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 Stone Canyon: what's different here
Moving to Stone Canyon for a job usually comes with a start date, a few trips to look, and a long list of neighborhoods you've read about. If you're relocating to Stone Canyon, most of your driving starts on 620, so test the trip to work at the hour you'll really make it.
The right fit depends on what the move is for: the commute, the schools, or more land around you.
Why Stone Canyon buyers work with me
I've lived in Northwest Austin since 1976, and much of my recent business has been along the Parmer and 183 corridors as buyers follow the jobs north. 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. Buying in Stone Canyon means a Round Rock address outside city limits, Fern Bluff Elementary close by for much of the neighborhood, and a MUD tax line to check before you offer.
How I handle it in Stone Canyon
- 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.
