The City of Rollingwood

The City of Rollingwood is a Hassaw Homes' preferred neighborhood within which to build in Austin, Texas. Here are some of the many reasons.

  • Location. It is a quiet neighborhood of about one square mile on the west side downtown Austin next to Zilker Park and its 600 acres. You can walk or cycle on the famed Town Lake trail system from your home.
  • There is no through traffic; Rollingwood is a self contained community with only five access points into the neighborhood that are not obvious from major streets.
  • No expressways are required to reach:
    • Downtown
    • Shopping
    • Schools
  • Rollingwood has large city lots, generally 100 to 150 ft wide, with tall, mature trees.
  • Rollingwood is its own municipality, which means that it controls its own affairs. Imagine being to control the destiny of your own neighborhood. It has:
    • Its own police service
    • Parks, swimming, and tennis clubs
      • The pool boasts staff and coaches from the University of Texas and American Olympic teams!
    • More clout to deal with local issues than neighborhoods in the City of Austin, where centralized control means little say.
  • It is in the Eanes Independent School District, often ranked as the best school district in Texas. Take a look at their website and request their brochure.
  • Family oriented neighborhood, with 45% of households having at least one child at home. This compares with Barton Creek where the figure is only 22%. And from there, add up to 30 minutes of travel time each way whenever you want to get to downtown Austin for work or just to enjoy what Austin is all about.
