Living in Navarro Early College High School
The Juan Navarro Early College High School attendance zone (formerly Lanier HS, renamed 2019) covers north Austin between MoPac (Loop 1) and IH-35, from Rundberg Lane and US-183 north to the AISD boundary near Walnut Creek. Neighborhoods include Quail Hollow, Heritage Hills, Heatherwilde-adjacent areas, North Lamar, and the Payton Gin / North Park / Walnut Creek area. The Navarro campus sits at 1201 Payton Gin Road between US-183 and Rundberg Lane.
Residential character is a mix of postwar ranch homes, mid-1970s suburban tract subdivisions, and small-lot infill along North Lamar and Rundberg. The North Lamar corridor (north of US-183) is one of the most diverse commercial-and-residential strips in Austin, hosting large concentrations of Asian, Mexican, and Korean-owned businesses (Asian District / 'Little Asia'). The Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park borders the zone on the east.
Day-to-day retail centers on the North Lamar corridor (with Asian Market and small-business commercial), the Rundberg / North Lamar intersection, the US-183 / IH-35 / Burnet Road interchange, and The Domain mixed-use district immediately west of the zone on Burnet Road. Larger retail at The Domain and at the Tech Ridge complex on IH-35 north of US-183. Healthcare access centers on St. David's North Austin Medical Center on MoPac and Ascension Seton Northwest on Spicewood Springs.
Outdoor recreation centers on Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park (one of Austin's largest public parks at 293 acres along Walnut Creek, with hiking and mountain-biking trails, sports fields, playgrounds, and an off-leash dog area). The Walnut Creek Greenway extends along the creek through and beyond the park. Northwest District Park (just south of the zone) and the Domain's commercial outdoor amenities add additional public space.
