New construction homes by Austin suburb

The city itself · Austin ISD

The city has more new homes than any suburb, but they are concentrated in the eastern crescent rather than the core: 78747 and 78744 in the southeast carry the largest share by a wide margin, followed by 78754, 78702, 78704, and 78745.

Roughly $300,000 to well over $2 million for new construction
