Leander's population is booming in recent years, bringing many builders to the area.
New subdivisions in Bryson Ridge
Built up as Leander exploded in population, Bryson Ridge provides quiet, newer subdivisions for those looking for suburban life outside of Austin. “Bryson Ridge is one of the best locations in Leander because of the connectivity of the roads,” says Sudhakar Karumuri, Broker and Owner of SKTX Inc. “With Route 183 being expanded, there’s a lot of population moving to that area.” The ability to commute, space to spread out and sense of serenity attract people to Bryson Ridge.
Contemporary and modern influences can be found within the architectural styles of Bryson Ridge.
Homes in Bryson and Palmera Ridge
Bryson Ridge is home to two newer subdivisions, with some older homes situated between them. The Bryson subdivision — the neighborhood’s namesake — holds the newest builds, including many just recently completed and waiting for their first occupants. These neo-eclectic homes showcase Craftsman and French Country characteristics and often sell between the mid-$300,000s and $1 million, based on size. Meanwhile, Palmera Ridge sits on the other side of the neighborhood and features homes built as early as the mid-2010s, as well as some new construction. These homes, with brick and stone exteriors, are generally smaller than Bryson and go between $400,000 and $900,000. Along County Road 270 and South Gabriel Drive, the older builds lack a consistent style and can date back from as old as the 1970s, costing anywhere from $300,000 to over $1 million.
North Elementary School is located in Leander, Texas.
Education in the Leander ISD
The Bryson Ridge neighborhood sits in the Leander Independent School District, an A-plus-rated district according to Niche. Kids in Bryson Ridge attend either North Elementary School or Tarvin Elementary School, before moving on to the A-minus-graded Wiley Middle School and Glenn High School, given a B. At Glenn, 57% of students meet grade-level performance on Texas standardized tests, compared to 49% across the state.
Locals can depend on the Leander Metro Rail to get into Downtown Austin.
Commuting via Route 183A and CapMetro
Bordered by the 183A toll road, Bryson Ridge residents have quick access to commuting routes south to Austin. Traffic often impacts the commute, with the nearly 30-mile journey taking longer during rush hour. “Covid really saw the growth,” Karumuri says. “People thought, if they weren’t driving every day, it was okay to go further… really about 90% of people drive to work now.” The Austin area’s CapMetro system serves Leander, both via bus route as well as the MetroRail Red Line, a commuter light rail service through the northwest suburbs. The Leander stop sits just two miles away from the neighborhood, where residents can park their cars for the day.
The Bryson Ridge Amenity Center features a large, gated pool for locals to enjoy.
“Amenity centers” within Bryson Ridge
Each of the subdivisions within Bryson Ridge have “amenity centers,” with plenty of things for residents to do. Hot days call for a dip in either the Bryson or Palmera Ridge pool, while the trails through Bryson are perfect for runners and walkers. Bryson even boasts a “director of fun” for community events, such as movie nights or block parties. And all residents of Bryson Ridge can take advantage of the events Leander has to offer, such as the town’s Christmas Festival.
The Thirsty Chicken offers mouth-watering fried chicken and plenty of outdoor seating.
Dining in Downtown Leander
Residents of Bryson Ridge lack any retail or dining within the bounds of their neighborhood, helping to preserve its quiet feel. But they don’t have to go far to find it, with Downtown Leander a short drive away. Right off US Highway 183 sits Mouton’s Southern Bistro, which offers Cajun classics, while nearby joint The Thirsty Chicken is the spot for daiquiris and wings with plenty of outdoor seating. A block away, Casa Costa Bake Shop serves Brazilian pastries and sweet treats. Locals do their shopping at H-E-B close to downtown, or drive down to Cedar Park with its Walmart and Costco.
