Where Do Families Buy a Homework House Near Regents School of Austin?
Regents School of Austin is at 3230 Travis Country Circle, which puts the campus inside the Travis Country neighborhood rather than near it. That single fact explains why almost every homework-house conversation in this part of town starts and ends in the same few square miles. Below is what the 78735 market around that campus actually looks like, using closed ACTRIS sales rather than impressions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is Regents School of Austin?
Regents School of Austin sits at 3230 Travis Country Circle in the 78735 ZIP code, on the main loop road of the Travis Country neighborhood in Southwest Austin. It is a K-12 school and, with more than 1,030 students, the largest private school in Austin by enrollment. The campus being inside a residential neighborhood rather than on an arterial is the reason the homework-house pattern concentrates so tightly here.
What does a home in Travis Country actually cost?
Across all Travis Country sections, 32 single-family homes closed in the twelve months ending July 2026 at a median price of $768,198 and a median size of 2,107 square feet, per ACTRIS. Median days on market was 21. Twenty-six of those 32 sales, about 81%, closed at or under $950,000. It is one of the few pockets in this part of Austin where sub-$900,000 detached inventory still trades in volume.
How much is available in Travis Country right now?
Very little. As of late August 2026 there were 4 active single-family listings across all Travis Country sections against roughly 32 sales a year, which is on the order of a month and a half of supply. Across the whole 78735 ZIP there were 33 active single-family listings, 16 of them at or under $950,000 and only 10 of those at or under 2,600 square feet. That is the entire realistic pool.
Why is 78735 the center of gravity for this?
Because the campuses cluster there. Regents is at 3230 Travis Country Circle and St. Andrew's Episcopal Upper School is at 5901 Southwest Parkway, both in 78735. St. Stephen's Episcopal is just across in 78746 on St. Stephen's Drive, and Austin Waldorf sits nearby in Oak Hill. Four significant campuses inside a short radius means one small housing market absorbs demand generated by several school communities at once.
What are the alternatives if nothing is available in Travis Country?
The realistic ring outward is the rest of 78735, then 78749 and 78739 to the south, 78736 and 78737 toward Oak Hill, and parts of 78704 to the east. Each adds drive time but widens the pool considerably, and several of them carry more inventory under $800,000 than Travis Country does. Which one makes sense depends less on the map than on which direction you are already driving from.
Is the 78735 median price a useful number here?
No, and this is the trap in this ZIP. The overall 78735 median was $890,214 over the trailing year, but the middle half of sales ran from $725,000 to $2,065,000, because Travis Country townhome-scale homes and Barton Creek and Amarra estates share a postal code. Amarra Drive closed five homes at a median near $5 million in the same window. Read this ZIP by subdivision or the number describes nobody.
Can you actually walk from Travis Country homes to the campus?
The campus fronts Travis Country Circle, the neighborhood's main loop, so the distances involved are short and internal to the subdivision rather than along an arterial. How walkable any specific address is depends entirely on which section it sits in, since Travis Country spans several distinct village areas that wrap the loop at different distances. Walk the actual route at the actual time of day before you assume it works.
Is a condo or townhome a reasonable option near the campus?
It can be, and attached product in and around Travis Country typically prices below detached. The tradeoffs are HOA rules, which are worth reading closely if you might ever lease the unit, and resale liquidity, which is generally thinner than for detached homes in the same area. If the plan is to hold for a few school years and sell, weigh that against the lower entry price rather than assuming the cheaper option is the better one.
How fast do homes in this pocket sell?
Fast, relative to the rest of 78735. Travis Country closed at a median of 21 days on market over the trailing year, and some sections were quicker still: Travis Country Green closed five homes at a median of 7 days and Trailwood Village at a median of 13. Those were the quickest sub-markets across the four Southwest Austin ZIPs we track. Being pre-approved before you tour is not optional here.
