About Woodcreek
Woodcreek is a small residential city of approximately 2,000 residents located in Hays County within the Wimberley Valley, about 40 miles southwest of downtown Austin. The city sits in the Texas Hill Country at an elevation of roughly 1,000 feet, occupying a narrow, wooded corridor along Ranch Road 12 between Wimberley proper and the intersection with FM 3237. The terrain is hilly and densely vegetated with live oak, Ashe juniper, and native grasses, and the Blanco River lies a short distance to the west. Cypress Creek, one of the Hill Country's spring-fed waterways, flows nearby to the south. Woodcreek was originally developed as a planned residential community in the 1970s, with winding streets laid out to follow the natural contours of the land.
Real estate in Woodcreek consists primarily of single-family homes on wooded lots, typically ranging from one-third acre to over one acre in size. Home prices run from the $250,000s for smaller homes to $600,000 or more for larger properties with mature tree cover and updated finishes. The median home price sits around $400,000. The community has a distinctly residential character, with no commercial zoning within city limits. Architecture ranges from 1970s-era ranch homes to newer custom builds, and deed restrictions maintain a low-density, wooded aesthetic. Short-term rental activity has been a topic of discussion, as with neighboring Wimberley, given the Hill Country tourism demand.
Woodcreek falls within the Wimberley ISD attendance boundaries. The district enrolls approximately 2,800 students and operates an elementary school, intermediate school, middle school, and Wimberley High School. The district is well regarded in the area, and its schools serve as a draw for families considering the Wimberley Valley. Class sizes are smaller than in larger suburban districts. For higher education, residents travel to San Marcos for Texas State University (about 20 miles) or to Austin for the University of Texas and Austin Community College.
Woodcreek has no commercial businesses within its city limits; all shopping, dining, and services are accessed in adjacent Wimberley or by driving to Dripping Springs, San Marcos, or Austin. The drive to downtown Austin takes approximately 50 to 65 minutes via RR 12 north to US-290. Most working residents commute to Austin or San Marcos. The city government is minimal, focused on road maintenance, code enforcement, and preserving the residential character of the community. Recreational access is provided through the Wimberley area's swimming holes, the Blanco River, and hiking opportunities at nearby Blue Hole Regional Park and Jacob's Well Natural Area. The surrounding Hill Country landscape, with its spring-fed creeks and limestone bluffs, defines the setting and lifestyle appeal of the community.
