78749: My Favorite Zip Code in South Austin
I live in 78749. I’ve lived here since I moved to Austin. And I’m not leaving.
If 78748 is a Kia, 78749 is a Lexus. Not flashy. Not loud. Just incredibly reliable. The kind of place you can drive for the rest of your life and never feel like you need to “upgrade.”
It’s comfortable. It’s practical. It’s quietly elite.
Legend Oaks… More Legend or More Oaks?
Legend Oaks is one of those South Austin neighborhoods that quietly wins without needing to brag about it. It doesn’t scream for attention. It just sits there being incredibly practical, well built, tree covered, and reasonably priced while everyone else argues about whether Circle C is worth it.
Best Real Estate Agents Specializing in South Austin Homes
(Spoiler: The best ones know this place like it’s their hometown, favorite restaurant and therapist all in one.)
South Austin is a vibe. It always has been. It is this perfect mash up of older charm, mature trees and neighborhoods that grew one wave at a time. If you want to buy or sell here, you need an agent who understands those waves, those pockets and why one street can behave completely differently than the next.
South Austin is not a one size fits all real estate market. It is more like a greatest hits album with multiple decades represented.
Legend Oaks: Where Pricing Your Home Right Still Works (Shocking, I Know)
Legend Oaks is one of those neighborhoods people fall in love with instantly, tree-lined streets, friendly neighbors, and homes that somehow feel both cozy and spacious at the same time. It’s the South Austin sweet spot. And recently, it also became the perfect example of a real estate truth I’ve been preaching for years:
Pricing. Is. Everything.
Say it louder for the sellers in the back.
Monthly Man Cave: Because Grown Men Need Friends Too
onight is another Monthly Man Cave! A little tradition I started when I realized something both hilarious and kind of sad: a bunch of grown men can live within 200 feet of each other and still act like they’re on opposite sides of the planet.
We’ll wave when we pull out of the driveway. We’ll nod when we’re taking out the trash at the same time. But actually hang out? Actually meet? Actually know each other’s names?
Yeah… apparently that requires an event.
So I created one.
