School quality

Excellent

A well-serviced Austin ZIP with excellent-rated schools and solid amenities, but high home prices and no nearby base on record warrant careful budget planning.

The good

  • Schools rated excellent (65.5/100) by district
  • Full essentials nearby: childcare, grocery, hospitals, storage
  • County crime near the national average (2022 data)

Worth weighing

  • Higher-end home prices (~$718k)
  • No nearest base on file — commute unknown
  • District score reflects area average, not any single school
  • Crime figure is county-level, not neighborhood-specific
