ALLANDALE

Situated in North Central Austin, Allandale is one of Austin’s most sought after communities for both professionals and families. Relative to much of Central Austin, the area offers both affordability and larger homes on oversized lots. The area contains vintage 1940’s – 1950’s built homes, along with very mature landscaping, and large yards, which are perfect for playing children.

The Neighborhood Association is one of the most organized groups in central Austin, and is very active in area affairs and planning. Homes in Allandale can range from fixer-up opportunities, to ornate vintage housing, and redevelopment restrictions help preclude developers from building properties that don’t mesh with the current aesthetics of the area.

The neighborhood is along the MoPac Expressway corridor, which offers residents easy access to some of Austin’s largest employment sectors. This, combined with the overall quality of life in the neighborhood, continue to make it one of the most appealing areas in Austin.

Many Allandale residents and their families relish living near the Shoal Creek Greenbelt, a beautiful preserve that runs through the neighborhood. Local hotspots include the South-American decorated coffee shop: Pacha Imported Arts and Coffee. For great hamburgers, local patrons flock to Phil’s Ice House, and then to Amy’s Ice Cream, which is Austin’s most famous ice cream parlor. Local pub, Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon, is famous throughout the city.   For both individual and family activities, ClayWays provides a venue where locals can learn the art of making pottery.
