About Uhland
Uhland is a small community of approximately 2,000 residents in Hays and Caldwell Counties, located along the I-35 corridor south of Kyle in Central Texas. The town sits roughly 28 miles south of downtown Austin and about 10 miles north of San Marcos. Uhland was established as a farming community in the late 1800s and was named after German poet Ludwig Uhland, reflecting the area's German-Texan heritage. The terrain is flat Blackland Prairie, and the town has a small commercial area along FM 1966 and Old Bastrop Highway.
Real estate in Uhland consists of single-family homes, small acreage tracts, and newer subdivision development on the edges of the community. Home prices range from $200K for older houses to $400K for newer construction in nearby developments. The area offers some of the more affordable options in southern Hays County, attracting first-time buyers and families priced out of Kyle and Buda. Lots and small acreage parcels are available for custom home construction in the $80K to $200K range.
Uhland is served by Hays Consolidated Independent School District, which enrolls approximately 22,000 students across Kyle, Buda, and the surrounding corridor. Students attend Hays CISD campuses in Kyle, with bus transportation provided from the Uhland area. The district has added multiple new elementary and middle school campuses in recent years to serve the fast-growing population. Nearby private and parochial school options are available in Kyle and San Marcos.
Uhland benefits from its position on the I-35 corridor, providing direct access to Austin to the north and San Marcos and San Antonio to the south. SH-130 toll road runs just east of the community and connects to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in approximately 20 minutes. The nearest full-service grocery stores and major retail are in Kyle, about 5-10 minutes north. The community has maintained a small-town atmosphere while the surrounding corridor has grown rapidly.
Living in Uhland
Uhland has roughly 2,000 residents spread across portions of Hays and Caldwell Counties. The population has grown steadily since the town incorporated in 2009, drawing young families and first-time buyers priced out of nearby Kyle and Buda. Median household income sits near the county average for Hays County, and the age distribution skews younger than many surrounding communities, with a significant share of residents under 40. Most homes were built after 2005, and the housing stock is predominantly single-family detached homes in planned subdivisions. The demographic makeup is primarily white and Hispanic, reflecting the broader composition of the I-35 south corridor communities.
Day-to-day life in Uhland is quiet and residential. Grocery shopping, dining, and medical appointments generally require a short drive north to Kyle or Buda along I-35, where H-E-B stores, urgent care clinics, and chain restaurants serve the area. Children attend Hays CISD schools, with Uhland Elementary serving the youngest students in town. The lack of a commercial core means most errands happen in neighboring cities, but residents trade walkability for larger lots, lower price points, and a slower pace. Weekend activities often involve trips to San Marcos outlet malls 15 minutes south or Austin attractions 30 minutes north via I-35. Neighborhood parks provide some local green space, and the Plum Creek trail system in Kyle is a popular spot for walking and cycling.
