Austin Neighborhoods
Crestview
Central Austin charm, a Red Line station, and a wave of modern infill.
Crestview is bounded by Anderson Lane on the north, Justin Lane on the south, Burnet Road on the west, and North Lamar Boulevard on the east, in 78757. It sits along the Airport Boulevard corridor in Central Austin, close enough to North Loop that buyers often shop the two together.
The housing is a mix of original mid-century modern homes and newer infill construction. That mix is the defining thing about buying here: on many blocks the choice is between an original house at entry price and a rebuild two doors down, and the gap between those two options is wider in Crestview than in neighborhoods with more consistent stock.
Getting downtown
By rail, which almost nowhere else in Central Austin can say. Crestview Station on the CapMetro Red Line sits at the neighborhood, and it is a real part of why people choose it rather than a line on a brochure. The central position also puts downtown and The Domain both within a straightforward drive.
Parks: the honest version
Crestview has no park inside its own boundaries. That is worth knowing before you buy, and it is the clearest structural difference between Crestview and the Central Austin neighborhoods around it, most of which are built around one.
What residents use instead is Brentwood Park, immediately south across Justin Lane. It runs to just over 9 acres and carries tennis courts, soccer and baseball fields, and a playscape, so the amenity is genuinely there. It is a short walk from much of Crestview rather than a drive. The distinction is whose boundary it falls inside, not whether you can use it.
The neighborhood association
The Crestview Neighborhood Association is active and voluntary, at crestviewna.com. There is no mandatory neighborhood-wide HOA.

What schools are near Crestview?
Lamar Middle School on 6201 Wynona St and McCallum High School on 5600 Sunshine Drive stand in or beside the neighborhood. That is where the campuses are, not a statement about who attends them. Austin ISD assigns schools by street address, and assignments can change. Check the current one for a specific property with Austin ISD School Finder, which is the authoritative source. We do not publish attendance zones, because a zone we printed last year is not a zone you can rely on this year.
