Los Indios is a quieter Northwest Austin neighborhood in the 78729 zip code, off the 183/McNeil corridor near Anderson Mill. Homes here were mostly built in the 1980s and ’90s on generous quarter- to fifth-acre lots, and unlike a lot of neighboring subdivisions, Los Indios doesn’t have an HOA — which appeals to buyers who want a real neighborhood feel without the extra rules and dues.

What sets Los Indios apart
Kids in Los Indios attend Round Rock ISD, not Austin ISD — worth knowing since a lot of nearby 78729 neighborhoods split between the two districts. Lots here are noticeably larger than what you’ll find in newer Northwest Austin construction, and since there’s no HOA, you’ll see more variation from house to house: some still close to original condition, others updated with newer floors and finishes. Anderson Mill is right next door for day-to-day shopping and dining, with quick access into the rest of Austin when you want it.
What to expect on taxes and lots
Property taxes in this part of Northwest Austin run around 1.95% as of the current tax year, which is worth factoring into your monthly budget alongside the mortgage payment itself — buyers comparing Los Indios to a newer subdivision sometimes forget the tax rate isn’t identical everywhere. On the upside, those larger 1980s-and-90s-era lots give you more room for a pool, an addition, or just a real yard than most newer construction in the immediate area offers.
Buying or selling in Los Indios
Because lot size and condition vary so much on a street without HOA standards, comparing homes here takes more than a quick scroll through photos — I’ll walk the property with you and point out what’s cosmetic versus what’s a real cost.
