A community of longtime neighbors
Eight miles south of Austin, the neighborhood of Bluff Springs is a modest, convenient community south of the city. “Everything is about fifteen minutes from here,” says Kyle Chapman, owner of Ostinato Music Lessons. “We were looking initially in Buda and Kyle, but we found it’s a little too far from our friends and places we like to frequent.” The area’s older homes are mostly ranch-style, while newer developments feature two-story connected condos. The neighborhood's south end is a spread-out sprawl of mostly two-lane roads, and the north end is a patchwork of somewhat gridded streets that eventually weave or rewind onto themselves. Throughout its entirety, the area is a rural mix of residents, small businesses and big box stores.
Bluff Springs offers contemporary condos with urban flair.
Enjoy Bluff Springs' quiet streets and scenic surroundings.

Old ranch-style homes and new condos
Bluff Springs homes mostly come in the form of ranch-style homes on quarter-acre lots or two-story condos without front yards. To keep out the Texan summer sun, homes utilize smaller windows, foregoing wide glass canvases with vistas of the surrounding landscape. With most homes built after 2000, the supply of newly constructed or newly updated homes is abundant. Prices range from $250,000 for a two-bedroom condo to $400,000 for a four-bedroom ranch-style home on a quarter-acre lot. Chapman says one of the reasons for more new homes being available is that many neighbors have owned their homes for twenty years or more. “It’s one of the last bastions of old, working-class Austin. Where people are owners instead of renters.”

Eight miles south of Austin
Sidewalks follow many of the roads throughout Bluff Springs, but some streets go without in the less densely populated areas. Still, as the neighborhood lies along a two-mile stretch of Interstate 35 and downtown Austin is an eight-mile trip up the interstate, owning a car is paramount for residents.
Interstate 35 allows for convenient travel to and from Bluff Springs.
The Texas State Capitol is just a short distance away.

Big box stores and little taco shops
The area has a robust mixture of small, local businesses and national chains, both for dining and shopping. A small pocket of commerce at the intersection of E Slaughter Ln and I-35 is home to a Home Depot, an IHOP and Austin-based Don Dario’s Cantina. Further north, along Bluff Springs Rd, residents can choose from a handful of small restaurants and food trucks like Secret Taco Stand, which serves up specials such as their Flaming Beef Tacos or Birria Ramen. For groceries, residents have Target and Walmart in Southpark Meadows, just on the other side of the interstate, or HEB and a few local stores near the intersection of E William Cannon Dr and I-35.
Bluff Springs offers a diverse selection of retail stores for residents.

Parks for people and pooches
The neighborhood has a healthy selection of parks to choose from. Kids can hit the little climbing wall or the twirly slide at the playground of Kendra Page Park, which also offers benches, trails and a volleyball court. Thanks to the Wilder Large Dog Park and Dog Ranch South Austin, dog owners have a few spots where their pooch can run around and socialize. For a more extensive park, the Mary Moore Searight Metropolitan Park gives residents miles of trails, a scenic little waterfall and a wildflower meadow for connecting with nature.
Mary Moore Park offers amazing green space for residents and their four legged friends.
