78747 sits in far South Austin, wrapping around Onion Creek and stretching out toward Creedmoor and Mustang Ridge. It’s grown a lot over the past several years — Easton Park and Goodnight Ranch are two of the bigger newer communities out here, both built with amenity centers, pools, and trails aimed at young families.
I’m Robbie English, REALTOR and Broker at Uncommon Realty, and I can help you sort out which part of 78747 actually fits what you’re looking for.
Most of 78747 falls in Austin ISD, with Blazier Elementary, Mendez Middle School, and Akins Early College High School serving a lot of the ZIP code, but the eastern edge is zoned to Del Valle ISD. Don’t assume every address here has the same assignment; always verify the exact schools for a specific property before you get attached to it.
