What this looks like here.
McNeil is the stretch of far-northwest Austin built out along McNeil Drive between US-183 and Parmer Lane, almost entirely inside the 78729 ZIP. The name traces back to the old McNeil railroad stop; the housing is what northwest Austin produced from the late 1970s through the early 2000s — practical one- and two-story brick and stone homes on real lots, organized into established master-planned sections rather than the gated custom enclaves you find farther west. Most of our McNeil work falls into three patterns: a tech-corridor family moving up within 78729 (Hunters Chase to Rattan Creek, say), a relocation into the area drawn by the 183/Parmer job cluster, or a long-time owner downsizing out of a 1980s home they raised a family in.
This is our home turf in the most literal sense — our North Austin office sits at 7218 McNeil Dr, Ste 405, on the same road the neighborhood is named for. We are not driving in from across town to your McNeil move; the trucks stage minutes away. Move-day timing here hinges on US-183 and Parmer Lane, both of which stack hard 7:30 to 9:00 AM and 4:00 to 6:00 PM with the tech-campus commute. We pick start times that miss the stack so the crew works instead of idling on the clock.
MCNEIL · NORTH AUSTIN
Neighborhoods + property
Inside the boundary.
Rattan Creek is the largest single section — roughly 2,800 homes north of McNeil Drive, technically outside Austin city limits and served by North Austin MUD #1, which runs the utilities, deed restrictions, and Rattan Creek Park (community center, pool, tennis and basketball courts at Tamayo and Dallas Drive). Production homes mostly 1980s through 1990s, RRISD-zoned. The MUD status matters for us mainly because trash, recycling, and some deed-restriction questions route through the district rather than the City — worth confirming for POD or dumpster placement.
Milwood straddles 78729/78727 around McNeil Road; the portion north of McNeil is effectively Rattan Creek, the central portion runs south toward the Riata office park. Hunters Chase, east off McNeil Drive at 183 (Pond Springs Road), is a tree-lined 1980s–90s section — typical home around four bedrooms and roughly 2,200 square feet, brick exteriors, many now updated inside. Anderson Mill sits just to the west, McNeil Estates and Northwood carry some of the older, larger-lot 1970s–80s stock with brick ranches and a few two-story Colonials.
The job draw is the Parmer Lane tech corridor: Apple's campus off West Parmer and the long-running 7700 Parmer office park (PayPal, eBay, Electronic Arts and others) put thousands of commuters within a 10-to-15-minute drive of every McNeil section. Lakeline Mall (US-183 at RR 620) and the Lakeline CapMetro rail station anchor the retail and transit edge to the northwest.
Schools families reference: McNeil High School (5720 McNeil Road, a Round Rock ISD IB World school), Deerpark Middle and Pearson Ranch Middle, and elementaries including Pond Springs, Anderson Mill, Forest North, and Purple Sage. Most of 78729 is Round Rock ISD — but the city/ISD boundaries weave through this area, so we verify the zoned schools per address rather than assume.

Why we fit this market
The local fit.
McNeil is the one sub-area where "local movers" is not marketing language — our North Austin office is 7218 McNeil Dr, Ste 405, Austin TX 78729, on the same road the neighborhood is named for. When a Rattan Creek or Hunters Chase move books, the crew isn't fighting cross-town traffic to reach you; they're staging minutes away, which means tighter arrival windows, shorter drive time billed against your hourly rate, and a team that already knows how 183 and Parmer behave at 8 AM versus 2 PM. Local moves here are billed hourly with a 2-hour minimum, prorated in 15-minute increments, and you get a written estimate before the truck rolls.
We crew McNeil work to match it. A 4-person crew turning a 2,200-square-foot Hunters Chase brick home with normal driveway access is one job; a downsize out of an older McNeil Estates two-story with a gun safe in the garage and a piano in the front room is another. We size truck and crew before the date is confirmed. For Parmer-corridor office and commercial moves that require a Certificate of Insurance for the building, we file it naming the property manager as additional insured — typical COI turnaround is 24 to 48 hours. USDOT 2105156, TxDMV 006568203C go on every COI we issue.
Move planning tips
Plan specifically.
- 01
Schedule around the 183/Parmer commute stack.
US-183 and Parmer Lane both jam 7:30 to 9:00 AM and 4:00 to 6:00 PM with tech-campus traffic. Because we stage out of the McNeil Dr office, an early-morning or mid-day start keeps the crew working instead of crawling — we pick the window for you.
- 02
Flag Rattan Creek MUD placement for PODs and dumpsters.
Rattan Creek sits outside Austin city limits under North Austin MUD #1, so trash, recycling, and some deed-restriction rules route through the district. If you want a POD or dumpster on the driveway, we confirm the placement rules — verify the specific restriction per address.
- 03
Send a driveway and access photo.
Most 78729 sections have standard suburban driveways the 26-footer reaches easily, but mature trees and tighter 1980s cul-de-sacs in spots like Hunters Chase can change the approach. A quick photo tells us whether to bring the big truck to the door or stage and shuttle.
- 04
Use Lakeline for supplies and staging.
Lakeline Mall and the big-box retail at US-183 and RR 620 are within about 10 minutes of every McNeil section — a convenient stop if you want packing supplies, water, or move-day food added to the plan.
- 05
Confirm the zoned school before you commit to a section.
Most of 78729 is Round Rock ISD and feeds McNeil High, but the city/ISD lines weave through this area and a few pockets fall to different campuses. If schools are driving the move, verify the zoned elementary and middle school for the exact address — we can't, and won't, guess that for you.
- 06
Book summer move windows early.
Families with school-age kids cluster their McNeil moves into June, July, and the first two weeks of August. Those dates fill 6 to 8 weeks ahead. In-school-year moves are workable; we just schedule arrivals to miss the afternoon commute and release traffic.
