Bordered by Town Lake, MoPac Boulevard, Westlake, and Zilker Park, Rollingwood could not be in a better location. Although literally just a walk from Austin’s downtown, the community is also designed to be separate from the city and so offers the tranquility, cleanliness, and safety of a suburban community. It’s not hard to see why this community of approximately 1 300 residents forms, along with West Lake Hills, one of the most desirable locations in Texas.
Homebuyers go gaga over Rollingwood for a few simple reasons. Many love the housing selection. Rollingwood was built from the 1960s through the 1980s. A strong community feeling ensures that homes are maintained to perfection and many are remodeled to offer the latest amenities and conveniences. The older lots ensure mature landscaped lots and trees. Here, you won’t see new homes in patches of dirt – Rollingwood homes are beautifully surrounded by stunning views and gorgeous mature trees. If you are interested in renting, a few apartment complexes can offer you a lovely home on a month to month basis.
Many homebuyers vie to live in Rollingwood because the area offers superlative green spaces and recreation options. The wonderfully groomed Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail take visitors along pretty paths that lead right to Austin’s downtown – all without having to face a bleak commute. Plus, Rollingwood residents enjoy access to Austin’s largest park, Zilker Park as well as a local park which offers swimming, ball park, and playscapes. Greenbelts in the area offer even more hiking options while Town Lake is perfect for water activities in the summer. The famous Barton Springs are also nearby, and residents swear by them when Texas summer heat waves hit.
Unlike other communities, Rollingwood does not see itself as just a gateway to Austin, and the city takes care to develop exceptional options right in town. Bee Cave Road, on the south border of the community, is host to excellent dining and shopping, perfect for those residents who don’t want to stray far from home in order to unwind.
Many homebuyers now worry about local school districts when buying a home, and Rollingwood can put all these fears to rest. Rollingwood is part of the award-winning Eanes independent school district, which is without fail ranked as one of the best school districts in the state. Whether your child is preparing for college or just starting school, Eanes can offer excellent extracurricular activities alongside a superb academic education.
