Selling Your Home in Great Hills: what's different here
Selling in Great Hills means competing for the buyers who already want this part of Austin. 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.
That's why I start with where your home stands against the others a buyer will see, not with a number pulled from a website.
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. When I price a home in Great Hills, I'm weighing what buyers here actually pay for. Great Hills has the widest range in Northwest Austin, from condos and townhomes to homes near the club, with schools split between Round Rock ISD and Austin ISD by address.

Great Hills
What selling your home 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.
