Homes for Sale in Austin ISD

Which homes are in Austin ISD?
Austin ISD serves most of central Austin, plus Sunset Valley, San Leanna and unincorporated areas such as Manchaca. It includes Tarrytown, Northwest Hills, Zilker, Hyde Park and the downtown condo towers.

Austin ISD doesn't cover all of Austin. Parts of the city fall in Eanes, Leander, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Del Valle and other districts. That's why a home's district is worth confirming early, before you fall for a house.

This page covers the neighborhoods within Austin ISD boundaries and explains how to check the district for any address. For the bigger picture, see my Travis County guide.

How to confirm a home is in Austin ISD

1. Check the taxing district. Search the address on the Travis Appraisal District property search. The taxing jurisdictions listed for the property show which school district it pays taxes to.
2. Look up the campus assignment. Use Austin ISD's school maps and address lookup tools to see which campuses serve the address.
3. Confirm with the district. Attendance areas can change, so verify directly with Austin ISD before you write an offer.

Property taxes

Austin ISD sets its own tax rate each year as part of your total bill, along with the city, county and any special districts. If you'll live in the home, file your homestead exemption, which applies to school taxes.
