About Buttercup Creek Homes for Sale
Neighborhoods & Subdivisions in Buttercup Creek
Buttercup Creek is not a single subdivision but a collection of distinct sections and villages that were developed in phases over the years. You will find homes in areas like Buttercup Creek Section 1 Village 1B, Section 2 Villages 1 through 9, and Section 3 Villages 1 and 2, each with its own subtle character shaped by when it was built and how the lots were configured. The earlier sections tend to feature smaller lots and more modest ranch-style homes that have been updated and personalized by long-term owners, while later sections pushed into slightly larger floor plans and bigger backyards as Cedar Park continued to grow.
What ties all these sections together is the neighborhood's cohesive park and trail system. Buttercup Creek Linear Park runs through the heart of the community, connecting residents to green space, hike-and-bike trails, a splash pad, tennis courts, and sports fields. This park infrastructure is one of the neighborhood's defining features and the reason buyers who want walkable access to outdoor amenities keep landing here. There is also a community pool that serves as a warm-weather gathering point throughout the season.
The lot sizes across the neighborhood average around a fifth of an acre, which gives most homes a decent backyard without the maintenance burden of a larger rural property. That balance appeals to a wide range of buyers, from those downsizing from larger acreage to those moving up from a condo or townhome for the first time.
Schools in Buttercup Creek
Buttercup Creek falls within Leander ISD, one of the most consistently well-regarded school districts in the Austin metro. Elementary students are zoned to either Ada Mae Faubion Elementary or Westside Elementary, depending on their specific address within the neighborhood. Both campuses are known for strong community involvement and solid academic programming.
Middle schoolers feed into Artie L. Henry Middle School or Cedar Park Middle School. Henry Middle is a Leander ISD campus with a reputation for a well-rounded extracurricular program, while Cedar Park Middle sits close to the heart of the city and serves a large portion of the Cedar Park community. At the high school level, students attend either Cedar Park High School or Vista Ridge High School, both of which offer advanced coursework, competitive athletics, and active fine arts programs. Vista Ridge in particular has developed a strong reputation in the Leander ISD feeder pattern and draws significant attention from buyers scoping out the district.
For private school options, several campuses operate in the broader Cedar Park and Leander corridor, giving residents flexibility in how they approach education beyond the public system.
Real Estate Market Overview
Buttercup Creek positions itself as one of Cedar Park's more accessible entry points into the Austin area homes for sale market. The neighborhood's established status and range of home sizes mean buyers can find three-bedroom ranch homes alongside larger four-bedroom layouts, with pricing that reflects both the age of the home and how extensively it has been updated. Kitchens and bathrooms upgraded in the last decade command a noticeable premium over homes that are still showing their original 1990s finishes.
The market here moves at a pace that rewards buyers who do their homework. Homes that are priced well and in good condition move with confidence, while properties that need significant work or carry inflated asks tend to sit longer than sellers expect. There is no new construction activity currently in Buttercup Creek, so every transaction involves an existing home, which puts the condition and update history of each property front and center in any negotiation.
Rental demand in the neighborhood is real. A portion of the active inventory at any given time is listed for lease rather than sale, which signals that investor interest in Buttercup Creek has remained steady. For buyers evaluating the neighborhood as an investment or considering holding a property as a rental, the demand from renters seeking Leander ISD addresses provides meaningful support.
Getting Around Buttercup Creek
One of Buttercup Creek's practical advantages is how efficiently residents can get in and out of the neighborhood. The community sits close to Whitestone Boulevard and has easy access to FM 1431, two of Cedar Park's primary east-west corridors. From either road, residents can reach the 183A Toll Road within minutes, which provides a fast lane toward the Domain, the Apple campus, and ultimately downtown Austin.
The commute to downtown Austin runs roughly 25 to 35 minutes under normal conditions, depending on departure time and destination. The Domain and nearby tech campuses along the North Austin corridor are even closer, making Buttercup Creek a reasonable option for those working in that part of the metro. Lakeline Station on the MetroRail Red Line is accessible from Cedar Park as well, giving commuters a transit option that bypasses highway traffic entirely on days when it makes sense to leave the car at home.
For daily errands, the neighborhood is well-positioned. Lakeline Mall, major grocery chains, restaurants, and retail along Whitestone and 1431 are all within a short drive. The H-E-B on Whitestone is a Cedar Park institution and sits close enough to make grocery runs a quick task rather than a production.
