About Zip Code 78756
Zip code 78756 covers a compact section of central Austin between 45th Street on the south, Anderson Lane on the north, Burnet Road on the east, and MoPac Expressway (Loop 1) on the west. The area includes the neighborhoods of Rosedale, Brentwood, and portions of Allandale. These neighborhoods developed primarily in the late 1940s and 1950s as post-war housing tracts, and they retain their mid-century character with modest ranch-style homes, large pecan and oak trees, and grid-street layouts. Burnet Road, the zip code's eastern boundary, has undergone a significant commercial transformation over the past decade, evolving from auto repair shops and strip malls into one of Austin's most active restaurant and retail corridors.
Real estate in 78756 is predominantly single-family homes on lots ranging from 6,000 to 9,000 square feet. Original unrenovated 1950s ranch homes in Rosedale and Brentwood start around $500K but are increasingly rare. Renovated or expanded homes list from $650K to over $1 million, and new construction on tear-down lots can exceed $1.2 million. The neighborhood's central location and walkability to Burnet Road businesses have made it one of the most competitive markets in Austin for single-family buyers. Condos and duplexes along Burnet Road and near 45th Street range from $300K to $500K. The area has seen considerable infill development, with older homes being replaced by modern two-story designs.
Students in 78756 attend Austin ISD schools. Bryker Woods Elementary and Gullett Elementary serve the area, feeding into Lamar Middle School and then McCallum High School.

McCallum High School houses the Fine Arts Academy, drawing students from across the district for dance, theater, visual arts, and music. The University of Texas at Austin is approximately 10 minutes south, and Austin Community College's Highland campus is about 10 minutes east.
The zip code is one of the most centrally located in Austin. Downtown is approximately 10 minutes south via Lamar Boulevard or MoPac. The Burnet Road corridor from 45th Street to Anderson Lane has over 100 restaurants and shops, including Barley Swine, Uchiko, and the Little Deli.

The Shoal Creek Greenbelt runs near the southeastern edge of the zip code, and the Violet Crown Trail is accessible about 15 minutes west. MoPac provides direct highway access to both north and south Austin, and the Koenig Lane and Anderson Lane east-west corridors connect to I-35.
