West Austin covers some of the most expensive and most varied real estate in the metro, from older homes in Tarrytown to the hill country lots around Westlake and Lake Austin. I’ve worked this part of the market for years, and the thing that matters most here is knowing which streets carry a premium for the view or the lake access and which ones are priced on square footage alone.
The neighborhoods I work most
Tarrytown, close to downtown and Lady Bird Lake, has some of the oldest housing stock in the city alongside newer teardown-rebuilds. Rollingwood and the Westlake/West Lake Hills area sit further west, known for larger lots and Eanes ISD schools. Barton Hills and Zilker, closer to the greenbelt and Barton Springs, blend into what people sometimes call West Austin and sometimes call South Austin, depending on who you ask. I can tell you where the real boundaries and price breaks are once I know the specific streets you’re comparing.
What I do for buyers here
West Austin properties often carry a story, whether that’s a lot with development potential, a home that needs updating, or a view that’s driving most of the price. I help you separate what’s actually adding value from what’s just marketing, and I dig into contract details that matter more here than in other parts of town, like tree preservation ordinances and setback requirements on hill country lots.
What I do for sellers here
I price against comparable recent sales for your specific neighborhood, since a home in Tarrytown and a home in Westlake can differ by hundreds of thousands of dollars even a mile apart. From there I handle staging guidance, professional marketing, and negotiation through closing.
