These are Austin neighborhoods that have an average lot size of an acre, so homes are evenly spaced out. Some neighborhoods might have sections with small lots and some with acreage lots, but, on average, they’ll come in at an acre. Below you’ll see each neighborhood, along with a profile of price and size, where it’s located, a map and what’s for sale there. Scroll down to the bottom to get a more personalized list of neighborhoods that might be a fit.
