On the cusp of Austin and Pflugerville, near bustling Tech Ridge
Split between booming Tech Ridge and the growing suburban escape of Pflugerville, Northtown is among the most established tech suburbs in the northern reaches of Austin. Whether they have an Austin address or a Pflugerville address, residents of Northtown are largely drawn to the area for its proximity to major employers and commercial hotspots, coupled with vast outdoor spaces in its master-planned subdivisions. "They have a lot of commercial so it's helping build up the residential prices around it," says Realtor LJ Sternberg of LJ Residential LLC. "East of Tech Ridge are areas of town that people haven't been considering in the past. But if you keep going down Parmer Lane, you're going to run into Cisco, you'll run into Samsung — there's just a lot of behemoth-type technology companies popping up over there."

New and established suburbs with master-planned features
Consisting of numerous master-planned subdivisions, Northtown is chock full of homes built in the 1990s through today. Most streets are lined with modern traditional architecture, often in the form of single-story snout houses or two-story homes with multicar garages. Driveways and garage space are coveted in this commuter-heavy neighborhood. “It’s part of an area that’s growing really fast, but it’s got a lot of established homes,” says Marielle Mae Rondubio, a Realtor with Teifke Real Estate. “It’s ideal for people who want all the suburban amenities without being too far from downtown." Prices generally range from $300,000 to $500,000, though certain subdivisions fetch different prices. For example, homes in Fort Dessau often sell for $400,000 to $500,000 while those in Brookfield often sell for $300,000 to $425,000. In the Dessau Fountain Estates, manufactured homes begin around $65,000.
Snout houses can be found throughout Northtown.

Commuter routes, rideshare and CapMetro buses
Northtown is popular with commuters. For some, the drive to Tech Ridge employers — such as Qualcomm or General Motors — takes only a few minutes when traffic is light. “Northtown is also convenient to the major employers around Round Rock and North Austin, like Dell,” Rondubio says. For those who work in downtown Austin, Interstate 35 offers a direct route, a little over 12 miles. Compared to the rest of Pflugerville, which does not have much public transportation, Northtown affords a few options. Residents are within reach of the city's Pfetch a Ride program, which allows rideshare users to make one-way trips within city limits for a flat rate of $4. Additionally, the Tech Ridge Park & Ride offers CapMetro bus service even as a Pflugerville resident.

Acres of park in residents' backyards at Stoney Creek Park
Wildflower Park and Northtown Park, both built along Harris Branch Creek, help connect many of the subdivisions with a network of paved walking trails and cut-through paths. Wildflower Park, in particular, is popular for walks around its mile-long loop trail, which leads to numerous playgrounds. Stoney Creek Park is a mainstay for social activities like disc golf, dog park meetups and soccer or volleyball matches. Some subdivisions also offer their own recreation amenities, such as the Fort Dessau Amenity Center or the community park at Lakes of Northtown, plus the pool and dog park in Brookfield Estates.
Stoney Creek Park requires dogs to be kept on leash when outside the dog park.

Things to consider
Harris Branch Creek slices southeastward across Northtown, creating some flood zones along its course. A few residential streets push up against these flood zones, although few homes are built within them. The city of Austin's Fire Department Wildfire Division gives Northtown an elevated potential of surface fires, which are typically easier to contain and do less damage than crown fires. And when compared against other Pflugerville neighborhoods, crime is a bit higher in Northtown due to its shared borders with busy commercial areas. But despite the above-average CAP Index score, most subdivisions have a neighborhood watch program to help improve visibility.
