Forest Creek
Sprawling lots with a range of prices
Communities like Sonoma feature homes with cross-gabled roofs and garages. In the Oak Bluff Estates community, brick homes sit on sprawling lots peppered with towering oaks. Although some have been renovated, these homes are usually at least a few decades old, so they do come with more of a maintenance responsibility that doesn’t necessarily lower the cost. “Having a good school system and the golf courses nearby,” Tinnell says. “That always pushes prices up.” Most of the area’s three-bedroom homes go for around $400,000, but this price increases with larger lots or second-story options. A four or more-bedroom home will cost at least $650,000, but more coveted communities like Oak Bluff Estates can carry a heftier price tag, slipping into the $900,000 range. Occasionally, a million-dollar estate comes on the market.Suburban bliss with a golf club twist
Forest Creek Golf Club is nationally recognized as one of the best Hill Country courses north of Austin. Book a weekend tee time or sign up for an annual pass and take advantage of the club’s Player Development Program. At The Golf Club at Star Ranch, golfers can hit the 18-hole course and then relax with a drink in the hilltop clubhouse — no membership required.Some of the highest rated schools in Round Rock
There are a few different elementary schools in the neighborhood including Forest Creek Elementary. The Lake Forest community is home to Blackland Prairie Elementary, making it easy for kids to safely walk to and from the building with their neighbors. Other local school options include Ridgeview Middle, where students can join the active soccer team or learn multiple styles of dance and perform for their community. For high school, some students attend Hendrickson High in Pflugerville. All four schools score an A rating overall on Niche.Neighborhood parks in bloom
Some neighborhood parks are exclusive to residents of a particular subdivision, like Greenridge Park. However, Bradford Park is open to everyone and includes a playground — accompanied by a small pond with a narrow wooden bridge, walking trails and picnic space. High Country Park is another local favorite for activities like playing fetch with the dog. The park is better known to some as Flower Hill Park, however, both because of its location on Flower Hill Drive and because spring brings a carpet of purple and white flowers to the lawn.Shopping and Dining
At the Shops at Forest Commons, Thai Spoon Restaurant offers a fragrant curry or a filling sandwich can be found at High Country Market Bistro and GastroPub across the street. For a home-cooked meal, H-E-B has groceries and other essentials. Off of Route 79, there are major chains such as Walmart and McDonalds less than 3 miles away.Getting around Round Rock
With access to major Routes 130, 45 and 79, commuting around Round Rock or Austin is easy. Not only do sidewalks provide walkability in the neighborhood, but they also give residents a chance to stop and chat under the shade of mature trees.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
