About Kyle

Kyle is a city in Hays County, Texas, on Interstate 35 about 22 miles south of downtown Austin. The Census Bureau estimated Kyle's population at 62,548 as of July 1, 2023, up from 45,697 at the 2020 Census and 28,016 in 2010; in the same release the Bureau ranked Kyle the second-fastest-growing city in the United States by percentage change between July 2022 and July 2023. San Marcos remains the largest city in Hays County. Kyle sits between Buda to the north and San Marcos to the south, with the I-35 corridor serving as the city's primary commercial and transportation spine. The city incorporated in 1928 and is named for Fergus Kyle, who with David E. Moore deeded 200 acres to the International-Great Northern Railroad for a townsite in 1880.

Housing in Kyle is predominantly single-family and largely built since 2005, with a growing number of townhome and apartment developments along the I-35 corridor. Plum Creek — a 2,200-acre master-planned community built around a public golf course, with more than 100 acres of parks and a 30-acre fishing lake — is one of the area's largest developments; other major neighborhoods include Waterleaf, Steeplechase, Post Oak, and Kensington Trails. Older homes sit near the historic downtown around Center Street, while newer subdivisions extend west and south of I-35.

Kyle is served by Hays CISD, the largest school district in Hays County, which enrolled approximately 25,049 students in 2025-26 across 28 campuses. Kyle-area campuses include Lehman High School and part of the Jack C. Hays High School attendance zone, along with middle schools including Armando Chapa, Laura B. Wallace, and D.J. Red Simon. Elementary schools serving Kyle include Negley, Fuentes, Tobias, Kyle Elementary, Jim Cullen, Hemphill, and Uhland. Hays CISD earned a "B" overall TEA accountability rating for the 2024-25 accountability year, scoring 80 of 100. The district has opened several new campuses in Kyle over the past decade.

Kyle's economy is driven by retail and services along I-35, construction supporting the city's residential growth, and commuter employment to Austin and San Marcos. The city sits at the intersection of I-35, FM 150, and FM 2770. CapMetro's MetroRail commuter service does not extend to Kyle, and the city lies outside CapMetro's service area. Commercial development is concentrated along the I-35 frontage roads; Kyle Crossing and Kyle Marketplace are among the newer retail centers.

Lake Kyle Park on Lehman Road is the city's largest developed park at 118.4 acres, centered on a 12.5-acre lake with catch-and-release fishing, a playground, a covered pavilion, and more than two miles of trails. Stagecoach Park provides athletic fields, a skate park, and disc golf. Downtown Kyle's historic square hosts the Kyle Market Days vendor event, and EVO Entertainment on I-35 offers a cinema and bowling complex. The San Marcos River, about 10 miles south, offers tubing and kayaking.

The city's residential areas are concentrated west and south of I-35, with master-planned communities including Plum Creek, Waterleaf, and Kensington Trails offering community pools, playgrounds, and trail networks. Downtown Kyle retains its historic railroad depot, City Square Park, and a compact commercial district of local shops and restaurants.

Recreation options include Lake Kyle Park, the developing hike-and-bike trail system, Plum Creek Golf Course — an 18-hole public course designed by architect Roy Bechtol and opened in 1999 — and youth sports programs run through the city parks department and Hays CISD athletics. San Marcos River tubing is about 10 miles south, and downtown Austin is roughly 22 miles north via I-35.
