Cedar Park sits about 17 miles northwest of downtown Austin, along the US-183 and TX-45 corridors. It's one of the more searched suburbs in the Austin metro, and it's grown into a full-service city rather than just a bedroom community. You'll find a wide range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options without needing to head into Austin for most day-to-day needs.
Housing in Cedar Park runs the range from established neighborhoods with mature trees to newer master-planned developments on the city's edges. Lot sizes and home styles vary quite a bit depending on the area, some sections have larger lots and older builds, while others feature newer construction with more compact footprints. The market here has drawn a lot of attention in recent years as part of the broader Austin area growth story.
Outdoor access is a real draw. Brushy Creek Regional Trail runs through the area and connects to parks and green space throughout the corridor. Lake Travis and the Highland Lakes are a short drive west, adding boating and recreation options. The Domain and downtown Austin are both reachable in under 30 minutes under normal traffic conditions, though rush hour on 183 can stretch that.
Local video tours of Cedar Park are available on this page, including a detailed look at what the city actually looks and feels like for anyone weighing a move to the Austin area.
