About Pflugerville
Pflugerville is a city of approximately 68,000 residents in Travis County, located directly northeast of Austin along SH-130 and FM 685. German immigrant Henry Pfluger arrived in Texas in 1849, though a community did not develop at the site until after the Civil War; the post office opened in 1893 and the city incorporated in the 1960s. Pflugerville remained a small farming community until suburban expansion from Austin reached its borders in the 1990s and triggered decades of sustained growth. The city levies a municipal property tax in addition to county, school district, and special district levies; council adopted a rate of $0.5350 per $100 of valuation for fiscal year 2025-26. The city borders Austin to the south and west, Round Rock to the north, and Hutto and Manor to the east.
Pflugerville's housing market consists primarily of single-family subdivisions built between the 1990s and the present. Major neighborhoods include Blackhawk, Falcon Pointe, Villages of Hidden Lake, Avalon, and Sorento, each offering different price points and home sizes. Lot sizes are typically suburban at 5,000-8,000 square feet in newer developments, with some older neighborhoods near Pecan Street offering larger plots. The market includes a mix of entry-level starter homes, move-up family houses, and some townhome and apartment construction along the SH-130 corridor.
Pflugerville ISD serves approximately 25,046 students (2025-26) across 35 campuses. High schools include Hendrickson, Connally, Weiss, and Pflugerville High School, the original campus. The district has built multiple new schools since 2010 to keep pace with residential growth and has invested in STEM programming, career readiness initiatives, and dual-language programs at the elementary level. Academic performance varies by campus but generally tracks near state averages. Austin Community College has a campus in the area along Wells Branch Parkway, and the University of Texas main campus is about 20 minutes south.
SH-130 provides a fast tolled route along Pflugerville's eastern side, connecting to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in about 20 minutes southbound and Georgetown to the north. I-35 is accessible a few miles west through north Austin or Round Rock. FM 685, Pecan Street (FM 1825), and Grand Avenue Parkway are the main local arterials handling east-west and north-south traffic within the city. The Stone Hill Town Center on SH-130 has become a major commercial hub with an H-E-B Plus, a movie theater, restaurants, and retail shops. Lake Pflugerville, a 180-acre reservoir completed in 2006, offers fishing, kayaking, and a 3-mile crushed-granite hike-and-bike trail loop. The Pflugerville Pfarmers Market operates on Tuesdays during growing season, and Deutschen Pfest, held each May, celebrates the city's German heritage with food, music, and family activities.
