Recently I went to one of the new development sites sprouting out around Austin in Cedar Park. These days Cedar Park and Leander area are the center of the new housing construction and I was in Reagan’s Overlook development site in one of Century Communities home builder.
Back in a day, new home sites were cookie cutter homes that were build in a densely populated areas, but now these houses are all built on one acre lot sites and include all the amenities. You have to drive 7, 8 miles from Parmer and 1431 to get there, but I believe 10-15 years from now they are at the center of activities and population. Exactly where FM 620 used to be 20 years ago. When I built my house in 1994 Lakeline Mall was on the drawing board and 620 was a Farm-to-Market road (Farm to Market Road, there is no more farm or market to take you there). Not to be nostalgic, but I want to provide a point of reference for those who are considering new homes, or considering to build ‘in the county’. Whichever way you look at it 10-15 years from now a “Leander Outdoor Mall” that is on the drawing board now will be a thing of the past and these new communities are right in the thick of things.
