Welcome to Crestview

When considering a home in Central Austin, the Crestview community is part of a frequently searched region most homebuyers will begin searching. Together with the adjoining communities of Brentwood and Allandale, these neighborhoods make up the sweet spot of homes considered to be centrally located. Here in Crestview, you will discover a large patchwork of homes remarkably similar in age and square footage, earliest homes are from the late 1940's, but the median age is somewhere around 1953 as the typical year built.

As part of the "Atomic Era" in American history, the simple charm from this neighborhood is found from the surrounding amenities that have remained well maintained. Area parks and shopping centers, like the Crestview Minimax IGA, resemble colorized versions of "Leave it to Beaver." Modest hip roof, ranch style homes are the predominant architectural style, with a small covered entry porch, and adjoining carports are typical characteristics of these Crestview homes for sale.
