Locals can enjoy a relaxing afternoon at the Round Rock.
What's in a name?
Driving through Texas, it’s hard not to think about how some of these towns got their names. Dime Box, for instance, was named after a practice local residents had of dropping an unstamped letter in a box, along with a dime, before the town officially had a post office. Muleshoe was named for a rusty mule shoe that a rancher found while trying to come up with a name for the town. Nameless was decided on by popular vote, or rather six popular votes, of local residents; when nobody could agree on a name, someone suggested leaving the town nameless. So they did. Then there’s Round Rock, named for a round rock that stuck out of a creek. The creek had brush growing alongside it, so residents of the newly named town of Round Rock decided to call it Brushy Creek. Today, Brushy Creek is more than just a scenic place to sit and admire the rock for which the city was named. It’s also an established neighborhood that combines small-town charm with big-city amenities, and pairs that with having the distinction of annually crowning the area’s hairiest man.
The Brushy Creek Regional Trail follows the Brushy Creek for plenty of walking space.
Parks, trails and hairy men
When a neighborhood is named after an iconic natural feature, it stands to reason that it attracts residents who enjoy spending time outdoors. Brushy Creek features several hiking trails and nine public parks to keep those outdoor enthusiasts happy. Brushy Creek Regional Trail is one of the most popular trails in the neighborhood, running the entire length of the neighborhood and then some. The trail traces the winding path of Brushy Creek, extending all the way west to the 90-acre Brushy Creek Lake Park, with a playground, waterscape, sand volleyball court, fitness stations and a 38-acre lake with a canoe launch and boat rental facility. Heading east on Brushy Creek Regional Trail brings hikers to Olson Meadows Park, a 54-acre space with two playgrounds, athletic fields, a jogging path and athletic fields. Brushy Creek residents can also choose to head to Cat Hollow Park in the southern part of the neighborhood, where they’ll find a playground, picnic areas with grills, a swimming pool, a basketball court, athletic fields and an 18-hole disc golf course. And don’t miss the annual Hairy Man Festival, a 20-plus-year fall tradition featuring live music, food vendors, a carnival and, of course, an award for Hairiest Man.
Brightwater Trail is perfect for a relaxing walk right within the Brushy Creek neighborhood.
Homes from ranch-style to actual ranches
Brushy Creek’s celebration of nature extends to many of the homes in the neighborhood, too. “There are a lot of Traditional-style homes,” says Chris Tinnell, Broker Associate for Compass Commercial. “Hill Country style was common here up until the early 2000s.” For those not in the know, Hill Country style refers to homes with a façade of Austin white limestone, which is quarried in areas in and around central Texas. Architectural styles here run the full gamut from ranch-style to actual ranches, with just about everything in between, too. The median price of real estate in the area is $597,000, and buyers should expect to pay an average of $256 per square foot. A three-bedroom/two-bathroom Craftsman-style home can sell for $300,000, and prices can go up to $2.3 million for a sprawling six-bedroom/four-bathroom Tudor-inspired home complete with a guesthouse on a seven-acre lot.
Locals can depend on the local H-E-B for all their grocery needs.
Retail therapy and culinary sustenance
With H-E-B located in the neighborhood, residents of Brushy Creek don’t have to travel far to buy their groceries. For home necessities, both Target and Walmart Supercenter are located just over 6 miles away in Frontera Plaza, where shoppers can also get their retail therapy fix at national retailers like Kohl’s and Burlington or locally owned establishments like Gomez Boot Ranch. And just in case the nearby options don’t quite satisfy the needs of the true shopaholic, a 25-mile trip down Interstate 35 takes residents to Austin and all that vibrant city has to offer.
When dining out, Brush Creek residents can start their day with fresh coffee and a homemade pastry at Black Rock Coffee. The colorful interior and freshly prepared cuisine at Santiago’s Tex-Mex and Cantina is another local favorite for lunch or dinner. And Red Horn Coffee House and Brewing Company in nearby Cedar Park is the perfect spot for a locally crafted beer with friends.
Vibrant programs and extracurriculars enrich the Round Rock High School experience.
