Round Rock is one of Austin’s most popular suburbs. Being named one of America’s safest cities has attracted both local and relocating residents, and for good reason. The schools are top rated, housing is affordable and it’s close to Austin’s major employers. There is a wide range of housing available with everything from a basic starter home to a luxury home with high end finishes. Gated communities in Round Rock are a different subset and though there aren’t many, you do have choices in nearly every price range.

Arbor Place is the only fully gated, luxury community in Round Rock. Built in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s, floor plans are more modern and open. Inside you’ll find mostly granite and darker browns with some homes that have ben updated with Quartz and more modern colors. The neighborhood has about 100 homes, so it’s big enough to feel like a neighborhood but small enough to where you don’t have to drive 10 minutes after you enter the gate to get to your home. Homes are on the larger side, with some as large as 5,100 square feet, so they are perfect for someone that needs space. Lots are larger than what you’ll find in a master planned community built recently, but still manageable for someone to maintain. If you’re looking for a luxury gated community and want to stay in Round Rock, Arbor Place is a great place to start your search.
