About Granada Estates
Granada Estates is a residential subdivision in southwest Austin located just west of the Oak Hill intersection of US Highway 290 and FM 1826. The neighborhood is accessed from Highway 290 on El Rey Boulevard, situated between the adjacent Granada Hills subdivision to the east and Granada Oaks to the west. Development occurred from the mid-1970s through the late 1980s, producing predominantly single-story ranch-style homes on lots averaging approximately one acre, with some parcels extending to 1.5 acres or more.
The three Granada neighborhoods — Granada Hills (1970s), Granada Estates (mid-1970s to late 1980s), and Granada Oaks (2007–2013) — share a voluntary community association administered by the Granada Hills Homeowners Association. Annual membership dues are approximately $60 and provide access to a community swimming pool at 9002 El Rey Boulevard, tennis courts, and a children's play area. The association also organizes an annual Fourth of July parade and community garage sales.
Granada Estates is zoned for Austin ISD. The school feeder pattern runs through Baldwin Elementary, Gorzycki Middle School, and Bowie High School, one of the largest comprehensive high schools in the district with a 60-acre campus in southwest Austin. Homes in the subdivision are a mix of single-story ranch styles, two-story traditional designs, and custom builds on large, tree-shaded lots. The area's one-acre lot norm and rural character distinguish it from the denser subdivisions in surrounding southwest Austin.
