Find your way to far South Brodie Lane and drive into a South Austin staple and longtime residential favorite, Shady Hollow. Old Shady Hollow was established over 40 years ago as a country suburb and has been developing rapidly since 1978. The country has grown into the city (or the other way around) and Shady Hollow still stands out as a laid back, tree dense area for long-time residents and young families. The area was planned with amenities but lacks that ‘master planned community’ feel, a big draw for some residents. Austin Texas Realtors who know the area say that in Shady Hollow the homes have ‘good bones’ and are easy to update for modern cosmetic design. Shared community areas include a clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, several parks, nature trails, and strategically placed playscapes. Moments away from shaded streets you will find Slaughter and Brodie Lane and all of the shopping, dining, and other service outlets provided there.
Discover some of the best Tex-Mex in the area at Maudie’s Hacienda south location and Austin original, Tres Amigos. The Slab Shack boasts ‘excellent’ reviews from long-time Austin residents and patrons. The Veloway dedicated bike and roller blade trail is a short drive down Slaughter Lane. Easy access to both Mopac (to the west) and IH 35 (to the east) makes travelling to work accessible. 10 miles from downtown Austin with an approximately 15-20 minute commute (depending on traffic conditions), Shady Hollow provides prime south Austin real estate, reputable schools, and ample recreation opportunities with the character of Austin built in.
