The Highlands at Crystal Falls brings together the natural character of the Texas Hill Country and the everyday convenience that makes Leander such a compelling place to call home. Located within the broader Crystal Falls community in Leander’s 78641 ZIP code, The Highlands is centered near the intersection of Lakeline Boulevard and Osage Drive. It’s an established neighborhood with a strong sense of place, landscaped streets, and a lifestyle built around outdoor recreation.
As specialists in Leander real estate, The Cummings Team® knows that a neighborhood is about more than square footage. It’s about how a home supports the way you want to live—from school-day routines and weekends outdoors to entertaining friends and enjoying Hill Country views.

When Were Homes Built in The Highlands at Crystal Falls?
Homes in The Highlands were built primarily from about 2007 through 2015, allowing buyers to find established homes without moving into one of Leander’s earliest neighborhoods. That vintage often means more developed landscaping and a neighborhood layout that has had time to mature.
The Highlands was built by a noteworthy collection of respected homebuilders:
- David Weekley Homes
- Buffington Homes
- Drees Custom Homes
- Mercedes Homes
- Highland Homes
- Taylor Morrison
- Perry Homes
What Types of Homes Will You Find?
The Highlands is predominantly a neighborhood of detached single-family homes, but it doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all feel. Because several builders contributed to the community, buyers will find a broad mix of floor plans, elevations, finishes, and sizes. Reported builder-specific home sizes span roughly 1,692 to 4,800 square feet, creating options for buyers seeking a more manageable layout as well as those who want a larger home with generous living space.
Across the neighborhood, homes may include features such as single-story or two-story floor plans, flexible living areas, three-car garages, oversized primary-suite showers, balconies, and large rear windows positioned to take in Hill Country views. Some of the larger Perry and Highland Homes plans were designed for oversized lots and grander entries, while builders such as Taylor Morrison and Mercedes offered an especially varied selection of layouts.
Local Amenities: Quarry Park and Outdoor Living
A standout reason residents love The Highlands is Quarry Park Amenity Center, the community gathering place. It gives the neighborhood a built-in option for swimming, playtime, casual outings, and meeting neighbors without traveling far from home.
Residents can enjoy amenities that include:
- A junior Olympic-size pool and children’s splash pad
- Open green space and picnic areas
- A stocked fishing pond
- An 18-hole disc golf course
- A playscape and outdoor gathering areas
These amenities complement the broader Hill Country setting and help make The Highlands especially appealing to buyers who value an active, outdoor-oriented lifestyle. Amenity access, rules, and operating details are subject to community policies and should be confirmed during a home search.
