About Harvest Creek
Harvest Creek is a residential subdivision in unincorporated Hays County, Texas, with a Kyle/Uhland mailing address (ZIP 78640). The community was built exclusively by D.R. Horton, with construction completed in 2023. The subdivision is now sold out. Hays County Appraisal District records identify the formal plat name as Harvest Creek Phase 1.
D.R. Horton offered 11 floor plans in the community, with homes ranging from approximately 1,293 to 2,473 square feet in 3- to 4-bedroom configurations with 2 to 4 bathrooms. Homes feature one- and two-story designs with brick and stone exteriors. Lot sizes are approximately 0.11 to 0.15 acres, typical of newer suburban construction in the I-35 corridor south of Austin.
The community is accessed off Grist Mill Road via FM 150 and Lehman Road, in the broader Uhland/east Kyle growth area. Because Harvest Creek is located in unincorporated Hays County rather than within the Kyle city limits, the property tax rate is approximately 2.05 percent, described as one of the lower rates for newer construction in the area.
Harvest Creek is governed by the Harvest Creek HOA, managed by IRJ Property Management, with annual dues of $300 billed in January. The community has an architectural control committee that reviews exterior modifications.
Harvest Creek is served by Hays Consolidated Independent School District, which received a TEA accountability rating of B (score 80 out of 100) for the 2024-25 school year. Students are zoned to Hemphill Elementary (Ramage Elementary, a new campus on Gristmill Road, opened in August 2025 and may serve portions of the community), D.J. Red Simon Middle School, and Lehman High School.
Living in Harvest Creek
Harvest Creek provides newer construction in the east Kyle/Uhland corridor, where the unincorporated Hays County location results in a lower property tax rate compared to homes within Kyle's city limits. The community's 2022-2023 build dates mean all infrastructure, home systems, and construction materials are recent.
The HOA is managed by IRJ Property Management, with the TownSq app providing resident access to HOA communications, architectural review requests, and community information. Annual dues of $300 cover common-area maintenance.
The location off Grist Mill Road places the community in a section of Hays County that has experienced rapid residential growth along the FM 150 and Bunton Creek Road corridors. Kyle's commercial development along I-35, including grocery stores, restaurants, and retail services, is accessible within a short drive west via FM 150.
Commuters heading north toward Austin can access I-35 or SH-130 (toll road). The I-35 corridor connects to Austin's employment centers approximately 20 miles north, while SH-130 provides a less-congested alternative route into eastern Travis County.
