Austin Real Estate News: Barrington Oaks Neighborhood Takes 6th in RedFin Hot 'Hoods Poll

I’m going to be honest: I hadn’t even heard of Barrington Oaks until Redfin published this list of hottest neighborhoods. As it turns out, this subdivision, which is just south of Balcones Country Club, is full of great homes in the $200s to $400s with a median list price of around $364,000, ranging in age from the late 1960s to some recent construction. So, why is this neighborhood such a hot commodity with homebuyers? Here’s the consensus from boots-on-the-ground Redfin agents:

Redfin agents have found that the real trend in 2014 neighborhood popularity is a short commute at an affordable price. The trending neighborhoods offer a short drive to or easy access to a commuter rail line at prices that are not the most expensive in the city.

Yes, this location is great, considering it’s just of 183 in the northeast area of Austin. It has some gorgeous houses, too. I’m especially smitten with this renovated 1980s soft contemporary at 11310 Yucca. It has four bedrooms, two baths, and a fantastic backyard with pool, which you will definitely want come summer. Redfin agent Cyndy Stewart says the location will mean a short commute to many Austin employers with great shopping nearby. “Another perk of this up-and-coming neighborhood is the sought-after school district,” Stewart said.

Other hot neighborhoods in Austin, according to Redfin research, include Millwood, Stone Canyon, Fern Bluff, and North Austin (which has a totally boring name, amiright?). I am kind of bummed that North Texas didn’t make the list at all, which is crazy considering that half of Dallas is trying to find the perfect home in Lake Highlands right now.

We asked our Facebook followers what their favorite neighborhoods in Dallas were, and tons said Lake Highlands, Midway Hollow, Preston Hollow, and so many more. Tell us, what do you think is North Texas’ hottest ‘hood?
