Pick 1

Barton Hills

The single cleanest fit for our constraints. Budget matches median, schools match our stated values, commute is best-in-class.

Pick 2

Zilker

Essentially tied with Barton Hills on schools. Decide between them on which specific house you love more — it’s a tour-day decision.

Pick 3

Hyde Park

The lifestyle winner. If we value walk-to-coffee and an arts-inflected school culture more than the Austin HS pipeline, Hyde Park jumps to #1.

Pick 4

Allandale / Crestview

Strong backup. Becomes #1 if we prioritize square footage, new construction, and the Red Line over walkable lifestyle.
