About Bratton
Bratton is a cluster of related subdivisions in northeast Austin (Travis County, ZIP 78728) situated along Bratton Lane, east of I-35 and north of Parmer Lane. The primary sub-communities are Bratton Park, Bratton Hill, and Bratton Glen.
Bratton Park, near the intersection of Merrilltown Drive and Bratton Lane, was built in 1994-1995 with floor plans ranging from 1,300 to 2,000 square feet in hill country-style homes with brick and stone exteriors. Bratton Hill dates to 1998 with more recent construction phases built by William Lyon Homes (circa 2017) and Taylor Morrison, featuring homes around 2,100 square feet with three- to four-bedroom configurations. Bratton Glen has an active homeowners association managed by Goodwin and Company.
The broader area falls within or adjacent to the Wells Branch Municipal Utility District (MUD), a special governmental entity regulated by TCEQ that provides water, wastewater, solid waste, recycling, and composting services. Wells Branch MUD levies a separate tax in addition to Travis County, City of Austin, and school district taxes. The MUD maintains Katherine Fleischer Park with its community center and pool, Mills Pond with a fishing pier and boat dock, approximately six miles of hike-and-bike trails along the Wells Branch greenbelt, an 18-hole disc golf course, a skatepark, and two community pools (Willow Bend Pool is heated and open year-round). Bratton is approximately 16 miles from downtown Austin with direct access to I-35. The area sits less than a mile from the interstate, making it convenient for commuters working along the north Austin technology corridor.
