Affordability for commuters and students north of Austin
With its booming tech sector, Austin has seen real estate prices skyrocket, which has sent area professionals looking for more affordable options that are still within easy commuting distance. As a result, towns that were once just afterthoughts on the highway have blossomed into thriving communities. Such is the case with the Devine Lake neighborhood of Leander, situated 40 miles north of downtown Austin. “A lot of families are leaving Austin and moving to the area because it’s so much more affordable,” says Round Rock-based Realtor Michelle Mohr, who has a decade’s worth of experience representing real estate transactions in the area. “Devine Lake has excellent schools, it’s close enough to Austin for commuters, and there are a lot of affordable options for homes.”
New builds and growing amenities
The majority of homes in Devine Lake are new construction, so buyers will find houses with open floorplans and lots of natural light, and there are multiple subdivisions within the neighborhood, each with its own specific vibe and personality. The median price of real estate in Devine Lake is $450,000, and buyers should be expected to pay an average of $240 per square foot, both of which are far below the prices one tends to find within the Austin city limits. But Mohr warns that the affordability won’t last forever. “With the growth the neighborhood is experiencing, home values are going up. And with the new construction and new amenities coming to the area, those values will keep going up.” Currently, a three-bedroom/three-bathroom Tudor-inspired home can list for $352,000, and prices can go up to $1.3 million for a sprawling four-bedroom/three-bathroom ranch-style home that sits on more than 8 acres of land.
