Locals living in Round Rock West can enjoy mid-sized lots provided ample green space to enjoy.
Location, location, location
As the city of Round Rock has grown, location has become increasingly important in the real estate market. Many buyers here are looking for quiet residential streets and great schools, all without sacrificing convenience. And many of those buyers are finding that elusive combination in the Round Rock West neighborhood, which is rapidly becoming one of the city’s most desirable areas. “A lot of families are leaving Austin and moving to the area because it’s so much more affordable,” says Round Rock-based Realtor Michelle Mohr, who has been representing transactions in the city for over a decade. “Round Rock West is ideally located because it’s close to downtown and close to the interstate, but it’s still a quiet community.”
The Round Rock Public Library is newly constructed in Downtown and offers computer stations.
Close to downtown shopping and dining
Residents of Round Rock West are less than 2 miles from downtown Round Rock and all the commercial offerings of that destination. That means it’s easy to start the day at the iconic Round Rock Donuts with a cup of coffee and a pastry – for the truly hungry, they even offer a 2-pound “Texas-size” doughnut – or dine on Texas barbecue at Liberty BBQ topped up with a serving of their homemade funnel cake fries.
H-E-B is less than 3 miles away for residents’ grocery needs, and Walmart Supercenter is just over 3 miles away for any other home necessities. When they need a little intensive retail therapy, residents of Round Rock West can head down I-35 a few miles to Crossing Point Shopping Center, where they’ll find retailers including Marshalls, Old Navy and Barnes & Noble, among others.

Easy highway access
The convenience afforded by the neighborhood’s location extends to commuters, too, with Interstate 35 serving as the eastern boundary. So for those who need to travel the 20 miles south to Austin, getting on the highway is easy; just be prepared for the traffic, which can be notoriously heavy at peak times. Given that there are no mass transit stops in the area – the nearest Capital Metro bus stop is east of I-35 – residents here tend to have their own cars to get around town.
Round Rock West park is home to many ducks and geese.
Outdoor serenity
Enhancing the neighborhood’s location is the fact that Round Rock West abuts undeveloped open land on its western edge, which is supplemented by the Round Rock West Greenbelt that sits just inside the western boundary. With a walking trail that extends from Lake Creek at the northern end to McNeil Road at the southern end, the Round Rock West Greenbelt Trail is perfect for walking, jogging or just relaxing on a bench to watch the whitetail deer and other wildlife that inhabit the area. In the northwest quadrant of the neighborhood sits Round Rock West Park, which offers visitors access to a playground, tennis and volleyball courts, a walking trail and a large pond inhabited by ducks, swans and other aquatic creatures.
Many two-story homes are available in the Round Rock West neighborhood.
Home sweet home
Home shoppers will find that most of the homes in Round Rock West tend to be ranch-styles, though there are plenty of two-story options in the neighborhood, too. The ubiquitous cream-colored Texas limestone is a favorite for exteriors here, and many houses with brick or siding exteriors still embrace the Hill Country ethos by incorporating a similar color. The median home price in the neighborhood is just over $476,000, and buyers should expect to pay an average of $238 per square foot. While the median in Round Rock West is slightly lower than that of Austin, the average price per square foot is significantly lower, so buyers will get more house for their money here than they can expect to find in Austin. “Considering how much the greater Austin area has exploded in recent years, the price of houses here has actually gone down in the past year, so it’s more accessible by comparison,” says Tanya Kerr, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty with nearly two decades of experience representing real estate transactions in the area. A two-bedroom/one-bathroom ranch-style home in Round Rock West can sell for $265,000, and prices can go up to $925,000 for a four-bedroom/four-bathroom Tudor-inspired home.
Vibrant programs and extracurriculars enrich the Round Rock High School experience.
Superb Round Rock schools
Students in the neighborhood are served by the Round Rock Independent School District, which earns an overall rating of A from Niche. Children can attend Deep Wood Elementary, Chisolm Trail Middle and Round Rock High School. All three schools are within easy walking distance, and both Deep Wood and Chisolm Trail are within the neighborhood’s boundary. Both Deep Wood and Chisolm Trail earn an A-minus from Niche and Round Rock High School earns an A-plus. Students at Round Rock High School can join any of over 130 school-sponsored clubs, and they have the opportunity to play 18 different varsity-level sports. Alternatively, parents can avail themselves of several area private schools, including St. Stephen’s Episcopal School, which is rated as the best private school in the Austin area by Niche.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
