Living in Lbj Early College High School
The LBJ Early College High School attendance zone covers far northeast Austin between IH-35, US-183, and the AISD eastern boundary, extending toward Walter E. Long Lake and Decker. Neighborhoods include Windsor Park (north of MLK East), University Hills, the Loyola / Springdale area, Pecan Springs / Springdale, and the Cameron Road / 290E corridor. The LBJ campus sits at 7309 Lazy Creek Drive between US-290 East and Loyola Lane in northeast Austin.
Residential character is a mix of mid-century postwar ranch subdivisions (Windsor Park, University Hills, the Pecan Springs neighborhoods), with newer single-family and small-lot infill along Cameron Road and 290E. Mueller — the mixed-use redevelopment on the former Robert Mueller Municipal Airport site — anchors the southwestern edge of the LBJ zone with a mixed-density master-planned grid. Walter E. Long Park sits just east of the zone, with the Decker tallgrass prairie (one of Austin's largest preserved native ecosystems) extending east toward the Colorado River.
Day-to-day retail centers on the 290E corridor (with HEB Cameron, Walmart, and the surrounding strip commercial), the Cameron Road / Loyola Lane corridor, and the Mueller market district (HEB Mueller, Alamo Drafthouse Mueller, the Mueller TOD retail). Larger retail at the Mueller mixed-use complex and at Highland Mall TOD / ACC Highland to the west. Healthcare access centers on Dell Children's Medical Center (Mueller) and Dell Seton Medical Center / Ascension Seton.
Outdoor recreation centers on Walter E. Long Park (a 2,480-acre City of Austin park on the south shore of Walter E. Long Lake / Decker Lake — a cooling reservoir for the Decker Power Plant). Decker tallgrass prairie preserves one of Austin's largest stretches of native blackland prairie. Mueller Lake Park (a 30-acre park anchoring the Mueller redevelopment) adds an in-zone urban park. The Manor Road and East Cesar Chavez restaurant corridors run along the southern edge of the zone.
