Which Travis County neighborhoods are commanding the highest prices this month? In October 2026, five subdivisions stood out as the market leaders for luxury homes, defined here as properties selling above the $1,377,000 threshold that marks the top 10% of all sales.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed 929 closed sales to identify these high-value areas. While the county median price held steady at $500,000, specific neighborhoods saw significantly higher activity in the luxury tier. Serene Hills led with a median sale price of $905,000 across 17 transactions. Mathews followed closely with a median of $900,000 based on 15 sales.
The third spot went to Hill, where homes sold for a median of $775,750 in 16 closed deals. Highland Park and CC Mason rounded out the top five, with medians of $735,000 and $657,500 respectively. These figures reflect only subdivisions that met the minimum sample requirement of three sales each within this price tier.
It is important to note that these rankings are based strictly on sales volume and median price activity. They do not indicate school quality or neighborhood safety. The data shows a distinct concentration of high-value transactions in these specific zones, even as overall county sales volume dipped 15% compared to the same month last year.
