About Leander ISD

Leander ISD is one of the fastest-growing districts in the Austin area, covering roughly 200 square miles across Leander, Cedar Park, parts of Northwest Austin, Georgetown, and Jonestown. The district runs 49 total campuses — 28 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, 6 high schools, and a handful of specialty campuses, including Early College High School, New Hope High School, and the Ada Mae Faubion School for Early Childhood — and employs more than 6,000 educators and staff, making it one of the largest employers in the area. With more than 42,000 students enrolled, Leander ISD is consistently rated among the top school districts near Austin.

What Homes Look Like

Homes zoned to Leander ISD range from established 1990s and 2000s neighborhoods closer to Cedar Park and Northwest Austin to newer master-planned communities pushing north and west toward Leander proper and Georgetown. Buyers looking for resale homes with mature trees and larger lots tend to look toward the district’s older, in-town neighborhoods, while those wanting new construction — often with resort-style amenity centers, on-site elementary schools, and smaller lots — gravitate toward the newer developments where much of the district’s recent growth (and its rezoning pressure) is concentrated. At a median of $211.68 per square foot, Leander ISD remains one of the more attainable highly-rated districts in the Austin area, though the mix skews newer and larger than close-in Austin, which keeps overall price points moderate to upper-moderate rather than entry-level.

Growth & Realignment

Like a lot of fast-growing districts, Leander ISD is managing growth and enrollment shifts at the same time — closing an aging, under-enrolled campus in one part of the district while planning a brand-new high school for another. Here’s what buyers should know about both.

Faubion Elementary Closed for 2026-27

On February 5, 2026, the Leander ISD board voted to close Faubion Elementary at the end of the 2025-26 school year as part of a long-range facilities plan. Under the approved rezoning (“Scenario B”), students previously zoned to Faubion have been split between Reed Elementary and Westside Elementary based on home address, with the district’s official school locator tool used to confirm each address’s new assignment. The Faubion campus itself isn’t going away: New Hope High School is planned to relocate to the site, with construction expected to begin in spring 2027 using 2023 bond funds, and the Faubion name lives on through the Ada Mae Faubion School for Early Childhood, the district’s first early childhood center. If you’re considering a home in a neighborhood that was previously zoned to Faubion, we can help you confirm its current elementary assignment before you write an offer.

A Future High School 7

On the growth side, Leander ISD is planning a seventh high school near the intersection of FM 2243 and CR 175 on the district’s west side. The project is still in the design phase — the board approved an architect and construction manager back in 2023, and design work has been partially funded through Bond 2017 and Bond 2023 — but construction itself awaits a future bond, and the district’s own timeline points to a 2029-30 opening at the earliest. It’s not a school that will affect boundaries anytime soon, but it’s a sign of where the district expects continued growth in the years ahead.

A 4-Year Perspective

Zooming out helps put the current market in context. Here’s how the Leander ISD single-family market has moved over the past four school-year-aligned periods, based on MLS closed sales:

The pattern is clear: prices peaked in FY 2023-24 and have eased gradually for two straight years, while days on market have grown from a brisk 30 days to 46 — still a healthy pace, but a meaningfully slower one than the pandemic-era rush. Sales volume, meanwhile, bounced back to 2,865 homes in FY 2025-26, the highest of the four years, suggesting more sellers are testing the market even as prices soften slightly.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy?

Leander ISD’s market tells a similar story to a lot of nearby districts right now: prices have eased gradually for two straight years, but homes are still selling at a healthy clip. For buyers, that combination — more inventory, slightly softer prices, and more time to decide — tends to favor a patient, well-prepared approach over rushing into the first showing.

How to Buy a Home in Leander ISD

• Get pre-approved first. With homes taking longer to sell but still moving at a healthy pace, a pre-approval letter lets you move quickly on the right home without scrambling once you find it.
• Confirm the exact school zoning before you fall in love with a home. The recent Faubion rezoning is a reminder that boundaries can shift, especially in the district’s faster-growing pockets — always verify current zoning against the district’s official locator tool rather than assuming a listing’s stated schools are current.
• Decide between new construction and resale early. Newer, west-side neighborhoods tend to offer more amenities and smaller lots at a given price point; established neighborhoods closer to Cedar Park and Northwest Austin often come with larger lots and more mature landscaping.
• Use the extra time on market to your advantage. With days on market up from 30 to 46 over four years, there’s less pressure to waive inspections or escalate blindly — a good local agent can help you negotiate repairs or price adjustments where appropriate.
• Watch new construction incentives. Builders in growing pockets of the district frequently offer rate buy-downs or closing cost credits, which can meaningfully offset the higher price per square foot of new homes.
