Where the city meets the Hill Country
Southwest Austin Real Estate
Southwest Austin is the gateway between city living and the Texas Hill Country — established neighborhoods like Circle C Ranch and Oak Hill sit minutes from acreage properties along Bear Creek and the 290 corridor. It's where you can keep an Austin commute and still hear the coyotes at night.
This is home turf for Micah Wagner Realty. Our office sits on Espanola Trail in 78737, and we've spent two decades helping families and investors buy and sell on both sides of the city-country line — from classic South Austin homes to 5+ acre unrestricted properties.
Why people choose Southwest Austin
The best of both worlds
Twenty minutes to downtown, ten minutes to the Hill Country. Neighborhoods range from master-planned communities to wooded acreage lots.
Strong schools
The area straddles Austin ISD and the highly-rated Dripping Springs ISD — school boundaries meaningfully affect value here, and we know them street by street.
Acreage close to town
78737 and the Bear Creek corridor still offer unrestricted acreage and ranchettes within a short drive of the city — increasingly rare and in demand.
What to know before you buy or sell here
- ✓School district boundaries (AISD vs. DSISD) can swing value significantly between similar properties.
- ✓Many acreage properties are on well and septic — inspections and due diligence differ from city homes.
- ✓The 290 corridor continues to develop; land close to it carries both opportunity and restriction questions worth checking carefully.
