Neighborhoods Zoned to Herrington Elementary
Paloma Lake is the signature community in the Herrington zone and one of the most popular master-planned neighborhoods in all of northeast Round Rock. Built around a central lake with resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, community pool, playgrounds, and miles of walking and jogging trails, Paloma Lake gives residents a lifestyle that feels like a permanent vacation without leaving their neighborhood. The community spans multiple sections, from more attainable homes in Paloma Lake Sec 1B and Sec 8 to premium, larger floor plans in sought-after sections like Paloma Lake Sec 4B and Paloma Lake Sec 06, so buyers at a range of budgets can find a home within this coveted zone.
Chester Ranch Place is another prominent community in the Herrington attendance area, offering well-built homes with a more traditional neighborhood character. Buyers drawn to established streetscapes, mature landscaping, and solid construction will appreciate what Chester Ranch Place delivers. The community is one of the most active in the zone in terms of market activity, which speaks to its enduring appeal.
The zone also includes Vizcaya, Ryans Crossing, Settlers Crossing, Settlers Overlook North, and Estates Settlers Park, which offers some of the more spacious lots and larger home designs in the area. Together, these communities create a genuinely varied housing landscape, with three, four, and five-bedroom homes available across a range of styles and sizes.

School Feeder Pattern
Knowing the complete feeder path from elementary through high school is essential when you are buying a home with education in mind. Here is how the Herrington zone flows through Round Rock ISD.
After completing fifth grade at Herrington, students move on to middle school. Depending on the specific address within the zone, students may be assigned to CPL Robert P. Hernandez Middle School, Deerpark Middle School, or Hopewell Middle School. All three are solid Round Rock ISD campuses with strong academics and a full range of electives, athletics, and extracurricular programs at the 6th through 8th grade level. Since different subdivisions within the Herrington zone may feed into different middle schools, it is worth confirming the specific assignment for any home address directly with Round Rock ISD before you close.
From middle school, students in this part of the district continue to Stony Point High School, one of Round Rock ISD's flagship high school campuses. Stony Point is known for its rigorous academic offerings including a deep roster of Advanced Placement courses, a celebrated fine arts program, and competitive athletics across a wide range of sports. It is a school that graduates consistently go on to strong college and university admissions, and it is a genuine selling point for this part of the market.
Community and Lifestyle
The northeast Round Rock area is one of the most complete suburban environments in the greater Austin metro. Residents here enjoy proximity to Brushy Creek Regional Trail, a beloved multi-use trail that winds through several communities and connects walkers, runners, and cyclists to miles of scenic green space. Paloma Lake's private trails and lake add another layer of outdoor recreation right outside the front door for residents in that community.
For everyday needs, the area sits close to the retail and dining corridors along Gattis School Road and Highway 79, with grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and services all within a short drive. Round Rock itself is one of the most fully developed cities in the Austin suburbs, home to the Round Rock Premium Outlets, Dell Diamond, a growing downtown entertainment district, and a wide range of healthcare and professional services.
Commuters have excellent options from this location. Interstate 35 and SH-130 both provide efficient routes south toward Austin's major employment hubs, including the Domain area, North Austin's tech corridor, and downtown. Georgetown is just a short drive north, and Cedar Park is easily accessible to the west, giving residents access to an even wider range of dining, retail, and entertainment. Buyers who work in Hutto or the new Samsung semiconductor development in Taylor will find this location particularly convenient.
