Neighborhood Context

About Allandale

Allandale is North Central Austin's original family neighborhood - platted in the 1950s and shaped by decades of homeowners who chose it for its tree-lined streets, strong schools, and community identity. Bounded roughly by 45th Street to the south, Koenig Lane to the north, MoPac to the west, and Burnet Road to the east, it occupies one of Austin's most convenient locations.

The housing stock is predominantly 1950s to 60s brick ranch homes - modest footprints on generous lots, many with mature live oaks that took 60 years to grow. Renovated Allandale homes command significant premiums, while original-condition homes represent some of the last attainable entry points in North Central Austin. New custom construction is an increasing presence as teardown economics make sense at these lot values.

🍽️
Burnet Road Corridor

Allandale's eastern edge is lined with some of Austin's best independent restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. Uchi, Violet Crown Cinema, Foreign & Domestic, Epoch Coffee - all within walking distance of many Allandale addresses.

🌳
Mature Tree Canopy

Sixty years of live oak growth creates a canopy that makes Allandale feel noticeably cooler and quieter than newer Austin neighborhoods. The trees are a defining asset - and an Austin Heritage Tree protection means they're here to stay.

🏫
McCallum High School

McCallum is one of Austin ISD's most respected high schools - known for its Fine Arts Academy (one of the top performing arts magnet programs in Texas) and strong academics. It's a major draw for families with high school-age children.

🚶
Walkable Errands

Allandale residents walk to coffee, restaurants, a hardware store, and neighborhood shops on a regular basis. It's not a walk-everywhere neighborhood, but the Burnet Road corridor makes daily errands genuinely walkable from the eastern half of the neighborhood.
