Welcome to Rollingwood

Private, luxury neighborhood close to downtown.

Rollingwood is an expensive, luxurious neighborhood, purchased in 1945 by George B. Hatley and established in 1955. It spreads over 600 acres between Austin and West Lake and is a self-sufficient city with its own firefighters, police, and government body, despite its smaller community of approximately 1,500 citizens. Due to its creation in the 1950s, housing here appears from the outside to be older, while the inside has been updated with modern amenities, blending modern and traditional styles.

Downtown is just at the doorstep, allowing all city conveniences to be nearby while maintaining the charm of a small town. With easy access to many outdoor activities, a calm atmosphere, an active community, and proximity to great schools, Rollingwood is a great place for families as well as single professionals.
