Just outside of Austin, Texas, due North on Hwy 183, Leander sits nestled in the Hill Country of the Lone Star state’s central region. Recently recognized as the fastest-growing large city in America, this quiet southern town boasts a slower lifestyle than its bigger neighbors and affords a lower cost of living with easy access to some of Texas’s finest and iconic amenities. Sprawling across just over 34 square miles, this sleepy town covers quintessential southern landscapes and hosts bountiful wildlife while offering a developing economy and robust communities.
Leander sits just 26 miles from Downtown Austin, 17 miles from Round Rock, 5 miles from Cedar Park, and 36 miles from Austin Bergstrom International Airport. Its location near these significant hubs of activity makes it the perfect choice for those looking to work with any of the major employers in the Greater Austin area. 183, I-35, and Loop 1 (Mopac) create quick thoroughfares to downtown or the close-by cities of Dallas, San Antonio, or Houston.
When the great outdoors starts calling, Leander residents can take advantage of the city’s proximity to Lake Travis, Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, Inner Space Caverns, or the numerous regional parks. If shopping is on the to-do list Round Rock Premium Outlets, or locally-owned boutique shops are just minutes away while The Domain is also a short trip and offers a mix of restaurants, bars, and retail. These amenities are a fantastic way to spend your day and when it comes time for a meal out, Downtown Leander has several delicious eatery options such as Jardin Del Rey, Kai Sushi, Mouton’s Southern Bistro, Perky Beans Coffee, Sharks Burger, or Smokey Mo’s.
If Leander is starting to sound like home, you have plenty of neighborhoods to choose from. Summerlyn and Summeryln West offer beautiful houses, from resales to newly built, with low HOA dues and community amenities. Crystal Falls brings a touch of high end living with larger, more sprawling estates and luxurious amenities and golf courses. If top schools are on your must-have list, you are in luck.
