About Zip Code 78732

Zip code 78732 covers the Steiner Ranch master-planned community and surrounding areas along the northern shore of Lake Austin in northwest Austin. The community sits between FM 620 to the east and the lake to the south and west, approximately 18 miles northwest of downtown Austin. Steiner Ranch was developed beginning in 1988 by Taylor Morrison and has grown to approximately 4,500 homes across multiple distinct villages and sections. The terrain is rugged Hill Country landscape with steep limestone bluffs, deep canyons, and dense stands of live oak, Ashe juniper, and Texas red oak. Elevation changes of 300 feet or more are common within the community, and many homes have views of Lake Austin or the surrounding canyon country.

Real estate in 78732 ranges from townhomes in the $400K range to lakefront estate properties exceeding $2 million. The majority of homes are single-family residences from 1,800 to 4,500 square feet, with most prices falling between $500K and $900K. The median home price across the zip code is approximately $650K. Steiner Ranch is organized into distinct villages including River Dance, Hawks Canyon, Emerald Ridge, and University Hills, each with its own character and price range.
