Valleyside Place is a small condo community tucked into the Northwest Hills neighborhood in the 78731 zip code, just south of Far West Blvd. It’s only 30 units, spread across one- and two-story buildings set into the hillside among the trees — a lot of owners describe them as having a “tree house” feel. There’s a community pool and a few park-like common areas on the property.
I’m Robbie English, REALTOR and Broker at Uncommon Realty. I’ve been working the Austin market for decades, including plenty of time in Northwest Austin condo communities like this one, and I can walk you through what makes Valleyside Place different from the other condo options nearby.
Why buyers like Valleyside Place
Location is the main draw. You’re about 6 miles from downtown Austin, close to Mopac (Loop 1) for the commute, and within a couple blocks of the UT shuttle and Capital Metro bus line. HEB and the shops and restaurants along Far West Blvd are a short walk or drive away. For buyers who want green space, Bull Creek Greenbelt, Bright Leaf Preserve, and Allen Memorial Park are all close by.
Because the community is small and the buildings sit into a wooded hillside, units here feel more private than what you’d find in a larger, more exposed complex. That’s a real trade-off worth knowing about going in — floor plans and layouts vary more than they would in a newer, single-design building, so it’s worth walking a few units before you settle on one.
What to check before you buy
Condo purchases in a smaller HOA like this one come down to a few specifics: how healthy the association’s reserves are, what the monthly dues actually cover, and whether any special assessments are on the horizon. I pull the HOA docs and resale certificate for you and go through them together before you’re locked into an offer, so there aren’t surprises after closing.
