What Clients Say About Cat Mountain

Real experiences from buyers and sellers in this neighborhood

View all testimonials

Joe sold our Cat Mountain home in 2025 after we lived there for 18 years. The house needed some updating and Joe was straightforward about what to fix and what to leave. He recommended a painter and a landscaper — both were reasonably priced and did good work. We listed on a Thursday and had two offers by Sunday. Joe walked us through both offers with a spreadsheet comparing net proceeds, contingencies, and timelines. That kind of organized approach made a stressful decision much easier.

C. McBride

Cat Mountain

Cat Mountain was not on our radar until Cara suggested it. We were focused on Tarrytown but the prices were above our budget. She pulled up Cat Mountain listings with similar lot sizes, better views, and $200K less. Same 78731 zip code, same access to Murchison Middle School. We closed on a mid-century ranch with a pool for under a million. Cara knew exactly how to match what we wanted with what we could afford.

E. Thompson

Cat Mountain

We'd been renting in 78731 for two years before Cara helped us buy in Cat Mountain. She knew every street in the neighborhood and told us which blocks had the best views, which ones backed up to the greenbelt, and where the drainage issues were. That level of local knowledge saved us from making a mistake on a house that looked great online but had foundation concerns she spotted right away.

What is Cat Mountain like in Austin?

Cat Mountain is a residential neighborhood in Austin's 78731 ZIP code, located in the hills northwest of downtown Austin between Far West Boulevard and Loop 360. In the 12 months ending October 11, 2026, 33 homes sold in Cat Mountain at a median price of $1.15M (Keenan Luxury Market Index, from MLS closed sales). It is 15-20 minutes from downtown by car. The neighborhood is built on steep Hill Country terrain, which gives many homes panoramic views of the surrounding hills and tree canopy but also means sloped lots, retaining walls, and complex construction. Cat Mountain is served by Austin ISD (Doss Elementary, Murchison Middle School, Anderson High School). The area attracts buyers who want Hill Country views, custom architecture, and proximity to both downtown and the 360/MoPac corridor without the Eanes ISD price premium.

Overview

Why Buyers Choose Cat Mountain

Cat Mountain delivers views that most Austin neighborhoods cannot match. The steep terrain that defines the neighborhood - and that complicates construction - also produces panoramic Hill Country panoramas from living rooms, decks, and driveways. On a clear evening, sunset views from Cat Mountain hilltop lots extend for miles across the tree canopy. That visual experience is the primary draw.

The neighborhood sits in the broader Northwest Hills corridor of 78731, sharing the Doss Elementary-Murchison Middle-Anderson High school path with Northwest Hills proper. But Cat Mountain has a different character: steeper lots, more custom architecture, and a hillside feel rather than the flat suburban grid of central Northwest Hills. Homes here were built on the terrain rather than against it.

Doss Elementary is the school demand driver. Consistently one of the highest-rated Austin ISD elementary schools, Doss draws buyers from across 78731.
Hill Country views from many lots. Hilltop and ridgeline homes have 180-degree or greater vistas of the surrounding terrain. These views are permanent - protected by the topography itself.
Custom architecture. Unlike the production-built subdivisions of Northwest Hills, Cat Mountain has more one-off custom homes from the 1970s-2000s. Floor plans, materials, and styles vary significantly lot to lot.
15-20 minute commute to downtown Austin via MoPac or Loop 360. 10 minutes to the Arboretum and Domain corridor.
Loop 360 access provides direct connection to the Westlake Hills corridor, Bee Cave, and the 360/MoPac interchange without navigating surface streets.

Location & Commute

Daily Geography in Cat Mountain

Cat Mountain sits in the hills between Far West Boulevard and Loop 360 (Capital of Texas Highway) in northwest Austin. The neighborhood is accessed primarily from Cat Mountain Drive off Far West or from Loop 360. The terrain means internal roads are winding and steep - GPS can send you on unexpected routes if you are unfamiliar with the area.

The location benefits from dual highway access. MoPac (Loop 1) is accessible via Far West Boulevard to the east, and Loop 360 runs along the western edge. That dual-access means Cat Mountain has better commute flexibility than most 78731 neighborhoods.

Downtown Austin: 15-20 minutes via MoPac south. During peak rush hour, add 5-10 minutes at the MoPac/360 interchange.
The Domain and Arboretum: 10 minutes north via MoPac. This is the nearest major retail, dining, and entertainment hub.
UT Austin campus: 15 minutes via MoPac or Far West to Burnet Road.
Austin-Bergstrom Airport: 25-30 minutes via MoPac to 71.
Westlake Hills corridor: 10-15 minutes south via Loop 360.
Doss Elementary: 5-minute drive or walk for the closest Cat Mountain sections.
H-E-B Far West: 5-minute drive for daily groceries. The Far West Boulevard corridor covers most daily errands.
Barton Creek Greenbelt (360 Access trailhead): 10-minute drive south on 360 for hiking and swimming.

Culture

Local Anchors That Shape the Neighborhood

Cat Mountain does not have its own commercial district or community center. Daily life connects to the broader Northwest Hills corridor - Far West Boulevard for errands, the Arboretum area for dining and shopping, and Doss Elementary for school events and community. The neighborhood itself is residential-only, which contributes to its quiet character.

Doss Elementary: The community anchor for Cat Mountain. School events, PTA activities, and sports leagues centered at Doss create the primary social network for many neighborhood households.
Far West Boulevard corridor: The nearest commercial strip for daily needs - H-E-B, restaurants, dry cleaning, medical offices. Five minutes from most Cat Mountain homes.
The Arboretum at Great Hills: Major retail center 10 minutes north with restaurants, shops, and entertainment. Functions as the regional commercial hub for northwest Austin.
Cat Mountain trail network: Informal walking and hiking trails wind through the hilly terrain within the neighborhood. Not maintained like public parks, but well-used by residents.
Loop 360 corridor: The scenic highway along Cat Mountain's western edge connects to multiple trailheads, parks, and the Pennybacker Bridge - one of Austin's most iconic landmarks.
Northwest Hills neighborhood parks: Lions Municipal Golf Course, Northwest District Park, and Highland Park provide green space and recreation within 10 minutes.

Cat Mountain residents tend to be outdoor-oriented and value the Hill Country setting. The neighborhood attracts people who want to see trees and hills from their windows rather than other houses. It is quieter and more isolated than central Northwest Hills, which is either its greatest feature or its limitation depending on your daily routine.

Comparison

How Cat Mountain Compares to Nearby Alternatives

Cat Mountain buyers typically compare with Northwest Hills, Westover Hills, Jester Estates, and Westlake Hills. The decision usually comes down to: Do you want views and character, or do you want flat lots and a traditional suburban layout?

Compared with Northwest Hills: Same school path (Doss-Murchison-Anderson), same ZIP code (78731). Northwest Hills has flat lots, a more suburban grid, and more consistent 1960s-1980s ranch inventory. Cat Mountain has steeper terrain, more custom homes, better views, and higher construction complexity.
Compared with Westover Hills: Both are in 78731 with the same school path. Westover Hills is flatter, more suburban, and generally more affordable. Cat Mountain has more dramatic terrain and view opportunities. Westover Hills appeals to buyers who want 78731 schools without the hillside complexity.
Compared with Jester Estates: Jester is farther north and west in 78731, with larger lots and more of a Hill Country feel but a longer commute. Cat Mountain is closer to MoPac and downtown. Jester has more new construction.
For buyers who do not require Eanes ISD, Cat Mountain delivers comparable views at a lower price point.
Compared with Great Hills: Great Hills is in the 78759 corridor with Round Rock ISD in some sections. Cat Mountain stays fully within Austin ISD and has more topographic character. Great Hills is flatter and more production-built.

Keenan Group

The Keenan Perspective on Cat Mountain

#1 ABoR Team 2024$1B+ Career Sales1,000+ Homes Sold

Cat Mountain is the neighborhood where we most often see buyers misjudge the cost of what they want to do. We walk every Cat Mountain buyer through the terrain-adjusted construction math before they commit, because the gap between the purchase price and the finished cost is where financial surprises happen.

The Keenan Group has been working 78731 for 25 years, with 130+ sales in the Northwest Hills and Cat Mountain corridor. We know which streets have the best view corridors, which lots have foundation challenges, and which sections are appreciating fastest. That lot-level knowledge is especially important in Cat Mountain because every property is different - there is no standard Cat Mountain home.

#1 Austin Board of Realtors Team in 2024
$1B+ career volume and 1,000+ transactions completed across Austin
130+ sales in Northwest Hills and Cat Mountain - the deepest transaction history in 78731
Joe Keenan lives in the 78731 corridor and knows the neighborhood as both a resident and an agent

For sellers, Cat Mountain homes require photography and marketing that captures the view and terrain - standard listing photos on a flat lot do not do justice to a Cat Mountain property. We invest in elevated photography, drone video, and staging strategies that communicate the full hillside living experience to buyers who may be unfamiliar with the area.
