Milwood

One of the biggest and most established neighborhoods in Austin, Milwood is an affordable master planned community. It is a perfect area for settling young professionals, and ideal for first time homeowners. A very family friendly residential block, there are plenty of parks and restaurants to frequent throughout every season.

There are a plethora of outdoor recreational amenities available for locals and visitors alike. Rattan Creek Park is popular for runners and loved by dog owners. For a more natural route, try out Yett Creek Park, which functions partially as a nature preserve and features wilderness trails. Also at hand is the nearby Riata Neighborhood Park, with a stunning loop around the lake and plentiful picnic spots.

With no shortage of places to keep you busy in the area, only a 10 minute drive will take you to happening and popular nightlife at The Domain. Delicious restaurants like classic Texas BBQ joint Smokey Mo’s BBQ or Aviator Pizza and Drafthouse are right around the corner. Notable local favorites include Little Woodrow’s Palmer, which plays host to special events for residents like a weekly Movie Night.

Milwood is served by the Austin Independent School District, and students can attend fairly ranked schools like Davis Elementary School and Canyon Vista Middle School. For parents looking for more options for their children, other AISD schools can be looked in to as options, with some being the highest ranked in the state of Texas for varying accolades.
