Which school zones are driving the most activity in Southwest Austin? The answer lies in sales volume rather than test scores or rankings. In September 2026, 128 homes closed across the area, with elementary school attendance zones serving as the primary geographic markers for market activity. ALEX Intelligence analyzed closed sales to rank zones by transaction volume. Menchaca Elementary led the region with 18 closed sales, followed by Oak Hill Elementary with 13 transactions and Cypress Springs with 12. Patton and Cowan Elementary schools each recorded 11 and 10 sales respectively. This ranking reflects where buyers are actively closing deals, not school quality ratings. Price points vary significantly across these zones. Homes in the Menchaca zone closed at a median of $415,000, while properties in the Oak Hill zone reached $770,000. Cypress Springs saw the highest median price among the top five at $1,087,500. The data shows that high activity does not always correlate with the highest prices, as Patton Elementary maintained a median of $545,000 despite 11 sales. These figures represent actual market behavior in Southwest Austin for the trailing 12-month period ending September 30, 2026. The analysis confirms that Menchaca, Oak Hill, and Cypress Springs are the most active school zones by volume of closed transactions. ALEX Intelligence estimate, not an appraisal. Want a closer look?
