Allandale pairs roomy lots, classic midcentury homes, and everyday convenience in north-central Austin. Bordered by Crestview, Brentwood, and Rosedale, it offers a neighborly rhythm with coffee spots, casual dining, and locally owned shops along Burnet Road, plus quick access to major employers and cultural venues.
Green space is a daily perk here. The neighborhood’s signature retreat, Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest District Park, packs a pool, sport courts, a fishing pond, and broad lawns perfect for weekend picnics and pickup games, all maintained by the city’s parks department through the Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest District Park. Runners and cyclists trace the shady corridor of the Shoal Creek Greenbelt, which links to miles of urban trail. Year-round programs at the Northwest Recreation Center make it easy to plug into fitness classes, after-school activities, and community events, while neighborhood updates and block gatherings are coordinated by the Allandale Neighborhood Association.
Families value the strong public school lineup in Austin ISD: Gullett Elementary, Lamar Middle School & Fine Arts Academy, and McCallum High School, known for robust academics and arts programs. Add in practical commutes, mature trees that actually cool summer evenings, and a tradition of front-porch conversation, and Allandale feels immediately livable.
