Suburban streets branching off US Route 183 in Texas
Residential streets flank U.S. Route 183 in Leander Heights, a Texas neighborhood about 30 miles north of Austin. The main thoroughfare bisects Leander Heights and operates as both a central route for getting around the area and a commercial hub, connecting it to an array of stores and restaurants in downtown Leander. Within the neighborhood, though, homebuyers can find a selection ranging from single-family properties to manufactured homes and condos. “People who live here are definitely family-focused,” says Sunetra “Sunny” Sutherland, a Realtor with Allure Real Estate. “Leander Heights is premier living in the northern suburbs. Back around the pandemic, folks were kind of coming from the city. It’s been built up quite a bit since then.” Adding to the neighborhood’s popularity is the highly rated school district servings its students, as well as its proximity to major employers in both Austin and Round Rock.

Heading down to Austin on Route 183
US Route 183 splits the neighborhood in half in a north-south direction, making it the thoroughfare of choice for commuters heading to Austin “There’s really no other way to get to Leander outside of 183,” Sutherland says. “It’s actually easier to get into Austin because it’s a toll road, so you can get to the city much faster than before. I would say you’re 25 to 30 minutes outside of Austin.” The distance to the state capital is around 25 miles south. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport sits less than 40 miles in the same direction.
Cooling off in the summer at splash pads and Lake Travis
Locals have to head outside of Leander Heights for places to get outdoors. “It’s near Sandy Creek Park and other parks at Lake Travis, so there are a ton of outdoor things to do,” Sutherland says of the neighborhood. “It’s very close to Crystal Falls Golf Club, which is one of the premier golf courses in the northern suburbs. The Quarry Splash Pad is one of the top things to take kids to.” The splash pad is at Southwest Williamson County Regional Park, less than 10 miles southeast, and is an expansive area to cool off during its seasonal May-through-September opening. Sandy Creek Park is popular for swimming, fishing and walking trails on the shores of Lake Travis, about 13 miles southwest. Crystal Falls Golf Club sits about 6 miles west and its 18-hole course is open to the public.
Sandy Creek is perfect for Leander Heights residents who fish or paddle.
