About Cat Hollow Homes for Sale in Round Rock, TX
Neighborhoods & Subdivisions in Cat Hollow
Cat Hollow is platted across multiple sections that together form a cohesive residential community in the northwest part of Round Rock. The Cat Hollow Sec subdivisions, including Sections 3, 5, and 7, make up the core of the neighborhood, with curving streets, cul-de-sacs, and established oak trees lining the sidewalks. Most homes were built between the late 1980s and early 2000s, giving the area a settled quality that stands in contrast to the master-planned communities that have since developed along the northern edges of the metro. Lot sizes tend to run around a quarter acre, which translates to real backyards, room for landscaping, and actual separation between homes.
Because Cat Hollow is fully built out, every home available here is a resale. That is worth noting for buyers who expect uniform finishes and new appliances, but it is also what creates opportunity. Homes vary in how much updating has been done, and buyers willing to take on cosmetic work can find real value in a neighborhood where the fundamentals remain constant regardless of finish level: the mature trees are already there, the streets are established, and the school assignments do not change based on what the kitchen looks like.
Schools Serving Cat Hollow
Cat Hollow falls within Round Rock ISD, one of the most consistently strong public school districts in the greater Austin metro. Elementary students attend Brushy Creek Elementary, which has a reputation for solid academics and an engaged parent community. From there, students move to Cedar Valley Middle School before attending either McNeil High School or Round Rock High School at the secondary level.
Both McNeil and Round Rock High offer extensive Advanced Placement course selections, dual enrollment options through Austin Community College, and competitive athletics and fine arts programs. Round Rock ISD's track record for academic outcomes is a significant draw for buyers choosing this part of Williamson County over other northern suburbs. Buyers also considering other parts of nearby Round Rock will find the same district access across a range of home styles and price points throughout the city.
Cat Hollow Real Estate Market Overview
Cat Hollow sits in a comfortable position in the Round Rock resale market, with homes that reflect both the neighborhood's age and its strong fundamentals. Buyers here are looking at established single-family residences with traditional floor plans, two-car garages, and private lots in a fully built-out community. Because there is no new construction in Cat Hollow, inventory shifts based on what current owners decide to sell, which means buyers may need to act decisively when a well-positioned home comes available.
The broader context is the sustained demand for Williamson County housing from Austin metro buyers, particularly those seeking more square footage or a lower-pressure pace than closer-in neighborhoods offer. Cat Hollow tends to attract buyers who want a genuine neighborhood feel without the HOA intensity and price premiums that come with newer master-planned communities. For buyers comparing options across the region, browsing Austin area homes for sale gives useful context for how Cat Hollow fits within the wider market picture.
Getting Around from Cat Hollow
Cat Hollow's position in Round Rock puts residents within comfortable reach of the broader Austin metro. Interstate 35 is the primary corridor heading south toward Austin, and most residents can reach downtown in 30 to 40 minutes under normal conditions. Texas 45, the east-west toll road across the northern suburbs, offers a faster path to the Domain, the North Austin tech corridor along Parmer Lane and US-183, and westward connections toward Cedar Park.
Round Rock has matured into a substantial employment hub in its own right. Dell Technologies maintains a large campus in the city, and a mix of corporate offices, healthcare employers, and retail operations line University Boulevard, A.W. Grimes Boulevard, and US-79. That concentration of nearby employers means a meaningful number of Cat Hollow residents have short daily commutes rather than full Austin highway runs. H-E-B, the Round Rock Premium Outlets, and a wide range of dining options along Tejas Drive and University Boulevard are all within a few minutes of the neighborhood.
For outdoor recreation, Brushy Creek Lake Park is one of the best nearby assets, with paved trails, a fishing pier, sports courts, a dog park, and open green space across more than 90 acres. Old Settlers Park, one of the largest municipal parks in the Austin metro, is also easily accessible from Round Rock, with athletic complexes, an aquatic center, and event facilities spread across more than 640 acres.
Buyers exploring Cat Hollow should also look at the broader inventory available throughout Round Rock, where similar commute patterns, school district access, and established neighborhood character come in a range of configurations and price points. Neuhaus Realty Group works regularly with buyers across Round Rock and the surrounding Williamson County area, helping clients zero in on the specific blocks and sections that fit their priorities before the right listing appears.
