Crestview Neighborhood Guide

Like neighboring Brentwood, Crestview was developed on farm land. In Crestview’s case, it was an old dairy farm that was transformed by developer, Alfred B. Beddow in the 1950s and 60s. Crestview’s population exploded soon after it was developed with many veterans who utilized the GI Bill to buy relatively affordable homes. Today, many of these homes remain, though the greater majority have been updated. Once the “suburbs”, Crestview is now one of Central Austin’s more popular neighborhoods because of its proximity to Downtown and the Research Park areas North of town. Residents enjoy the amenities of city living with shopping, dining and the arts close by, all while keeping the same charm that attracted residents when it was first constructed after the War.

Crestview Homes

Most Homes Built in the 1940s and 1950s

Most homes in Central Austin’s Crestview neighborhood were built in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Many of the homes are rather modest in terms of size, especially when you compare to new construction. Most are 2-3 bedrooms with 1-2 bathrooms, between 700 and 1,300 sq ft. Some have been completely remodeled and others are in more original condition.

Many Remodels and New Constructed Homes Popping Up

If 1,300 sq ft is too small for you, don’t immediately eliminate Crestview. We are seeing more and more new construction and expansions, increasing square footage to about 2,500 on some Crestview homes. Another new concept is the two unit condo regimes, which are basically two homes on one lot. For someone looking for a modern finish out and who doesn’t need a huge yard, these types of homes make sense.

Proximity to Downtown Attracts Buyers to Crestview

Though some older homes may require some updating and/or remodeling, most Crestview home owners are willing to make the sacrifice for the mature landscaping, large lots and close proximity to Downtown Austin.
