The neighborhoods, the price points, and the long term school pathways each tell their own story.
Both campuses are in Round Rock ISD. The median home price near Canyon Vista sits around $725,000, while Hopewell’s zone comes in at $407,000. That price context matters as much as the TEA scores when you are making a real estate decision, and I have found that most buyers care about both.
