Where in Austin is Shady Hollow?
South Austin - easy living and affordable real estate
Shady Hollow Austin, a census-designated place in southwestern Travis County, is a beautiful neighborhood located about 10 miles southwest of Downtown Austin.
Thankfully, back in the 1970s, the Shady Hollow homeowners association prevented the banks from over-developing the area. This resultet in a preservation of generous park land with expansive green spaces and marvelous old-growth trees.
Since the 1980s, this South Austin neighborhood is owned and managed by the Shady Hollow Homeowners Corporation, and they make sure that nothing bad happens to the place. Good.
Capistrano Park and Pool is the home of the Shady Hollow Stingrays. Don't worry - it's the swim team. You'll find tennis courts and pretty playscapes for kids. You may even rent the event facilities at the neighborhood center for your anniversaries, weddings, birthday parties and other celebrations.

chefkeem, Thank you for the images, information and video. Do you know what the average lot size is? A selling point is contributing a portion of sales to the school system.
It's nice but the thing is: I prefer North Austin. Some of my kids live south.
Very nice article on Shady Hollow....and so close to some great tex-mex eateries.
Yum.
Shady Hollow looks lovely, I even like the name. Very informative for people lucky enough to be moving there.
Well! The Shady Hollow Homeowners Corporation did a great job. I wish to have more of them in other cities as well. It really is a beautiful preserved place.
