About Buffington Homes
With more than 1,398 homes recorded in the Austin MLS across 10 cities and dozens of communities, Buffington Homes is one of the more established regional builders in Central Texas. They operate as a production builder, meaning homes are constructed from pre-designed floor plans in planned communities rather than one-off custom builds. That approach keeps costs predictable and delivery timelines consistent while covering a wide range of neighborhoods and price points.
Buffington is not a national brand, but they've built a meaningful local presence across the metro. Their homes appear in communities throughout suburban Austin, and buyers who find a Buffington home in their target area often discover solid construction in neighborhoods that hold their value well. At Neuhaus Realty Group, we work regularly with buyers in Buffington communities and can help you understand what to look for whether you're considering new construction or a resale home.

What to Expect From a Buffington Home
Buffington builds within planned communities, which typically means HOA-managed common areas, sidewalks, and community parks. The communities are generally positioned near key Central Texas corridors. Penley Park and Villages of Hidden Lake are located in Pflugerville near SH-130. Madsen Ranch sits in eastern Round Rock near SH-130 and University Boulevard. Belterra is off SH-290 in the Hill Country area southwest of Austin. That kind of placement gives residents straightforward access to major employers, retail, and dining without being far-flung.
The most common configuration in current active listings is 4 bedrooms, with most homes landing between 2,000 and 2,700 square feet. Open-concept layouts connecting the kitchen, dining, and main living areas are standard for the communities and era in which most of these homes were built.
If you're buying a resale Buffington home, pay attention to what upgrades have been made since original construction. Production homes often start with builder-grade finishes that owners enhance over time. Some resale Buffington homes come with updated kitchens, added flooring upgrades, or improved outdoor spaces. Others sit closer to original spec, which gives you the chance to customize to your own preferences without paying a premium for someone else's choices.
On build quality relative to price, Buffington occupies solid middle ground. At the price points they operate in, particularly $340K to $500K across suburban Austin communities, they represent a practical value with a documented resale track record spanning more than 1,300 transactions in the Austin metro. That volume of data gives buyers and their agents a reliable picture of how these homes perform over time.
