If you want a Highland Park realtor, you want someone who actually knows this overlooked West Austin pocket near Mount Bonnell, not the whole metro. I am Brandon Galia, a West Austin agent with Lujo Realty, and I work a limited number of buyers and sellers across West Austin each month. Highland Park is Austin ISD, not Eanes, and the housing stock runs from renovated condos to multi-million dollar estates within a few blocks, so what your exact street and lot are worth matters more here than almost anywhere.
Highland Park sits just north of Tarrytown and west of MoPac near Mount Bonnell, with large lots, mature trees, and a quiet, established feel that puts it minutes from downtown while feeling a world away. Most buyers fixate on Westlake and Tarrytown and drive right past it, which is exactly why it can be a smart play. This is Austin ISD, not Eanes, and the homes range widely, so you will find everything from renovated condos and townhomes to multi-million dollar modern estates within a few blocks of each other.
As of 2026, prices in the Highland Park West area run from around $700K for a renovated condo or townhome up past $5M for a modern estate, with most single-family homes landing roughly between $1M and $3M. The spread is wide because the housing stock is mixed, so the comp set depends heavily on the exact street and lot. That range is part of the appeal: a buyer can find a foothold in a premier West Austin location at a number that simply does not exist a few minutes south or west.
Highland Park is served by Austin ISD. Many homes feed Highland Park Elementary, a long-recognized Blue Ribbon school, before continuing to Lamar Middle School. For families who want a strong central-Austin public school without an Eanes price tag, that is a meaningful draw. Life here is green, quiet, and surprisingly close in: you are less than two miles from Mount Bonnell and its sweeping views of Lake Austin and downtown, and minutes from Mayfield Park, Laguna Gloria, and the central-Austin restaurant scene.
Highland Park is right for buyers who want large lots, mature trees, and a premier West Austin location close to downtown, and who do not need an Eanes ISD address. Nature lovers, families who value Highland Park Elementary, and buyers who want privacy without leaving central Austin do very well here. It is not the right fit if Eanes ISD is a hard requirement, since this is Austin ISD, and it is not the place for buyers who want a uniform, brand-new subdivision feel, because the housing stock here is intentionally varied.
What buyers and sellers ask me most about Highland Park
There is no single official answer, but you want an agent who actually knows Highland Park, its mixed housing stock, and Austin ISD zoning, not a metro-wide generalist. I am Brandon Galia with Lujo Realty, focused on Highland Park and the rest of West Austin, working a limited number of clients so each deal gets my full attention.

Through an agent with a real local network. Because Highland Park is small and easy to overlook, some of its best homes sell quietly to ready buyers before they hit the open MLS. Join my off-market list and reach out directly, and I will share what is moving before it reaches the public market.
