The Top Neighborhood for Austin Texas Real Estate is Steiner Ranch!

The Top Neighborhood for Austin Texas Real Estate is Steiner Ranch!

Steiner Ranch, in MLS area RN, or zip code 78732, was named “Best Master-Planned Community” in the greater Austin area from the Austin Business Journal in 2004. And for good reason. This mega-community, bordered by RR 620 to the north, Lake Austin to the West and South, and neighboring River Place to the east encompasses a nature preserve-like atmosphere to complement its stellar location of rolling hills and the winding placidity of Lake Austin, which, moderated by the LCRA, retains a constant depth year round. 

With 819 acres set aside for preservation and 12 miles of trails, Steiner prides itself in fusing well with its environment. The 27,000-acre Balcones Canyonland Conservation Preserve surrounds the development, offering many homes and sites the backyard of a consistent greenbelt. The general area hosts 10 golf courses, eight boat launches, 19 marinas and 15 public parks. Water enthusiasts are within 5 minutes of either Fritz Hughes, Selma Hughes or Mary Quinlan Parks, all providing public access to Lake Austin.

Within Steiner, homeowners are required to respect the design standards and upkeep of the community by paying two installments totaling 0 in HOA dues. These dues not only include trash and recycling service, but also employ a full-time activities director who helps organize events such as summer camps and wine tastings. Gated areas within Steiner Ranch have additional fees to cover the gates and private street maintenance.

The University of Texas’ own Golf Club, a 71 – 7,225 yard championship course, sprawls over 275 acres in the middle of the neighborhood. Wincing and regrouping from a fire that downed the clubhouse at the beginning of 2008, the home course for the University’s Men’s and Women’s varsity golf programs offers very limited membership opportunity for local golfers.
Lake Austin Spa, the only destination health spa in the country with a waterfront location, is located at the southern tip of Steiner Ranch. Ranked #2 by Conde Nast Traveller as the best destination spa in North America, the spa has recently renovated its rooms with an eye on the top spot. Housing an intimate 40-room resort with a new 25,000 sq foot spa facility, their laid back approach on 19 acres continues to live up to its reputation.

Not surprisingly, schools get good marks at Steiner Ranch. Served by the Leander Independent School District, students attend Recognized Steiner Ranch Elementary, and both Exemplary Laura Welch Bush Elementary and Canyon Ridge Middle Schools, all located within the community. Nearby Cedar Park High is the destination for 9th-12th grade students.

With so much to offer, Steiner Ranch still manages to offer homes for many different types of buyers. Starting in the low 0’s (and heading well over million), homeowners enjoy larger homes ranging from 2,000-7,000 sq feet.
