The city of Shady Hollow is a family-friendly neighborhood that was incorporated as its own municipality in Southwest Austin in 1978. It featured large homes that with spacious front and back yards shaded with trees. Shady Hollow has maintained its municipal independence over time, successfully fending off multiple attempts at annexation by the City of Austin.
Shady Hollow is located in Southwest Austin, just south of Slaughter Lane. Brodie Lane is the central vein of the neighborhood. El Dorado Trail marks the southern border of Shady Hollow and Squirrel Hollow Drive marks the northern border of the neighborhood. Doe Run is the eastern border and Lost Oasis Hollow is the western border. Several newer developments now surround Shady Hollow as the City of Austin expands rapidly southward.
Shady Hollow has a clubhouse, a swimming and wading pool, two basketball courts, four tennis courts, two nature trails, four parks, and four playscapes for kids. Slaughter Creek Metropolitan Park is also close by, and it has basketball courts, playscapes, hike and bike trails, a disc golf course and more. Students in Shady Hollow attend the new Baranoff Elementary School, Bailey Middle School and Bowie High School. There is a community pool and very active HOA which hosts parades and other events for holidays.
