Gogo's take on Berdoll Farms
“Go. Berdoll Farms is a peaceful, family-centric residential neighborhood in southeast Austin with low violent crime rates. While very safe to walk around, it is purely a residential tract subdivision with minimal commercial or tourist attractions inside the neighborhood itself.”
About the area
Berdoll Farms is a master-planned community located in the Del Valle area of southeast Travis County, just east of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Composed of early-2000s single-family homes, community parks, and neighborhood amenity facilities, it offers quiet suburban living.

Walking and biking in Berdoll Farms

Internal subdivision streets are easy for casual riding, but there are no dedicated bike lanes connecting outward to Austin's urban trail network without riding on busy perimeter roads.
Reasons to go, and reasons to think twice
Pros

- Heavy car dependence with no major retail or dining options within comfortable walking distance
- Bordered by high-speed rural thoroughfares like Ross Road and SH 130
