About Brushy Creek, TX Real Estate
Neighborhoods & Subdivisions in Brushy Creek
Brushy Creek is made up of several distinct subdivisions that together form a cohesive, well-established community in Williamson County. The original Brushy Creek subdivision sits at the upper end of the local price range and features some of the area's most spacious lots, with mature trees and a quieter, more spread-out character. Brushy Creek Sec 02 expands on that original footprint and offers a solid collection of well-maintained single-family homes, representing the bulk of resale activity in the area and appealing to buyers who want an established neighborhood without new-construction pricing.
Brushy Creek Village and Brushy Creek Village PUD round out the community with a mix of attached and detached residential options. These sections include some rental housing that adds variety to the overall housing stock and reflects the neighborhood's appeal across both buyers and renters. Homes throughout Brushy Creek tend toward ranch-style and traditional single-family construction, most built from the late 1980s through the early 2000s. Lot sizes run generously compared to what you find in newer master-planned developments, and the canopy of established trees throughout gives the community a shaded, settled feel that simply cannot be replicated in new construction.
Schools in Brushy Creek
Brushy Creek sits within two school districts depending on the specific address: Hays Consolidated ISD and Round Rock ISD. The majority of the community falls within Round Rock ISD, which consistently ranks among the strongest districts in the greater Austin area. Elementary students may attend Brushy Creek Elementary or Camino Real Elementary. Middle school options include Cedar Valley Middle School, McCormick Middle School, and Walsh Middle School. High school students attend McNeil High School or Round Rock High School, both of which offer robust academic programs including Advanced Placement coursework and dual enrollment partnerships.
For homes zoned to Hays Consolidated ISD, Johnson High School serves the upper grades. Because the district boundary runs through portions of the community, it is worth verifying the exact school assignment for any specific address before purchasing. Your agent can pull the zoning details for any property you are seriously considering.
Parks, Trails & Community Amenities
The Brushy Creek Regional Trail is the centerpiece of outdoor life in this neighborhood, and it is genuinely one of the better trail systems in the northwest Austin suburbs. The multi-use path winds through the area and connects to a broader network of parks and green spaces across Williamson County, making it popular year-round with runners, cyclists, and walkers. It is the kind of trail that draws people to a neighborhood and keeps them there.
Beyond the trail, Brushy Creek Lake Park offers open green space, fishing, and picnic areas along the creek corridor. The park provides a natural anchor to the community and a reason to spend time outdoors without leaving the neighborhood. The combination of trail access, lake park, and the area's lower-density development creates a residential atmosphere that feels meaningfully different from the denser communities being built across the metro. The area also benefits from proximity to Cedar Park's recreation and retail corridors, including the H-E-B and surrounding commercial strip along Whitestone Boulevard that most Brushy Creek residents rely on for day-to-day needs.
Real Estate Market Overview
Brushy Creek's real estate market reflects its position as an established, mid-range community in one of the region's most consistently in-demand counties. The housing stock is predominantly single-family residential, with three-bedroom homes making up the largest share of sales activity. Four-bedroom options are available for buyers who need more space, and the variety across subdivisions means there is some range in what buyers will encounter in terms of condition, finishes, and lot characteristics.
Because most homes were built several decades ago, buyers often find that sellers have already invested in cosmetic updates or kitchen and bath renovations. Some properties remain in original condition and offer the opportunity for buyers to personalize on their own terms. Homes in Brushy Creek compete on value relative to the newer master-planned developments in neighboring Round Rock and Leander, which appeals to buyers who prioritize lot size and mature surroundings over brand-new finishes and HOA-managed amenities.
The rental market is active as well, with a meaningful portion of homes leased rather than owner-occupied. This reflects broader demand for housing in the northwest suburbs and is worth noting for buyers thinking about investment potential or long-term resale dynamics. For perspective on the broader Austin area homes for sale landscape, Brushy Creek sits comfortably in Williamson County's mid-range tier, typically more accessible than comparable properties in Travis County while still carrying the strong school district credentials that drive sustained demand.
Getting Around Brushy Creek
Brushy Creek occupies a convenient location within the northwest Austin suburbs, with easy access to FM 1431 and TX-45 connecting residents to the broader highway network. Commuters heading into Austin proper typically route via TX-45 to I-35 or MoPac, with most drives landing in the 30 to 45-minute range depending on time of day and direction. The nearby Round Rock employment corridor, home to major corporate campuses including Dell Technologies, puts some of the metro's largest job centers within a short drive from the neighborhood.
Cedar Park and Leander are both easily accessible, which expands the dining, retail, and entertainment options well beyond what the immediate neighborhood provides. The Lakeline area and the 620 corridor are reachable in under 15 minutes, offering big-box retail, urgent care, and a wide range of restaurants. For commuters who prefer public transit, the Leander MetroRail station is within reasonable range and provides a car-free connection into downtown Austin. Brushy Creek is primarily a car-dependent community, but its central position within the northwest suburbs means that most daily needs are covered within a short drive in any direction.
