Highland Park

Welcome to Highland Park

Highland Park is one of West Austin's most overlooked luxury neighborhoods, sitting just north of Tarrytown and west of Mopac near Mount Bonnell. Large lots, mature trees, and a quiet, established feel put 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 here range widely. You will find everything from renovated condos and townhomes to multi-million dollar modern estates within a few blocks of each other.

What Does It Cost to Buy a Home in Highland Park in 2026?

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. It means a buyer can find a foothold in a premier West Austin location at a number that does not exist a few minutes south or west.

Who Highland Park Is (and Isn't) Right For

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. It is also not the place for buyers who want a uniform, brand-new subdivision feel, because the housing stock here is intentionally varied.

Highland Park Schools and Austin ISD

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, this is a meaningful draw.

What It's Like to Live in Highland Park

Life in Highland Park is green, quiet, and surprisingly close in. You are less than two miles from Mount Bonnell, where stone stairs climb to sweeping views of Lake Austin and downtown, and minutes from Mayfield Park, Laguna Gloria, and the central-Austin restaurant scene. Residents describe it as beautiful, peaceful, and well maintained.
