days. Buyers who want Eanes at this price point move quickly, and a home that is priced and presented correctly does not sit here.
