Developed in the 1960s, University Hills is situated in central East Austin. Located south of Hwy 290, west of Hwy 183, and east of Northeast Drive, the community is a mix of all ages, races, and professions. You’ll find winding, tree-shaded thoroughfares, comfortably sized ranch-style homes, spacious lots, and affordable prices that make it attractive for anyone who wants to be close to downtown without the larger payments. Many homes back up to creeks and greenbelts that meander though the neighborhood offering you privacy and a convenient location at the same time. If you want a large home and yard for the family, University Hills should be on your list of considerations.

Homes in University Hills
While many of the homes in University Hills are being updated from their 1960s charm, you can find either vintage or remodeled properties reflecting the changing demographics of the neighborhood. Original owners included many city service workers such as police, firemen, and teachers, but as housing prices creep skyward, college professors, medical personnel and young families are all finding this area to be both attractive and affordable. Homes are being updated with granite counters, hardwood floors, and open floor plans. Priced between $125,000 and $250,000, homes have three to four bedrooms and a generous floorplan of 1,300 to 2,200 square feet of living space.
