Just north of downtown Austin is the charming community of Rosedale, with roots that date back to the 1860’s. What used to be farmlands in the late 19th century has developed into a cool community that offers a blend of housing styles with build dates ranging from the 1930’s and 1940’s to modern day renovations.
Rosedale had its beginnings as farm and dairy land in the 1860’s. Many of the trees in the shady neighborhood are remnants of the nursery stock brought to the area by florists who arrived in the 1900’s. Thanks to them, the community now offers many large, mature trees on the diverse landscapes of the homes. The unique landscaping and curb appeal make the community one of those quintessentially Austin neighborhoods.

Rosedale Homes for Sale
Many Rosedale homes have covered front porches that encourage the neighborly feel that is very apparent in this tightly-knit community. Unlike some of the more common floorplans today, most Rosedale homes have carports with driveways for only one vehicle. This design style is distinctive of the 1940’s and 50’s, when the majority of older homes were built in this community, and reflects a time when single car households were the norm.
