78750 covers a stretch of Northwest Austin that includes Anderson Mill, Balcones Village, and the Great Hills area, three established neighborhoods with more mature trees and bigger lots than you’ll find in most of the newer construction going up around the metro. I’m Robbie English, REALTOR and Broker at Uncommon Realty, and this is a ZIP code I show buyers who want that established, tree-covered feel without giving up a reasonably short drive into the city.
Anderson Mill, Balcones Village, and Great Hills
Anderson Mill is the largest of the three, mostly built out in the 1970s and 80s, with the mature landscaping that comes with a neighborhood that age. Balcones Village and Great Hills sit closer to the Loop 360 side of the ZIP code and tend to run a mix of that same era of home alongside later infill and remodels. If you’re comparing 78750 against other parts of North Austin, the biggest difference buyers notice is lot size and tree cover: 78750 lots generally run larger than what’s typical closer to the city center.
Schools and practical details
Most of 78750 is zoned to Round Rock ISD, including Anderson Mill Elementary, though 78750 straddles both Travis and Williamson counties, so I always confirm the exact assignment for a specific address before a buyer counts on it. I’ve put together a broader Northwest Austin Neighborhood Guide if you want to see how 78750 stacks up against the other communities I show buyers in this part of the city.
Because 78750 has more resale inventory than new construction, I recommend getting pre-approved before you start touring. Older homes here move quickly when they’re priced right, and it helps to know your number ahead of time.
