About Canyon Creek
Canyon Creek is a well-established neighborhood in north Austin and Round Rock, located along US-183 near the intersection with Anderson Mill Road. Developed primarily in the 1980s and 1990s, the community is one of the larger master-planned neighborhoods in the area, featuring tree-lined streets, community parks, and a strong homeowners association that maintains common areas, pools, and recreational facilities.
Homes in Canyon Creek typically range from $350,000 to $600,000, with some larger or updated properties exceeding that range. The housing stock includes single-family residences in traditional Texas suburban styles with brick and stone exteriors, attached garages, and lot sizes generally ranging from 6,000 to 10,000 square feet. Sections within Canyon Creek vary in age and style, with the newer phases offering more contemporary floor plans.
Canyon Creek is served by the Round Rock Independent School District (Round Rock ISD), one of Central Texas's TEA-recognized districts. Students typically attend Fern Bluff Elementary or Canyon Creek Elementary, Canyon Vista Middle School, and Westwood High School. Westwood is nationally recognized for its STEM programs, academic competitions, and overall academic performance.
US-183 provides direct highway access, placing The Domain approximately 15 minutes south and downtown Austin 25-30 minutes south. The Lakeline Mall shopping area is within 10 minutes, and the Research Boulevard tech corridor is readily accessible. The neighborhood's combination of Round Rock ISD schools, community amenities, and relative affordability makes it a consistent draw for buyers relocating to the Austin metro.
Living in Canyon Creek
Canyon Creek draws buyers seeking Round Rock ISD's well-regarded schools — particularly the Westwood High School attendance zone — at price points well below many competing neighborhoods. Homes in the $350K-$600K range come with the community infrastructure of a mature master-planned development: multiple pools, parks, playgrounds, and a responsive HOA that keeps common areas maintained.
The trade-off for Canyon Creek's value is the commute: downtown Austin is 25-30 minutes via US-183, and traffic on the corridor can extend that during peak hours. However, for those working in the US-183 tech corridor, The Domain area, or Round Rock, the commute is manageable. The neighborhood's mature tree canopy, quiet interior streets, and established community character make it a stable choice in north Austin.
