Shady Hollow, Austin Real Estate
Where is Shady Hollow?
Shady Hollow refers to an area in the MLS area SWE and the zip codes 78748 and 78739, south of Slaughter Lane on either side of Brodie Lane between Wyldwood Road to the north and Frate Barker Road to the south.
Though Shady Hollow real estate is actually located in one single subdivision in southwest Austin, with its own Homeowner’s Association, many of the surrounding subdivisions—operating under their own unique HOAs—use Shady Hollow in their names (e.g. Barker Ranch at Shady Hollow, Shady Hollow at Baurle Estate, Shady Hollow Estates, etc.). By association, these neighborhoods (and even a few that don’t use “Shady Hollow” in their names) have all come to be thought of under the general umbrella of Shady Hollow.

Particularly for a neighborhood as close to downtown Austin, the seclusion and relaxed atmosphere of Shady Hollow are unparalleled.
