Living in Steeplechase
Steeplechase offers the most home for the money along the southern I-35 corridor, with newer construction homes from $250K to $400K that would cost significantly more in Austin proper. Families moving here get modern floor plans, community amenities, and the kind of square footage that central Austin's price-per-foot makes impractical.
Kyle's rapid growth has transformed the local commercial landscape — H-E-B Plus, major retailers, restaurants, and services are now available along the I-35 corridor without driving into Austin. The I-35 commute to downtown Austin runs 25-30 minutes in off-peak conditions, though peak-hour traffic can extend that significantly. Hays CISD has invested heavily in new campuses to serve the growing population, and Kyle's expanding parks and trail system provide local recreation.
