Austin Texas Real Estate Listings
Austin, the state capital, straddles Travis County and reaches into Williamson and Hays Counties. Founded in 1839 as the capital of the Republic of Texas, it’s now the beating heart of the state’s creative and tech scene. Once known for its laid-back music culture, Austin has evolved into “Silicon Hills,” home to Tesla, Apple, Oracle, and countless startups. Yet, it retains its “Keep Austin Weird” charm—live music, outdoor spaces, and a fiercely independent spirit. The Colorado River (Lady Bird Lake) runs through the city, bordered by trails, skyline condos, and cafes. Housing is diverse: vintage bungalows in Hyde Park, modern townhomes in East Austin, and suburban communities in Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and Dripping Springs. Median homes run $500,000–$700,000, with luxury properties reaching $1M+. Land averages $30,000–$90,000 per acre, depending on county and infrastructure. Austin’s growth brings traffic and prices, but also unmatched energy—a city where politics, tech, art, and barbecue coexist seamlessly.
