Allandale is a neighborhood that truly defines North Central Austin, TX.

The land that now comprises Allandale was part of an 1841 grant to George W. Davis by the President of the Republic of Texas in recognition of his service in the Battle of San Jacinto. Over time, the community evolved into distinct sections, now identified as Older Allandale, Allandale, and Allandale North. It features a lush landscape, with towering oak and pecan trees shading the wide, welcoming streets along Shoal Creek. Many residences in Allendale, Austin, are mid-century modern homes, traditional ranch-style houses, and contemporary, 21st-century dwellings. Their location ensures connectivity with several bus lines, proximity to freight tracks, and access to US Highway 183, Interstate Highway 35, and Mopac Expressway on the west.
