Urban living with small-town charm
From its humble beginnings as a 19th-century crossing point on Brushy Creek, the city of Round Rock, Texas, has grown into a prosperous and thriving municipality 20 miles north of Austin, with Downtown Round Rock serving as its centerpiece. This neighborhood provides residents with a perfect blend of urban living and small-town charm. It also pairs a walkable center of business activity with a variety of architectural styles, all with homes at price points considerably lower than in the nearby state capital of Austin. With Interstate 35 marking the neighborhood's western boundary, those who want to travel south to Austin and San Antonio or north to Waco and Dallas have easy access to the highway that can take them there. And for those without their own cars, several Capital Metro bus stops throughout the neighborhood make it easier to get around town or to virtually anywhere in the region.
