Which school zones are driving the most activity in South Central Austin? The answer lies in sales volume rather than test scores or reputation. ALEX Intelligence analyzed 92 closed sales in October to rank elementary attendance zones by transaction count. Zilker Elementary led the market with 13 closed sales, followed closely by Travis Heights with 10 transactions. These two zones also commanded the highest median prices at $789,000 and $800,225 respectively. Casey Elementary ranked third with nine sales and a median price of $405,000, while Cunningham Elementary matched that volume with a median of $449,900. The data shows a clear hierarchy based on market activity. Galindo Elementary recorded seven sales with a median price of $510,000. Boone, Odom, Pleasant Hill, St Elmo, and Williams each saw five closed transactions, with median prices ranging from $320,000 to $422,000. This ranking reflects where buyers are actively closing deals, not academic performance metrics. In total, 10 school zones met the minimum threshold of five sales for inclusion in this analysis. The market remains active across these zones, with Zilker and Travis Heights continuing to anchor high-volume activity despite broader price adjustments in the region.
