About Brodie
Brodie is a collection of residential subdivisions along the Brodie Lane corridor in southwest Austin, Travis County. The area runs along Brodie Lane between approximately William Cannon Drive to the north and West Slaughter Lane to the south, with MoPac Expressway (Loop 1) to the west and Manchaca Road to the east. The small incorporated city of Sunset Valley (population 683 per the 2020 Census, incorporated in 1954) sits along the northern edge of the corridor.
The Brodie area developed over several decades. Shady Hollow, one of the larger sub-communities, began construction in the 1970s with newer sections continuing through the early 2000s. Brodie Springs, a 114-home community built by Grand Haven Homes and Taylor Morrison between 2006 and 2012, features homes ranging from approximately 2,597 to 5,350 square feet. Brodie Heights, a condominium development by D.R. Horton established in 2007, adds a townhome option to the corridor. The housing stock across the broader area includes single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes spanning construction eras from the 1970s through the 2010s.
There is no single HOA for the entire Brodie area. Individual sub-communities maintain their own associations — Brodie Springs has a dedicated HOA, and Estates of Shady Hollow has a separate HOA. HOA requirements and fees vary by sub-community. The City of Austin has a Brodie Lane Preliminary Engineering Report underway as part of the BSW Corridors mobility study, focused on improving traffic flow and multimodal access along the corridor.
