Master planned communities are some of the most popular neighborhoods for home buyers looking for a suburban feel, community amenities and newer construction. Built in areas where there was no infrastructure, developers can create a community that incorporates the features today’s buyers want and still have a sense of uniformity. Because Austin is a fairly new city, we have several master planned communities in all areas of the city. Below we’ve given you links to our posts about master planned communities in each area of town. We’ve included the city of Austin and the surrounding suburbs.

Cedar Park and Leander Master Planned Communities
Cedar Park and Leander are two distinctly different towns, which is what attracts home buyers to the area. While Cedar Park has kept more of the suburban vibe with big box retailers, large communities and newer construction, Leander keeps more of a small town vibe. Though there are still master planned communities in Leander with a suburban vibe, the city itself is a mix of new, old, acreage and small lots.
