The School District

Why Families Choose
Austin ISD

Austin ISD is the largest school district in the Austin metro area — and the most diverse by every measure. With 75+ campuses spanning central, south, east, and north Austin, AISD serves a wider range of families, price points, and neighborhood types than any other district in the region.

The district includes some of the highest-rated individual schools in Texas. LASA (Liberal Arts and Science Academy) is consistently ranked the #1 public magnet high school in the state. Kealing Middle School's magnet program is nationally recognized. Casis Elementary in 78731 is one of the top-rated elementary campuses in Central Texas. These schools draw families from across the metro who specifically target AISD attendance zones.

What sets Austin ISD apart is the range. You can buy a $350K bungalow in East Austin and send your kids to the same district as a family in a $2.5M Tarrytown estate. The neighborhoods within AISD are the cultural center of Austin — walkable, urban, close to UT Austin, and within minutes of downtown. For families who want city living without sacrificing school quality, AISD is the answer.

The district's overall TEA B-rating reflects its sheer size and socioeconomic diversity — not its best schools, which rival any district in Texas. Buyers who understand the neighborhood-by-neighborhood differences within AISD find exceptional value compared to smaller suburban districts with higher aggregate scores but less character.

Market Reality

What Buying in Austin ISD
Actually Looks Like

Austin ISD is unlike any other district in the Austin metro because it contains nearly every price point and neighborhood type within a single set of school boundaries. The market reality varies dramatically depending on which part of the district you're targeting.

In East Austin (78702), the market is driven by new construction and renovated bungalows in the $350K–$650K range. This is the fastest-appreciating area in the city — five years ago, these same homes were $200K–$400K. Buyers here are often younger professionals, investors, or families who want urban living at a relative value compared to west Austin.

Mueller and Windsor Park ($450K–$800K) attract families who want walkability, parks, and new urbanist design without the premium of inner-loop west side neighborhoods. Inventory moves steadily. Well-priced homes here sell within 1–2 weeks.

Hyde Park and North Loop ($500K–$900K) are the historic core — Craftsman bungalows, established trees, and proximity to UT Austin. These neighborhoods are tightly held. Turnover is lower than anywhere else in AISD. When something good hits the market, it goes fast.

At the top end, Tarrytown and Old Enfield ($1M–$3M+) represent Austin's most established luxury market within a public school district. These homes sit on large lots minutes from downtown and Lake Austin. Days on market stretch longer above $1.5M, which means there's room to negotiate — but the best properties still move quickly.
