About Headwaters At Barton Creek

Headwaters At Barton Creek is a flagship master-planned community in Dripping Springs, Texas, situated approximately 25 minutes west of downtown Austin in the Texas Hill Country. Spanning over 1,000 acres, the community was designed by Freehold Communities with a preservation-first approach that protects the Barton Creek watershed, maintains five hilltop preserves, and dedicates hundreds of acres to parks, trails, and open space.

Homes in Headwaters At Barton Creek range from the upper $400,000s to over $1.5 million, built by nationally recognized builders including Toll Brothers, Taylor Morrison, Ashton Woods, David Weekley Homes, and Coventry Homes. Architectural styles blend Hill Country stone and contemporary design, with floor plans ranging from single-story ranch homes to large two-story estate residences on lots that take advantage of the rolling terrain and scenic views.

Headwaters At Barton Creek is served by the Dripping Springs Independent School District (Dripping Springs ISD), a TEA A-rated district. A new DSISD elementary school is planned on-site, with students continuing to Dripping Springs Middle School and Dripping Springs High School. The district has been recognized as a silver medal school by U.S. News & World Report.

The community's amenity complex, HW Central, features a split-level swimming pool, water playscape, state-of-the-art fitness center, event pavilion, and a manicured play field for organized and casual recreation. Over eight miles of trails connect neighborhoods to open space, scenic overlooks, and the surrounding Hill Country landscape. Dripping Springs holds the distinction of being Texas's first International Dark Sky city, and Headwaters At Barton Creek features a stargazing amphitheater designed to take advantage of the protected night skies.
