Close to the best Austin has to offer
Far enough from the rush of the city but close enough to commute, Cherry Creek is a quiet, established area. “There is a very strong neighborhood feel in Chery Creek,” says Jennifer Buterick Gonzales, a Broker Associate with Legacy Real Estate Group and resident of Southwest Austin. “You’re not going to see a ton of commercial businesses and restaurants, but you are within 10 to 20 minutes of really the best that Austin has to offer.” One of the more affordable neighborhoods outside of the city, Cherry Creek is attracting homebuyers who work in Downtown Austin but don’t necessarily want to live there.
Cherry Creek has pockets of newly developed areas within the neighborhood.

From fixer-uppers to brand new builds
Many of the houses in the neighborhood are ranch-style with attached garages, but there are plenty of two-story family homes, especially classic Craftsman. “These homes have been around starting as early as the 70s to 80s,” says Buterick Gonzales. “So, they’ve been remodeled over time, but still have big established trees and a lot of character.” Homes tend to have small to midsized lots that are sometimes wooded or in cul-de-sacs. A three-bed, two-bath fixer-upper could go for around $359,000 and a newly built contemporary home will sell for around $1,000,000.

Seeing green in every direction
Garrison Park is a popular spot thanks to the community pool, but it offers a playground and basketball court as well. According to Buterick Gonzales, residents will often travel outside of the neighborhood to explore the outdoors, “If you go 10 or 15 minutes, you can be in five different parks, greenbelts or trails because we are such an outdoorsy city.”
