About Highland

Highland is a North Austin neighborhood anchored by the redeveloped Highland Mall site (now ACC Highland campus and The Austin FC Q2 practice facility). The area offers affordable urban living with improving amenities and strong transit connections.

Highland is a North Austin neighborhood undergoing significant transformation, anchored by the redevelopment of the former Highland Mall into the Austin Community College Highland campus and the surrounding Highland mixed-use district. This ambitious project is bringing new retail, housing, restaurants, and public spaces to an area that has long been underutilized, creating a new urban center in North Central Austin. The site also includes the Austin FC Q2 Stadium practice facility nearby.

Residential options in Highland include older single-family homes, condominiums, duplexes, and newer apartment and mixed-use developments. The neighborhood's prices are among the most affordable in Central Austin, with single-family homes often available in the $300,000 to $500,000 range. This accessibility, combined with the ongoing investment in the Highland redevelopment, makes the area attractive to first-time buyers and investors who see the neighborhood's trajectory.

Highland benefits from strong transit connections, including Capital Metro bus routes and proximity to the MetroRail line. The area sits at the intersection of Airport Boulevard and I-35, providing easy highway access. The growing number of restaurants and shops in the Highland district, combined with proximity to the Mueller development, is steadily improving daily life for residents. For buyers seeking an affordable Central Austin address with significant upside as the neighborhood redevelops, Highland is worth a close look.
