- In this video I'll be looking at a new construction in the Allandale neighborhood, in Austin.
Allandale is one of those classic Austin neighborhoods that's centrally located, but still feels like a neighborhood at heart.
The builder is Rivendale Homes.

Here's a link to another one of their homes I filmed.

If I'm buying a million dollar home I better not even see my neighbors for half a mile.
Lots of million dollar houses are close to each other and lots of people buy them jsyk
@@fayedyousef oh I know, I was just stating my preference. I rather have a home and land for a million. I want privacy, you gotta buz at the gate and come down my long ass driveway lol. One day...
Right, this video pissed me off
Million dollar house is now the upper middle class.. you get what you paid for
Dang just outside my range of $3
🤣🤣🤣
I glad to hear someone as excited about windows as I am, I wish I could live in a glass house, I love windows 😁
PRetty awesome house - I have to say, that doesnt feel like 3000 Sq Ft via video. So so far out of my price range, but always fun to look.
this home is not giving me million dollar vibes.. to b 1.3 is a joke.. I feel like it’s a 500-600k MAX.. the rooms are verrryyy small. I do like the modern black/white/natural wood aesthetic & the windows are bomb!
Coca SV I totally agree. 600k would seem fairly high. But here in Austin, the home doesn’t count! It’s the location!
I agree! the target buyers for this house are the people escaping the hell holes of new york and california who were comfortable paying 1.3 million for their tiny 1br condo and see this house as a mansion. they see 1.3 million for this much house as a deal they just can't pass on.
Its way too much but It’s the location. That land is more valuable than the house.
Beautiful home but $1.3M for 3003 sq ft? No thanks. I keep telling folks to look at the Cedar Park/Leander area. You get a lot of more house for less cost in a rapidly growing area. Many tech companies/ retailers (I.e the domain) are moving north Austin which is great for the local economy for these outlier cities and home values. It’s also great for commuting which continues to become problematic in Austin if your home and work are both in the north.
Also, I just find that the homes in cedar park/Leander area to be better as they are newer and an overall better bang for your buck. Again, lovey but I cannot justify the cost - especially given the trend of where employers are choosing to located and even relocate.
Cedar park is def a good recommendation but it’s they are very far out. And for ppl looking in Austin area don’t wanna go out there
I love the drop off/mud room area right off the garage!
Great review on a gorgeous house.
Very beautiful house dear friend
I used to have the hope I could one day afford a place in the neighborhood I live in, but not with these being built here. Too bad. Makes me feel sad
First time I’ve heard of a drop station, super cool idea! Great content, from a fellow realtor/creator in Michigan!
Beautiful Home
Can you please do a video/review on the Headwaters community in Dripping Springs 😊?
Walk across the living room to the kitchen with stuff from grocery run ... and secondary refrigerator; seems like it should’a been adjacent to the kitchen side which could double as butler’s pantry and overflow storage. Also would have like the garage to be set back with utility area, and the front door and such area not as recessed and the focused entry point. One central unit? Yard is not xeriscape - this will need to be redone, it’s June and we’re already near 100*. I would’a like frosted glass in the downstairs bathroom. I’d think the game room would be pretty noisy it being open to the downstairs, noise will reverberate against all those walls and glass. Heat rises, what will cool off that open hangout area in the 2nd floor. The upstairs bedrooms are mighty small. Would’a liked French or slider door (mimic the one in the living room) from dining area to back yard for ease of grilling, outdoor lifestyle so prized in the Austin area.
I delivered lumber to this house. Extremely over priced. More like took $180k to build. So I wouldn't pay more than $750k And its a stick build 🤦 I hope they pier and beam this home. Foundation issues in Austin are the worst I've ever seen in my life. Great video. I love Austin. Just moved to Florida with family due to the covid situation. Honestly, the schools in my location in Florida are better and taxes are close to 0. 🤣 but the weather sucks 😕 😫
Great 2nd floor, let's start there. Very tight and warm spaces. You want to curl up on a stormy night or a nice Saturday morning in that niche loft. The 2nd floor bathroom though, never understood double sinks, in a room that doesn't separate the W/C suite from the sinks... A bit too small on that 3rd room(an office) who wants to stuff a queen bed in that? Some thought to a 2nd floor balcony would have been great. Lots of east coast property have side balconies that keep the neighbor private but offer views above the side of the house, for all that open space over this entry. Now that entry.
A house of this size and caliber has to have a separate entry way; this house has zero entry way. You enter right into the great room, and that's a big issue. Secondly, I know that being Austin people think "farm". But that barn door immediately off the front door is just tacky. Why showcase the entryway to the garage and totally forget about the main door?! Those barn doors would have been better suited on the 2nd floor loft to provide some privacy for the niche should a public gathering be happening below.
The kitchen tucked into that corner is okay, if it wasn't the first thing you see opening the front door. "Okay Kitchen" seems more suited to the 32nd floor of a open plan high rise however. And as someone else noted, Why is it on the opposite end of the home? Maybe this is where that partitioning could have been done, by putting the great room in the kitchen space and returning the pantry and the food storage space back across near the butler's pantry and laundry. Better yet, move that laundry upstairs where it belongs in a house of this size. that being said. The 10 foot ceiling'd great room is lovely, if it wasn't part of the foyer. Columns? A Japanese screen, something needs to better partition that room. The first floor study is cool, but those windows are a bit too large. There's no room for bookcases. If windows were wanted maybe an window seat that extends from the profile of the exterior. Do we want our neighbors to see so much?
The House from the street is pretty. Though the over use of the horizontal lines are a bit of eye sore. Maybe change out the garage and front doors, to showcase the height of the home. Sure, its in a low slung rancho roof lined neighborhood, but the house fits (granted with some change out of the windows I mentioned above). The trees are numerous in this neighborhood, so you could probably tame the height with actual large scale garden approach. The front door could showcase succulents, and the outer garden walk could do some rock walls and some other shrubbery and vines. The backyard has great potential, as does the patio outdoor dinning room.
Very beautiful home
Great content, I like dynamic of in which you are stating the areas an word choice. I am looking for a mentor or coach nothing major jus an open ear wit clear feed back.
Dude you have the best realtor videos in Austin . I love this house I’ve seen it online , I gotta get my shit together lol all I need is a few million and a great job 😫. This house just needs a pool and a nice grilling area and it would be perfect in my opinion. One thing I don’t understand is why they use the top mounted garage openers instead of side mounted ones which granted are more expensive but are cool for places like this because you can add a low profile lift to store a sports car over the top of other cars since space is limited . I know sounds over the top no pun intended but a lot of people with houses like this have more then a two cars and don’t want them outside . Also it be cool to see them offer Tesla charging stations as an option which I understand can be added anyway just saying . Over all I’d put my self in debt for this house it’s great .
Nice dear friend
Great video quality for sure. What is your rig set up? Thx
For that price point the bedrooms are on the small side and the closets in the secondary bedrooms are especially small. As visually attractive as the railed balcony is the noise transmission from downstairs would way offset it. I think for a 3000sf home things could have been set out much better and still afforded ample privacy, noise suppression and still been full of light.
Would love to see home tours in Hyde Park. =D
You always do a nice job analyzing the homes, like pointing out the space between the upstairs bedrooms. I take it most homes in Austin (or maybe Texas in general) don’t have basements, is there a reason for that?
Hi J.E., On the west side, there's a lot of rock and that makes it expensive to break out enough depth for a basement. On the east side, our soil is expansive (hard on foundations / basements). It's certainly possible here, but mostly isn't done because of the added cost. Most people just find it easier to add square footage / second story, rather than deal with building a basement.
It’s a few feet of clay onto limestone bedrock.
Beautiful home! Can you explain why in many of the established neighborhoods in Austin, builders are building the large, expensive homes next to the small, inexpensive homes? How does it affect the taxes of those already there?
HI Patrice Hernandez, thanks for watching the channel. Infill builders like this typically build homes on the larger side because it's more profitable. Sometimes they have to, because the land in an area like Allandale is so expensive (usually it's a bit of both). From a cost perspective, the larger the home, the less the cost to build per foot (Once you have built the kitchens and baths, costs start dropping for additional square footage you build). In terms of taxes, remodels and new construction tend to sell for a higher price, so they are going to be seen as a higher "sales comp", which contributes to the overall valuation of the neighborhood. With that being said, every time someone pays a little more than the last person for a home in a neighborhood, it contributes to higher taxes. That's the way values rise.
@@WhereToLiveInAustin Got it! Thanks so much for the explanation!
magnificence💗
Love the tour!
Austin is headed to be like California over priced wood box. It's really what it is, give it about another 20 years.
agreed. its gonna be like the bay area... Austin is beautiful but I rather stay in Dallas.
Amazing house!
Love your videos! And I love the house!
Informative video as always. This house is not worth 1.3 IMO. You have far better homes for 1.3 million than this on your channel.
Keep up the magnificent work.
Love this house! Too bad it's already pending!
lovely home!
Love the house but I feel like it's too big and fancy for that neighborhood. Stands out against all the older single story homes surrounding it.
Once government forbearance runs out many houses will hit the market and lower these hyper inflated houses price's. After evictions are allowed again prices will drop
Houses in Austin are quite pricey
My favorite neighborhood in Austin! Lived there for 5 years and I regret not buying back in 2011... is there enough room for a pool on the lot? I can’t tell from the video
HI Alex D, I hear you, 2011 would have been a pretty good time to pick something up :-) . As for a pool, I think there's room for one.
1.3 And that’s the best fence and backyard you can come up with? Let’s travel 10 blocks up Lamar and you can find my house, and you can renovate it like this, but better yard and fencing.
Like this one
Whoa richie rich lives there
Good vid crack
Can you review twin creeks/deer creek in Northwest Austin?
This is pretty much aligned with Silicon Valley suburb pricing. You can't get into anything 'normal' for less than a million.
How can I know the schools zone?
Or the best schools in the area ??
To find were to live
Alejandro Srougo you can use greatschools.com they provide a basic school rating that can help you narrow down communities :)
Hey Ray, I tried to click your "Contact Link" to no avail.
Hey Kelsey, yeah sorry about that. Just call / text me 512-736-6687
Very pretty home love the exterior and layout in home. But this house looks odd in this neiborhood with all these older homes and actually for over a million the home not in that neiborhood and this home is way overpriced for the square footage and interior. I say sorry but your out of your mind if I'd pay that for this.
What type of flooring is throughout the house?
A million 3 for a one room house with bed rooms attached
I would not pay that much for this house. The outside itself looks cheap af with that siding/board and batten, barn doors, etc. the white cabinetry is ok but with the black hardware it looks cheap. Just my two cents.
Not worth the price the neighbors house is not even a million.
As a native Austinite, I like your channel but it makes me sad.
Can you give me your best estimate of how much a house like this would cost if it was in a cheaper area (Leander/Georgetown)?
Nice, new construction, quality homes in the Leander area are going for, top end, $175/square foot. So in the neighborhood of $500-$600K for this house, there.
Lovely home but too close to the neighbors for this price point.
This is not even a half-mill home... 420K at best
No basement??
This is emblematic of what’s wrong with central Austin real estate. This house is listed at $450/square foot. That’s much closer to CA pricing than anywhere else in Texas. And this house is just clad in siding! Not even any nice, quality masonry or rock that could drive up the construction cost.
Hi anniewoodie, yes, no question central Austin pricing is closer to parts of California than Texas. However, with regard to the siding vs stone… IMO that’s really a function of style, more than cost. The “Chip and Joanna” farmhouse look is extremely popular around here. I’m seeing a ton of builders going with that look right now and the market is eating it up. There are entire subdivisions built around the “Modern Farmhouse” look. Love it or hate it, it’s the current trend in houses, at least around Austin. The extra cost of stone or brick isn't why they went with siding, it’s about the look.
Agreed, the only thing that is more than basic is the master closet... you're really just paying for the area
Why would you pay a million for something this small ?
Hi but one of the room doesn't have an attach washroom and their is no basement I think so.
You will not find homes in Austin with basements because of flooding. Instead, newer homes have second living areas.
That’s ridiculously priced. We bought our home brand new in Dec 2015 in a brand new community it’s 3257 sq feet with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. That house is not worth a million dollars. The crime is high in Austin too.
You can be the most hated neighbor on the block moving in from California buying a 1,300,000 dollar house, raising property taxes, and continuing to vote democrat even though that's what ruined the state you came from.
Preach. This is Soooo true. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
well i think being democrat is not bad...but there has to be a balance that californians forgot. be liberal on social views but conservative on economy.
We said this in Colorado in the 90s. Look at it now. Totally overpacked, full of rioters.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
1.3 Hmmm it a NO the Kitchen and living area is too small and the kitchen design is not that attractive $1.3million house why all the space at the backyard when you could make a big living space This house will be listed at most 700,000 What is Austin even become of.
