Allandale Austin, TX

A tree-filled neighborhood in northwest Austin

Family-Friendly Parks University

Well-established and highly sought after, Allandale is considered one of Austin’s top neighborhoods. With its mature trees providing shady streets lined with ranch-style homes on manicured lawns, it’s easy to see why so many seek this park-like community. But its proximity to all things Austin – from the museums, theaters, and music venues downtown to the University of Texas at Austin – make it even more desirable.

Long before it became the trendy, sought-after neighborhood it is today, Allandale was part of an 1841 land grant to George W. Davis as a reward for his part in the Battle of San Jacinto. This early history is reflected in the Davis Family Cemetery, a historic cemetery, located off Vine Street. Other noteworthy locations include Beverly S. Sheffield Park, a large park with picnic tables, ball courts, and a playground, and the Northwest Recreation Center. For those moving to an Allandale apartment with a dog, the Great Northern Dog Park – a top-rated off-leash dog park with a retention pond – is located off Great Northern Boulevard.

Shops, Restaurants, and other businesses are scattered throughout Allandale. You’ll find several along Burnet Road, the neighborhood’s eastern border. Popular destinations here include the Monkey Nest Café, Lucy’s Fried Chicken, the Peached Tortilla, and the Little Longhorn Saloon. Anderson Lane, the northern border, features the Village Shopping Center and the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Village. Head to Downtown Austin, just six miles south, for more entertainment and nightlife options. If you prefer mass transit, Allandale offers several bus stops in the neighborhood, including a MetroRapid bus with a station along Burnet. For students, the University of Texas at Austin is three miles south.
