About Sunfield Homes for Sale in Buda, TX
Neighborhoods & Subdivisions in Sunfield
Sunfield has been built out in phases over more than a decade, and that phased development means buyers have a lot of options depending on what they're looking for. The original sections, including Sunfield Ph One Sec One and Sunfield Ph One Sec Two, offer more mature landscaping and established streetscapes, with homes that have had time to settle into the neighborhood. Later phases like Sunfield Ph Two Sec Four, Sunfield Ph Two Sec Eleven, and Sunfield Ph Two Sec Twelve expanded the footprint considerably, adding a range of lot sizes and floor plans to the mix.
More recent development in Sunfield Ph Three Sec Two, Sunfield Ph Three Sec Five, Sunfield Ph Four Sec One, and Sunfield Ph Four Sec Two brought additional inventory as demand for Buda real estate accelerated. The community continues to grow in its fifth phase, with Sunfield Ph Five Sec One and Sunfield Ph Five Sec Four representing some of the newest sections currently available. Buyers looking at the Sunfield 40s product lines will find compact, efficiently designed homes on smaller lots, which can be a smart entry point into the community.
Lot sizes across Sunfield tend to run on the smaller side, typical for master-planned communities, but the tradeoff is access to shared amenities that far outpace what you'd get on a larger private lot. The community's layout is walkable, with internal trail connections linking most sections to the central amenity core.
Schools in Sunfield
Sunfield sits entirely within the Hays Consolidated Independent School District, one of the faster-growing districts in Central Texas. Elementary-age students in many parts of the community attend Sunfield Elementary, which sits directly within the neighborhood, offering a genuinely short walk or bike ride for many residents. Buda Elementary and Tom Green Elementary also serve portions of the Sunfield area depending on the specific address.
Middle school students typically feed into Eric Dahlstrom Middle School, McCormick Middle School, or R.C. Barton Middle School, depending on where within Sunfield they live. High schoolers generally attend Jack C. Hays High School or Johnson High School, both of which offer solid academic and extracurricular programs. Hays CISD has invested significantly in new campuses and expanded programs as the district has grown alongside communities like Sunfield, Kyle, and southern Buda.
New Construction in Sunfield
Sunfield remains one of the few established master-planned communities in the Austin metro still actively selling new homes. Builders currently active in the community include CastleRock Communities, DRB Homes, Pulte Homes, and Centex, each offering different floor plans, price points, and finish levels. This variety is genuinely useful for buyers, because it means you can compare product from multiple builders in the same neighborhood rather than committing to one builder's ecosystem sight unseen.
New construction in Sunfield generally runs from townhome-style attached products up through larger four and five-bedroom single-family homes on standard suburban lots. Move-in-ready inventory from builders occasionally becomes available when contracts fall through or spec homes complete ahead of schedule, so buyers who want new construction without the wait should ask about quick-move-in options. Resale homes in the community also compete well with new construction on value, especially in the more mature sections where upgrades have already been made.
Real Estate Market Overview
Sunfield occupies a competitive segment of the Buda real estate market, positioned as a community that offers tangible amenities at a more accessible price point than many comparable master-planned developments closer to Austin. The mix of resale homes, builder closeouts, and active new construction keeps inventory moving consistently throughout the year. Three-bedroom homes represent the largest share of available inventory, with four-bedroom homes close behind, reflecting the community's broad appeal across a range of household sizes and budgets.
Buyers considering Sunfield should understand that the community's HOA structure and deed restrictions are part of what maintains the neighborhood's appearance and amenity quality over time. Annual HOA fees fund the lazy river pool, trails, dog park, and common area maintenance, so those costs are worth factoring into total monthly housing expenses from the start. For buyers browsing all Austin area homes for sale, Sunfield consistently stands out as one of the stronger value propositions in southern Hays County.
Getting Around Sunfield
Sunfield's location in south Buda puts IH-35 within a short drive, which is the primary artery for commuters heading north toward Austin or south toward San Marcos. From Sunfield, it's roughly 25 miles to downtown Austin, with SH-45 offering an alternate route that connects to Mopac and helps drivers avoid the congestion that builds on IH-35 through Kyle and Buda during peak hours. Many residents commute to employment centers in South Austin, the Domain area, or around the Tesla Gigafactory corridor off Harold Green Road.
Within Buda itself, FM 1626 and FM 967 connect Sunfield to the city's growing commercial core, including the Main Street corridor and the larger retail nodes along IH-35. The Buda HEB, a growing restaurant scene downtown, and the outlet shopping at San Marcos are all within easy reach. Buyers who also want to consider nearby communities should look at Buda more broadly, as the city has developed considerably beyond the Sunfield footprint in recent years.
