An escape from city life
With expansive parks, trail systems and the eponymous creek, Slaughter Creek is a growing community. Yet, “It has a very established feeling,” says Maura Hawkins, a Coldwell Banker Realtor with 30 years of experience. With outdoor amenities and more, living in Austin's outskirts is a welcomed escape from the city. Along with a slightly lower cost of living comes homes that are more affordable, they offer more square footage and larger front and back yards. No matter where residents live in Slaughter Creek, they can walk or bike to a neighborhood park, or even the sprawling Bauerle Ranch Park. While it’s surrounded by green space, proximity to I-35 means the neighborhood is also close to plenty of shopping and dining options.
Locals can make use of the hiking trails surrounding Bauerle Ranch in Slaughter Creek.

Contemporary Craftsman with stone details
Within Slaughter Creek, there are many smaller subdivisions like Great Oaks at Slaughter Creek and Mercado Heights. “It’s not cookie-cutter,” says Hawkins. “Each division has its own personality.” Many homes in the neighborhood are brick contemporary Craftsman with large garages and often feature a stone veneer and masonry siding. The grids of houses often result in a cul-de-sac. A 1985 three-bedroom, two-bathroom home on a wooded lot will sell for around $350,000 while a 2007 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home in the desirable Broadie Springs subdivision could go for as high as $980,000.
