Which school zones are driving the most activity in Central Austin? ALEX Intelligence analyzed recent sales to rank elementary attendance zones by transaction volume rather than test scores or quality ratings.
In October 2026, Mathews Elementary led all zones with 15 closed sales, followed by Bryker Woods and Casis with 13 each. Brentwood recorded 10 transactions, while Highland Park also saw 10 homes sell. These five zones accounted for the highest volume of activity in the area during the month.
