A 30-mile drive north of Austin, Morningstar is one of the many developments driven by the explosive growth of Central Texas. While the new subdivisions often resemble one another, Morningstar separates itself thanks to its focus on amenities and activities. “These neighborhoods are really built around providing things for people and families to get out and do,” says Tanya Kerr, Realtor and team lead of the T. Kerr Property Group of Keller Williams Lone Star. “You often see that people get very connected and friendships build.” The community-building aspect of Morningstar and its convenient location to routes toward North Austin help the neighborhood stand out among the many popping up in the area.
Off the area’s main roads, well-manicured lawns and young trees flank the wide suburban drive of Morningstar Boulevard, while subdivisions sit on either side of the street. New construction has slowed down in the neighborhood, but plenty of inventory remains on the market, most of it looking for its first buyer. The homes in Morningstar tend to feature a new traditional style with some French Country or Mediterranean influences and have built-in garages and small, fenced-in backyards. The wide swath of home sizes through the neighborhood can go from a two-bed house with just over 1,200 square feet selling for $300,000, to a five-bed, 4,000-square-foot home that goes for $1.3 million.
Morningstar differentiates itself from many of the other new neighborhoods in the exurbs of Austin with its recreation options. “The neighborhood really focuses on inclusivity with their amenities,” says Rebekah Cummings, Realtor at the Cummings Team of Keller Williams. “They really try to make sure that the residents and homeowners have something to do, always.” In the heart of the neighborhood, the Morningstar Amenity Center offers a pool, a fire pit and a pavilion for events. Elsewhere, residents can drop the leash at the dog park, or drop a line in the fishing pond. Further north in the neighborhood, residents of the Tierra Rosa development can race down one of the two water slides at the Ranch House Amenity Center’s pool.
Split between the Liberty Hill and Georgetown Independent School Districts, Morningstar is zoned to a number of new schools, mirroring the area’s growth in population. More of the neighborhood attends Liberty Hill schools, including Tierra Rosa Elementary, which will open fall of 2024, Santa Rita Middle School, and Legacy Ranch High School. In its first year of operation starting fall 2024, Legacy Ranch High will serve only ninth graders, with the school expanding one grade up each academic year to eventually become the area’s full high school in 2027. Those zoned to Georgetown ISD will attend the new San Gabriel Elementary School, Benold Middle School, given an A-minus grade by Niche, and the B-graded East View High School.
While the area around Morningstar currently doesn’t have much in the way of commercial development, many businesses are popping up across State Highway 29 at Bar W Marketplace. Whataburger, Chili’s and a Wells Fargo branch will join the H-E-B, Torchy’s Tacos, and Great Clips that already call the shopping center home. Locals looking for more shopping often head south to Cedar Park for stores such as Target and Costco, while a date night might be spent 10 miles east down 29 in Georgetown’s Town Square at one of its many local restaurants.
Morningstar is located at the intersection of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and State Highway 29 between Liberty Hill and Georgetown in the rapidly expanding exurbs of Austin. With access to major commuting routes, the neighborhood sits just seven miles away from the 183A toll freeway and 30 miles from downtown Austin. 183A, which is currently being extended, also serves as the fastest route to employers further out from downtown, including Apple, Amazon, Indeed and many of Austin’s tech companies. “Those neighborhoods right there in that corridor, you can get to 183 and Ronald Reagan really quickly and you can get down to North Austin pretty fast,” Kerr says. “But that’s why that area is so popular. … You have roadway access that isn’t crazy busy and you can kind of zip around.” The neighborhood is also a 10-mile drive from Interstate 35, one of the main highways through Central Texas.
As with amenities, Morningstar focuses efforts on building community through its events. Summer pool parties, fall festivals and Christmas celebrations each give residents opportunities to get to know their neighbors. Locals also enjoy going to Georgetown for annual celebrations like the Red Poppy Festival held each spring.
Located near the midpoint between Liberty Hill and Georgetown, San Gabriel Oaks is a quiet community offering spacious homes and peace of mind. “There’s a small-town feel that draws people here, but there’s been a lot of growth recently that has brought in many of the amenities,” says Lyndsay Blasienz, a real estate professional with White Label Realty and resident of Liberty Hill. “I love the people here, everybody’s has been very kind and open, and there’s a lot of mom and pop shops that really give off that small town feel.”
“It’s a great time to buy a home here,” Blasienz adds. “There’s a wide range of affordable homes in the 300s, but there are also luxury homes, so there’s something for everyone.” The community blends long, rural county roads with residential areas throughout the many subdivisions that make up the area. Prospective buyers can find newly built homes in The Saddleback at Santa Rita Ranch neighborhood, with prices ranging in the low $400,000 range for three-bedroom properties to $600,000 for four-bedroom houses.

U.S. Route 183 hugs the western end of the community, which residents can use to reach the Texas 29 highway. Hopping on the highway allows quick access to Georgetown, which is about 12 miles away, and to neighboring Liberty Hill, which is 8 miles to the west.
Many of the shops and dining in the Liberty Hill area are just a short drive away. Head down Ronald Reagan Boulevard to get fresh produce, fruit and other groceries from H-E-B. There are several dining options in that area, but there are plenty more options along the Texas 29 highway, including Mexican fare and tasty drink options at Margarita's or a burger and beer in Liberty Tavern.
