About Bear Creek
Bear Creek is a residential area in southwest Austin, Travis County, encompassing multiple subdivisions along Bear Creek and its tributaries. The area straddles the Austin city limits, with approximately half of the properties within city boundaries and half in unincorporated Travis County. It is accessible via Brodie Lane, FM 1626, Slaughter Lane, and SH 45 (which connects to MoPac/Loop 1), and lies approximately 10 to 13 miles southwest of downtown Austin in ZIP codes 78739 and 78748.
The area includes several distinct subdivisions developed at different times. Bear Creek Park was established in 1971 when O.H. Poole subdivided his farm. Bridges at Bear Creek was developed from 2008 to 2016 by builders including Lennar Homes, Buffington Homes, Mercedes Homes, and Megatel Homes, featuring stone and stucco homes with Mediterranean-influenced details on lots ranging from standard frontage to estate-sized parcels of half an acre to one acre. The Hills of Bear Creek, developed by MileStone beginning around 2014 near FM 1626 and Brodie Lane, added 78 homes ranging from 1,700 to 2,800 square feet.
The area is not gated. Individual subdivisions maintain separate homeowners associations; Bridges at Bear Creek has a mandatory HOA (Bridges of Bear Creek Master HOA), and Hills of Bear Creek has its own HOA.
SH 45 provides improved connectivity to MoPac, reducing commute times to central and north Austin. The area is near the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and several Austin parks and retail centers.
