About Cedar Park

Family-anchored, well-planned, and a neighbor to Lake Travis.

Cedar Park anchors the western edge of Williamson County alongside Leander, with downtown Austin about 22 miles to the south. The city has become one of the most popular family destinations in the Austin metro, combining well-rated Leander ISD schools with a growing parks and amenities system, the H-E-B Center entertainment arena, and a downtown that has slowly come into its own.

Neighborhoods like Twin Creeks, Buttercup Creek, Brushy Creek, Cypress Creek, and Anderson Mill West give Cedar Park a range of prices and styles. The Brushy Creek Lake Park system runs through the area and gives weekend life a clear center of gravity.

Buyers come to Cedar Park for Leander ISD, for community parks, for a balance of newer and established neighborhoods, and for the kind of suburb that feels like a real city without sacrificing the family-first feel.
