What Your Home Is Worth in Great Hills
A real market evaluation of your home and street, with the reasoning shown, instead of an automated guess.
What Your Home Is Worth in Great Hills: what's different here
An online estimate can't see what moves value in Great Hills. Great Hills buyers are paying for a location near 183 and Loop 360 and for views, so a hillside or golf-course lot has to be shown, not described.
A real market evaluation starts with your house, your lot and your street, and shows you the reasoning behind the number.
Why Great Hills sellers 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 started in this business in 1992 as a market analyst, so valuing homes is the part of the job I've done longest. Many Great Hills homes date from the 1970s through the 1990s, often on sloped lots with stairs, which matters when planning a move to something easier.
How I handle it in Great Hills
- Comparable sales from Great Hills and the streets around it, plus what is under contract and what buyers have been walking past.
- Adjustments for what a database misses: condition, updates, the lot and what's behind it.
- A value range with the reasoning shown, and if you're thinking of selling, the three pricing plans I'd consider. How pricing works.
- No obligation. Plenty of owners ask so they can plan.

Great Hills
What home value looks like in Great Hills
The hilliest corner of Northwest Austin, wrapped around Great Hills Country Club near the 183 and Loop 360 interchange.
- The homes
- Mostly 1970s to 1990s in the original sections, with updates and rebuilds scattered throughout, so condition varies a lot from house to house. Classic hillside character, with view lots and golf-course lots that carry a premium. Prices span a wide range, from entry-level condos and townhomes to substantial homes near the club and the Arboretum. Great Hills Country Club dates to 1973 and has been member-owned since 1985: 18 holes, eight lighted tennis courts, and a reported $22.3 million course and clubhouse project approved by the membership. Club membership is separate from buying a home.
- Schools people ask about
- Split by address. The Round Rock ISD side feeds Caraway or Laurel Mountain Elementary, then Canyon Vista Middle School and Westwood High School. The Austin ISD side feeds Davis or Hill Elementary, then Murchison Middle School and Anderson High School. Confirm with the district's own boundary tool.
- Getting around
- Near the 183 and Loop 360 interchange, one of the best-connected corners of Northwest Austin: quick access to the Arboretum, the Domain and the North MoPac tech corridor, with the Apple Parmer campus within reasonable reach.
- Nearby
- The Arboretum, the Great Hills office corridor, the Domain, Great Hills Country Club (private).
- The trade-off
- The hilliest of the Northwest Austin neighborhoods: the streets go up and down, up and down, with far fewer level stretches than Northwest Hills or Spicewood Estates, where the land rises to broader hilltops. Against Balcones Village, Great Hills is the more connected of the two, while Balcones Village is quieter and more tucked away.
