Rollingwood

This neighborhood was designed with spacious lots and generous setbacks.

Welcome to Rollingwood

Historical Overview

Rollingwood began as a planned community in the 1950s and developed as Austin's western suburbs expanded. Originally part of a larger ranch property, the area was incorporated as its own city in 1955, allowing residents to maintain local control over development and services. This independence has been a defining characteristic of Rollingwood throughout its history.
 
The neighborhood was designed with spacious lots and generous setbacks, creating a park-like setting that continues to define its character today. Unlike many Austin neighborhoods that experienced significant changes in architectural styles over the decades, Rollingwood has maintained a more consistent aesthetic, with many original ranch-style homes carefully preserved or thoughtfully updated.
 
While the city has remained small in both geography and population, it has cultivated a reputation for excellent services, particularly its highly regarded schools and responsive municipal government. Today, Rollingwood maintains its distinct identity as an incorporated city while functioning as an upscale residential enclave within the greater Austin metropolitan area.
