Older homes, larger lots and broad prices shape this market
Shady Hollow’s wide neighborhood streets feature a broad selection of homes, built from the 1970s to the 2000s. The architectural styles here vary by age. Many of the area’s oldest houses are ranch- and contemporary-style options, while New Traditional homes are predominant among properties built in the mid-1980s and later. “People that like Shady Hollow are sometimes looking for an older home that they could potentially renovate, if it’s not already renovated,” says local Realtor Heidi Trevithick, who’s with JBGoodwin Realtors and has roughly 10 years of real estate experience. Houses around Shady Hollow come with lots stretching anywhere from one-fifth of an acre to over an acre. Homes under 3,000 square feet typically sell for prices from the mid-$400,000s to the upper $800,000s, while larger properties can reach over $1 million. “Shady Hollow has a wider range of home values,” says Lori Steinbarger, who’s a broker associate at All City Real Estate and grew up in Austin. “There’s first-time buyers, retirees and growing families.” Shady Hollow’s association fees are often between $40 and $50 per month.

Ellis Community Center, where you can take fitness classes.
