Living in Bear Creek Elementary
The Gorzycki Middle School attendance zone covers southwest AISD's Avana / Tanglewood Forest area along the Brodie Lane / Davis Lane residential corridor west of MoPac. The campus at 7412 W Slaughter Lane sits at the Brodie Lane / Slaughter Lane intersection — Bowie HS feeder territory south of central Sunset Valley.
The Bowie High School attendance zone covers southwest Austin from Slaughter Lane south to the AISD boundary, between MoPac (Loop 1) and the western Hill Country edge. Master-planned communities anchor the area: Circle C Ranch (one of Austin's largest master-planned developments, built around the Circle C Country Club), Avana, Shady Hollow, Tanglewood Forest, Western Oaks, Sunset Valley (a small incorporated city with its own City Hall), and Maple Run. The Bowie campus sits at 4103 W Slaughter Lane near the MoPac / Slaughter intersection.
Residential character leans suburban-master-planned: Circle C's tree-lined streets and Circle C Pool, Avana's Hill Country topography along Brodie Lane, Shady Hollow's heavily-treed cul-de-sacs along Dittmar and Brodie. Sunset Valley's small downtown along Brodie and Ernest Robles Way preserves a distinct city identity inside the metro. Slaughter Creek runs east-west through the Bowie zone; the Veloway (Austin's cycling-only park road) sits inside Circle C.
Day-to-day retail centers on Slaughter Lane between MoPac and Brodie (anchored by HEB Slaughter, Costco, Walmart, and the Sunset Valley shopping district), the Brodie Lane / William Cannon corridor, and the MoPac southbound frontage. Larger retail at Sunset Valley's Brodie Lane shopping clusters (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Marshalls) and at the Southpark Meadows complex further east on I-35. Healthcare access centers on St. David's South Austin Medical Center on Ben White and Ascension Seton Southwest on US 290 / Loop 1.
Outdoor recreation defines the area. The Veloway is a 3.1-mile paved cycling-only loop inside Circle C — the only car-free road of its kind in Texas. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (a UT-affiliated 284-acre botanical garden) sits inside the Bowie zone on La Crosse Avenue. Slaughter Creek Trail runs along the creek through Slaughter Creek Metropolitan Park (~150 acres of nature trails). Dick Nichols District Park offers playgrounds, sports fields, and a public pool. The Barton Creek Greenbelt's southern access points (Spyglass, Twin Falls) are at the northern edge of the zone.
