Outlying suburbs conjoin growth in Pflugerville and Tech Ridge
Dessau falls into the unincorporated area north of Austin that conjoins two rapidly developing areas: Pflugerville and Tech Ridge. Although it's technically under Austin control, Dessau uses Pflugerville addresses. Consequently, most residents agree that the established neighborhoods and master-planned subdivisions of Dessau are more akin to Pflugerville than Tech Ridge. Either way, Dessau residents benefit from both worlds: the large parks, rich diversity and suburban spirit of Pflugerville, and the countless employers and explosive commercial development of Tech Ridge.
Craftsman ranchers in Dessau offer open layouts and classic single-story designs.

Commuter suburb of snout houses and attached garages
"Central and South Pflugerville are, for the most part, older neighborhoods," says Miriam Moorman, a Realtor with Fathom Realty. "They are captured within the confines of Interstate 35 to the west, State Highway 130 to the east, 45 to the north, and Parmer Lane to the south." In Dessau, housing options primarily include established non-HOA neighborhoods and master-planned subdivisions like Cantarra Meadows and Greenwood, the latter with their own HOAs. Non-HOA neighborhoods include the communities of Dessau Estates, Bluebonnet Acres and Pflugerville Estates. Homes in these communities consist of midcentury and Craftsman-style ranchers built in the 1970s through the ’90s, with prices ranging from $200,000 to $600,000. Over in the master-planned subdivisions, modern design trends include a choice between single-story snout houses and two-story homes with built-in garages. Prices can range from $315,000 to $400,000 in a subdivision like Greenwood or $300,000 to $450,000 in Cantarra Meadows.
Many homes in Dessau feature built-in garages for added convenience and security.

BMX tracks and splash pads at Northeast Metropolitan Park
Northeast Metropolitan Park and its sprawling 420 acres serve as the primary recreation spot for residents of Dessau. In addition to a variety of park amenities, such as playgrounds, picnic tables, ball fields, a splash pad and multiuse trails, the park also includes a host of unique fixtures, like the Capitol City BMX Track, which offers practices, races and clinics all sanctioned by USABMX. Adrenaline junkies can also roll through the skate park. Closer to home, planned subdivisions like Cantarra Meadows have their own pools and playgrounds for resident use.
Diverse food truck villages and neighborhood barbecue meetups
Tucked away on an unassuming residential streetcorner, Red's Smoking BBQ is the obvious choice for locals looking to fill up on brisket or entertain a large group with catering options. Beyond barbecue, the multiculturalism of North Austin and Pflugerville collide in Dessau, providing a well-stocked array of international food. In the southwest corner of the neighborhood, a small but mighty food truck village offers everything from Mediterranean food at Al Demashqi to Mexican food at Taqueria Salena to Asian food at...Asian Food. "Diversity and equity are a key driver of our inclusive growth and vibrant community," Toledo says. "That's certainly something we bring up to new businesses that want to come here." A JD's Supermarket is the closest option for groceries and specialty Latin items, though most residents often travel a little over 4 miles west to the commercial bastion of Tech Ridge.

Quick drives to Tech Ridge employers and Downtown Austin
Dessau is a popular commuter suburb because of its location between two major highways: Interstate 35 to the west and the Pickle Parkway, a toll road, to the east. But some residents don't have to travel far for major employers including General Motors, Qualcomm and the Samsung Semiconductor, all less than 5 miles away. Public transportation options include a CapMetro park-and-ride stop on Center Ridge Drive.
Slice of Pflugerville's culinary world tour
The City of Pflugerville maintains a busy calendar of events throughout the year. Its newest installment is the Slice of Pflugerville, an international food festival featuring an array of restauranteurs and vendors from across Austin. "We bring in food trucks with a variety of cultural foods, and people can buy a passport and try food from all the different options," Toledo says. "We've also had entertainers from all cultures, from Chinese dragon dancers to African drums." The HOAs in Dessau's master-planned subdivisions are also a common source of community engagement all year long.
A brand new middle school next door
Although the area is technically under the jurisdiction of Austin, students in Dessau attend Pflugerville schools. They begin at Dessau Elementary, which has a Niche rating of C. After that, students are split between Dessau Middle School, rated C-plus, and the district's newest school, as-yet-unrated Bohls Middle School, which opened in January of 2022. Students living in non-HOA neighborhoods attend Connally High School, rated B, while students living in Dessau's planned subdivisions attend Weiss High School, rated B-minus.
Dessau Elementary School is a popular choice for families residing in Dessau.
Many Dessau residents have children attending nearby Dessau Middle School.

Things to consider
As subdivisions like Greenwood continue to be built up, residents can expect the normal factors that follow construction — namely, noise and traffic. Dessau also contains some flood zones that slice southwestward along Harris Branch Creek, although there are few homes within these zones.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
