Great Hills Real Estate Guide

The following is an interview with David Ristine, Great Hills real estate expert.

Where exactly is Great Hills located?

Great Hills is located southwest of the intersection of Capitol of Texas Highway and Highway 183. The Arboretum is located at the northeast corner of the area.

What is the average price of the homes in Great Hills?

The average price of homes in Great Hills is $472,000.

What is the average size of the homes?

The average size of homes located in Great Hills is approximately 2,950 square feet.

How long do homes stay on the market?

Homes are currently staying on the market an average of only 38 days.

Why do residents choose to live in Great Hills?

The residents choose Great Hills primarily because of its location. In addition, the entire area resides in the beautiful Austin Hill Country, and all for a moderate price.

What are some the negatives of living there?

There aren’t many negatives to be found about living in such a beautiful and convenient community. In my opinion, it is the fact that the older sections of Great Hills are in the Austin School District, making some of these school locations not as convenient as those in the newer sections of Great Hills.

What are the public schools like?

The older sections of Great Hills are in the Austin Independent School District. I have not heard any criticisms about the schools other than the locations are not as convenient as some would prefer. On the plus side, the newer sections of Great Hills are in the Round Rock School District, which includes Laurel Mountain Elementary, one of the most popular schools, which has an Exemplary rating.

How close are the schools to Great Hills?

The older sections require some longer bus or commute times. Direct drive time is not more than 10 to 15 minutes. Those in the newer sections find the elementary school nicely placed in the neighborhood, with the middle school not more than 5 minutes away. The high school is approximately a 15-minute drive.

Are there any private schools nearby?

There are numerous private schools available in the Austin area. You are looking at a 15-minute drive to the nearest location.

Are there any pre-schools nearby?

The closest pre-school is 10 minutes south of Great Hills.

What kind of amenities are offered?

The Great Hills area is primarily residential in nature; however, the hilly terrain provides great running and walking routes. There are numerous greenbelt areas that are also fun to explore. Residents can join the Great Hills Country Club, which offers golf, swimming, and tennis facilities, all conveniently located in the heart of Great Hills.

What are the most sought after streets?

I would not say that there are specific streets that are more desirable, but residents prefer cul-de-sac locations, or better yet, a great greenbelt view – and there are plenty available.

What are the most popular neighborhoods?

Great Hills does not have specific neighborhoods. It was built in sections over time, and all of the sections tie together. The most sought after situation is to be located in the sections served by Laurel Mountain Elementary School.

Where do people go out to eat?

One of the great benefits of living in Great Hills is the access to almost any kind of cuisine your taste buds desire! With the Arboretum area, and now The Domain just around the corner, you have over 30 different dining locations in your backyard.

Where do people shop for groceries?

Again, grocery shopping is located in your own back yard. Both HEB and Randall’s have locations less than 5 minutes away from all Great Hills locations.

Where do people workout?

There are numerous fitness centers close to the Great Hills neighborhood. In fact, one is located right next door in the Arboretum area. Other fine facilities are within 15 minutes of the area.

What kind of organized sports are offered?

Specifically, school-related sports activities and those associated with Great Hills Country Club are the principal activities. Once a year, there is an organized run that offers runners the opportunity to enjoy the scenic hills in the community.

What is the traffic like when commuting to downtown?

Most of the residents will use MoPac to reach the downtown area. During rush hour, traffic can be taxing due to the heavy volume of drivers in Austin.

How long does it take to commute downtown?

In normal driving conditions, the commute is approximately 20 minutes.

How long does it take to drive to the airport?

Your drive time from Great Hills to the airport is 30 minutes under normal driving conditions.

What makes you an expert on Great Hills?

During the mid-point of the development of the area, I worked for a home builder managing the sales staff in the area. We were responsible for learning the area thoroughly. As a result, I built a home and lived in the Great Hills area for a number of years, and I was also a member of the Great Hills Country Club. I do not live in the area now, but in a neighboring location. I still spend a lot of time in the area, shopping, eating out, and enjoying the numerous movie theaters and activities available in the area.
