Relocating to the Area in Anderson Mill
The right part of Austin for your job, your commute and your schools, from someone who has lived here since 1976.
Relocating to the Area in Anderson Mill: what's different here
Moving to Anderson Mill for a job usually comes with a start date, a few trips to look, and a long list of neighborhoods you've read about. Bordered by 183 and 620, Anderson Mill puts the Parmer tech corridor close by, with Anderson Mill or Purple Sage Elementary, then Grisham and Westwood.
The right fit depends on what the move is for: the commute, the schools, or more land around you.
Talk about Anderson Mill
Why Anderson Mill buyers work with me
I grew up in Northwest Austin, have lived here since 1976 and have lived on the Mountain in the Spicewood Estates area since 2004. I grew up in the school pipeline many relocating families ask about, from Spicewood Elementary to Canyon Vista and Westwood, and I've watched these neighborhoods grow. Anderson Mill is a more affordable way into the Westwood pathway, with its own pools, parks and trails through the Anderson Mill Limited District.
How I handle it in Anderson Mill
- A consultation about your job, commute, schools and timeline before we look at a single listing. Getting ready.
- Video calls and listing videos to narrow the list before you fly in.
- An early decision on buying first or selling first, with your lender, if your down payment is tied up in another state. Selling and buying at once.
- Notes on each home, including the trade-offs a listing won't mention.

What relocation looks like in Anderson Mill
One of Austin's oldest master-planned communities, between 183, 620 and Anderson Mill Road, with its own pools, parks and trails.
- The homes
- One of Austin's oldest master-planned communities, built mostly in the late 1970s and 1980s: about 3,500 homes straddling 78729 and 78750. Denser streets and more affordable prices than the hillside neighborhoods; the lower end of its range is comparable to Barrington Oaks.
- Schools people ask about
- Round Rock ISD. The side closer to 183 feeds Anderson Mill Elementary and the side closer to 620 feeds Purple Sage Elementary; all of it then feeds Grisham Middle School and Westwood High School. A separate neighborhood across 183 that also uses the Anderson Mill name feeds McNeil High School, so make sure a listing is in the Anderson Mill you mean.
- Getting around
- Bordered by 183, 620 and Anderson Mill Road.
- Nearby
- The Anderson Mill Limited District, the neighborhood's own taxing district, runs the Anderson Mill pool and the El Salido pool, tennis courts, parks and trails.
- The trade-off
- The only one of the Northwest Austin neighborhoods here with its own dedicated pools, parks and trails; the others rely on private clubs or City of Austin facilities. Older homes and no preserve backdrop.
