The neighborhood sits on the west side of San Marcos, west of I-35 and south of the Texas State University campus, approximately 30 miles south of downtown Austin. Sunset Acres is bounded by residential areas along Hopkins Street to the north and commercial development along the I-35 corridor to the east. The subdivision was developed primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, with homes on tree-lined streets in a traditional grid layout.
Homes in Sunset Acres are predominantly single-story ranch-style and minimal traditional houses built between 1955 and 1975. Floor plans typically range from 900 to 1,400 square feet with two to three bedrooms on lots of 6,000 to 9,000 square feet. Resale prices generally range from $200,000 to $350,000, reflecting the smaller lot and home sizes relative to newer San Marcos subdivisions. Many homes feature brick or frame-and-siding exteriors, and a number of properties have been updated over the decades with new roofing, HVAC systems, and remodeled interiors. The neighborhood does not have a mandatory HOA.
