Montopolis

Welcome to the Neighborhood

Located southeast of Austin’s center, is Montopolis. It is bordered on the west by the Pleasant Valley neighborhood and to the south by Highway 71. To the east is US 183, very close to Austin Bergstrom International Airport.

Amenities

Homes in the Montopolis area offer a variety of older ranch style homes, duplexes, and some newly designed urban structures. Many of the older homes have updated interiors in keeping with modern materials and design.

Within the neighborhood of Montopolis, residents enjoy Montopolis Neighborhood Park, Civitan Neighborhood Park, and Montopolis Practice Fields. With a location near major highways, travel to downtown Austin is easy and only about a 25-minute drive.

Community

Fully annexed by Austin in the 1970s, Montopolis has continued to grow as Austin has expanded and developed. Due to Austin’s tremendous growth, the city of Austin is developing a master plan to upgrade Montopolis and the remaining east Austin area.

The Montopolis Bridge has been renovated to be a bicycle and pedestrian path over the Colorado River and has since been added to the National Register of Historic Places. Today, Montopolis is home to a population over 10,000 who enjoy the mixed urban and suburban vibe there.

School Districts

Montopolis is served by two school districts. Children zoned to Austin Independent School District will attend Allison Elementary, Martin Middle School, and Eastside Memorial High School. Other children will be served by Del Valle Independent School District. Four elementary schools feed into Dailey Middle School and Ojeda Middle School, which in turn feed to Del Valle High School.

Welcome to the Neighborhood

If you are in the market for a home in the heart of Austin’s “Keep it Weird” district, look no further than North Loop. This part of town found its infancy post WWII, and today is considered a “hip” place to live. Filled with plenty of bungalow-style single-family homes, you’ll find an eclectic mix of neighbors as it’s a popular area with students and young professionals, as well as artists and longtime residents.

Amenities

This pedestrian-friendly neighborhood offers independent businesses including vintage shops, classic boutiques, coffeehouses, and bars. Some unique shops include Room Service Vintage offering funky furniture and apparel, Big Bertha’s Paradise featuring fine jewelry and costume jewelry as well as furs, and Breakaway Records, an all-vinyl record store.

Location

North Loop is bordered by I-35 and Lamar Blvd. and situated between Koenig Lane and West 51st Street.

Since the neighborhood is located so close to freeways and busy thoroughfares, it makes it a convenient place to live, work, and play. Access puts you close to downtown and the University of Texas as well as all parts of Austin. Living in North Loop provides residents with an “urban suburban” feel.

School Districts

Austin Independent School District serves children living in North Loop. Students attend Reilly Elementary, Ridgetop Elementary, and Lee Elementary, followed by Lamar Middle School and Kealing Middle School which both feed into Mccallum High School.
