Olympic Heights West is the newer section of Southwest Austin’s Olympic Heights community. Built by DR Horton in the early 2010s, the West section sits between classic Olympic Heights and the Southland Oaks/Shady Hollow corridor — tucked off Yandall Drive in the 78748 zip code. Homes have stone facades, open floor plans, granite countertops, and tile floors.
While most of Olympic Heights feeds Akins High School, the West section is zoned to Bowie High School.
The HOA is shared with the broader Olympic Heights community (managed through Goodwin Management), which means West residents get access to the same lap pool, children’s pool, 5-acre dog park, and covered pavilion. Olympic Heights West is a small section with few resales: 5 homes sold in 2023, 2 in 2024, and 2 in 2025.

An Agent Who Knows These Streets
I’m not just a Realtor who sells homes in Olympic Heights — I lived in this community. My husband and I lived on Johnny Weismuller Lane from 2012 to 2017. The West section was being built out while we were there, and I watched these streets take shape: Bruce Jenner Drive, Buster Crabbe Drive, Kerri Strug Cove, Charles M. Daniels Drive, Eric Heiden Court. The homes in the West section have more stone and more open floor plans, and several streets dead-end into coves rather than connecting through.
A few things West-section buyers should know going in:
- Bowie High zoning. The West section is zoned to Bowie High School, while most of Olympic Heights feeds Akins High School.
- Cul-de-sac streets include Kerri Strug Cove and Eric Heiden Court, which have less cut-through traffic.
- Floorplans range from 1,346 to 2,416 square feet, with a median around 1,618.
- The same HOA amenities apply. West residents are HOA members with access to the pool, the 5-acre dog park, and the pavilion.
