Mary Catherine is a seventh-generation Texan whose ties to Austin date back to her great-grandfather serving as a state senator in the early 1900s. Mary Catherine loves Cherrywood, given its close proximity to bustling downtown while retaining its old Austin charm. The convenience of stopping by the dry cleaner, walking to the farmers market or a number of amazing restaurants and bars without going far is a luxury some neighborhoods just don’t have. The vibrancy of the neighborhood is evident thanks to friendly neighbors and dog walkers on their way to local coffee shops, parks or Maplewood Elementary. Mary Catherine has steadily grown her business year after year by focusing on relationships with her clients. She believes that open and honest communication is most important and she credits her wonderful clients for her success.

Mason QuintanaMy favorite neighborhood secret about Allandale is collectively called the “Outdoor Trainer.” Allandale is well known in the cycling community for being bike friendly. There is a loop on Shoal Creek and Great Northern where a cyclist can get plenty of saddle time without having to deal with too much traffic.
