Dale offers a country feel in the greater Austin area
Dale is one of several mostly rural communities located many miles south of Austin. “A lot of the properties out there just have more acreage. They’re relatively just larger lots and [offer] more of a country feel than in the city,” says Maria Mondragon, a Realtor with All City Real Estate. “And more privacy. They just got more privacy and breathing room, in general.” Along with the seclusion, the extra space allows some people to keep animals and do activities like off-roading. Dale is also flatter than many of the communities in nearby Texas Hill Country, a region known for its rugged and rocky terrain. The flatter land may appeal to greater Austin area buyers looking for easier grounds to farm. “It’s a completely different area geographically,” says Sam Billings, a broker with Coldwell Banker S.G. Billings Realtors. “Some people like the more farming-type soil.”
Dale, Texas offers a quiet and rural lifestyle away from the city yet close enough to enjoy the perk nearby.
Dale is conveniently located 30 to 40 minutes from the Austin city limits.

Buyers will find many ranch-style and manufactured homes
Housing in the area includes ranch-style homes, farmhouses and manufactured homes located off quiet and narrow country roads. Fencing surrounds many properties, which can go from just under 1 acre to well over 10 acres. In addition to animals, the extra land makes room for farm equipment, children’s playsets, trampolines and multiple cars. Single-family homes that are either under 2,000 square feet or on about 1 acre or less can sell from $290,000 to $430,000. Larger homes on bigger lots can run between $500,000 and $850,000. Manufactured homes mostly go from $210,000 to $450,000, but some on multi-care lots can reach $700,000.
Many neighborhoods throughout Dale offer manufactured homes with great sized lots.

Mom and pop spots serve up Mexican fare
Several mom and pop restaurants dot the area’s farmland. “There’s really a lot of small businesses out there. There are a lot of taco trucks and small restaurants,” Mondragon says. “You really don’t have to go far anymore.” One of those places is La Taqueria Los MiniTacos, which serves Mexican fare from a red shack under a pavilion. Patrons order at a window and can eat at one of the picnic tables outside. Located in a repurposed house, La Nena Taqueria y Mucho Mas offers more Hispanic comfort foods. For more dining and shopping options, residents can visit Lockhart, less than 10 miles west. Chains in the nearby city include an H-E-B grocery store.
