Davenport Ranch

Tucked into the rolling hills of west Austin, Davenport Ranch is one of the city's most sought-after addresses. A few hundred homes sit across wooded terrain off Loop 360, close enough to downtown for a weeknight dinner and far enough in to read as Hill Country. Generous lots, Eanes ISD, and mature tree cover are what bring people here.

Real Estate in Davenport Ranch

Davenport Ranch is a mix of custom estates and updated homes on spacious lots, many over half an acre. Styles run from classic Hill Country limestone to contemporary builds with walls of glass framing canyon views. Single-story estates and multi-level houses with pools overlooking the greenbelt both trade here.

This sits at the top of the Austin market and prices move, so I am not going to post a median that will be wrong by the time you read it. Ask me for current comps and I will pull what has closed on your target streets.

One thing to understand before you tour: the neighborhood dates to the 1980s, and the housing stock splits into homes that have been taken down to the studs and homes that have not. The asking-price gap between those two groups can be wider or narrower than what the work would cost you. Get a contractor's number on the remodel candidate before you decide the finished house is overpriced.

Schools in Davenport Ranch

Davenport Ranch is zoned to Eanes Independent School District. Students typically attend Bridge Point Elementary, Hill Country Middle School, and Westlake High School, all consistently ranked among the top public schools in Texas. The district is known for rigorous academics and deep extracurricular programs.

Confirm the zoning on the specific address rather than the neighborhood name. Eanes boundaries do not follow subdivision lines or the 78746 zip code, and parts of that zip feed Austin ISD. School zone is one of the larger line items in what a west Austin house is worth, and listing copy gets it wrong often enough to matter.

Dining and Lifestyle

Davenport Village sits minutes away with local restaurants, boutique shops, and everyday services. The Hill Country Galleria in Bee Cave adds more dining, entertainment, and retail. The Bee Cave corridor holds the bigger-name kitchens, and downtown Austin is close enough that the full range is available on a weeknight.

Parks and Outdoor Living

Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve sits nearby: 2.5 miles of trails through a 227-acre preserve, good for a morning hike or a long weekend walk. The neighborhood itself is surrounded by mature trees and natural green space, which gives it a retreat-like feel despite being minutes from urban conveniences. Many homes back to protected greenbelt, and Austin Country Club is close by for golf.

Housing Options

Homes are predominantly single-family on generous lots, with styles ranging from traditional Texas Hill Country stone to sleek contemporary. Most fall between 3,000 and 6,000 square feet, with gourmet kitchens, resort-style pools, outdoor living areas, and multi-car garages common. The rolling topography means many properties have elevated views and real separation from the house next door. That same topography costs more to build on: sloped lots need excavation, retaining walls, and engineered foundations, so factor site work in if you are buying with plans to add on.

Getting Around

Davenport Ranch sits off Capital of Texas Highway, Loop 360, with downtown Austin about 20 minutes out. MoPac is close, which opens up the rest of the metro, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport runs roughly 30 minutes.

Worth knowing before you commit to a street: Loop 360 is a signalized highway with no frontage roads. When it backs up, there is no parallel route to duck onto. Test the drive at your real commute hour, not on a Saturday.

Why Davenport Ranch

Davenport Ranch gives you a wooded half-acre, Eanes ISD schools, and downtown Austin in 20 minutes. That combination is not common, and the inventory is small enough that the right house does not sit long.
