Life in Cedar Park’s Buttercup Creek, a suburb of Austin
A family-friendly Cedar Park community, Buttercup Creek provides residents with both suburban amenities and commuter conveniences. “The toll road, Highway 183, is being extended from Austin to Cedar Park, so that tells you that commuters are definitely using these roads to get in and out of the city,” says Evie Ellis, Broker with ATX Home Realty. “Development is taking off big time out here.” Not only does Highway 183 allow for a 20-mile ride into Downtown Austin, but it’s also lined with shopping centers and a variety of restaurants. Several pocket parks are scattered throughout Buttercup Creek, which is bookended by the four-laned Lakeline Boulevard and Bell Boulevard. In addition to green spaces, the highly rated Leander school district serves the community. “People will move here because it’s more suburban with better schools that have better programs and more to offer,” Ellis says.
A fast-growing suburb, Buttercup Creek draws families seeking space and quiet.
Families love Buttercup Creek for its quiet charm and suburban feel.
