About Cedar Park
Cedar Park is a city of approximately 80,000 residents in Williamson County, located directly northwest of Austin along US-183 and FM 1431 (Whitestone Boulevard). The city grew from a rural crossroads into one of the largest suburbs in the Austin metro area during the housing booms of the 1990s and 2000s. Cedar Park is bounded by Leander to the north, Austin to the south and east, and the Brushy Creek greenbelt corridor along its southern edge. The Capital Metro Red Line's Lakeline station, at 13625 Lyndhurst Boulevard in Austin just outside the city limits, provides a commuter rail link to downtown Austin.
The Cedar Park housing market offers a broad range of options, from townhomes and condominiums near the US-183 corridor to large single-family homes in neighborhoods like Ranch at Brushy Creek, Twin Creeks, and Buttercup Creek. Most homes were built between the mid-1990s and 2020, with limited new construction within city limits as available land has become scarce. Lot sizes in established neighborhoods typically range from 6,000 to 10,000 square feet, with some larger properties in older sections near Anderson Mill Road.
Children in Cedar Park predominantly attend Leander ISD schools, which serves approximately 42,000 students (2025-26) across 51 campuses. Cedar Park-area schools include Deer Creek Elementary, Henry Middle School, Cedar Park High School, and Vista Ridge High School. The district has maintained solid academic performance and has invested in Career and Technical Education programs and dual-credit college courses. Several private schools and preschools operate in the area, and Austin Community College's Cypress Creek campus is located nearby.
US-183 and US-183A (a tolled bypass) are the primary north-south routes, connecting Cedar Park to central Austin in 20-30 minutes. FM 1431 (Whitestone Boulevard) serves as the main east-west commercial corridor through the city. The H-E-B Center at Cedar Park is a 6,800-seat arena that hosts concerts, minor league hockey (Texas Stars), and basketball (Austin Spurs). Cedar Park has attracted employers including Firefly Aerospace, which operates its headquarters and manufacturing facility here. The Brushy Creek Regional Trail provides a multi-use path through the southern part of the city, and Milburn Park, Elizabeth Milburn Park, and Veterans Memorial Park offer additional sports fields and open space.
