“I’ve lived all over Central Texas and Rosedale is where I want to raise my family and settle down.”
Located in what used to be known as North Austin, Rosedale is a gem at the northernmost part of what is now considered Central Austin. On it’s Southern border Rosedale stands as the hub of Austin’s state of the art medical community with Seton Main Hospital and Heart Hospital of Austin only a moments drive away and scores of medical offices tucked along tree-lined streets. Turn down any of those streets and find yourself whisked away from urban life and into the green foliage that Rosedale is known for. Lively enough for the young family yet quiet enough for original owners to retire and young professionals to retreat, Rosedale boasts immaculate Ramsey Park complete with basketball and tennis courts and swimming pool with free-swim and lap pool hours.
Support the Rosedale Neighborhood Association in projects such as the Park Tree planting or join with other residents for the annual Fourth of July Parade complete with bikes strollers, wagons and fan-fare. Bike ride in safety and style along Shoal Creek’s miles of dedicated bike lanes then relax with your choice of organic coffees in Bolivian style at Café Pacha. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with shopping local as you care for home and family with original Austin vendors: Shoal Creek Nursery, Bark n Purr, and fresh-baked bread and coffee beans from Upper Crust Bakery plus boutique style Hair & Nail Salons, Licensed Massage Therapists, and Veterinary Care.
Historic cottages, wood bungalows, and brick homes built in the 30’s and 40’s have been updated and expanded to include garage apartments, fenced front yards and covered breezeways as added outdoor living spaces. Through the center of Rosedale runs 45th street, an East/West pathway that provides easy access to many of Austin’s major through-ways while maintaining the quiet neighborhood feel. Minutes from downtown and the University of Texas at Austin with just enough hustle and bustle to let you know you live in the heart of this great city!
