Barrington Oaks Real Estate: Attractive, Affordable Homes in the Rolling Hills of Northwest Austin
Situated among the rolling hills of Northwest Austin between Highway 183 and Spicewood Springs Road, Barrington Oaks is a popular residential community featuring luxury amenities and affordable homes. The neighborhood is just 20 minutes from downtown and only 25 minutes from the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
Most of the traditional-to-contemporary-style homes were built in the 70s and 80s. Many homes in the neighborhood have been remodeled or significantly upgraded.
“There are some really great values here,” says Nick Sinfield, a marketing strategist who remodeled a 1976 Barrington Oaks property into his dream house. Nick moved to Barrington Oaks eight years ago with his wife Kathy and his son Hunter, who is turning six in the fall. “We love our home and there are really good schools here. It’s been great so far and I’m really looking forward to lots of happy times for me and my family here.”
