About Cantarra
Cantarra is a master-planned residential community in Pflugerville, Travis County, Texas, located along the SH-130 and Cameron Road corridor in the northern part of the city. The community sits inside zip code 78660 and is universally listed by MLS, HAR, Zillow, and its primary builder D.R. Horton under Pflugerville rather than Austin, even though Austin's extraterritorial jurisdiction boundary overlaps parts of the surrounding area.
Cantarra is built primarily by D.R. Horton and is organized as a single-family subdivision with a mix of one- and two-story floor plans on traditional suburban lot sizes. The community is governed by a mandatory homeowners association with architectural review and pays property taxes to the city of Pflugerville, Travis County, and Pflugerville ISD.
Cantarra is zoned to Pflugerville Independent School District. The attendance zone for the community feeds Dessau Elementary, Bohls Middle School (the newer PfISD secondary campus that now serves the north-Pflugerville feeder pattern), and Weiss High School. Residents have direct access to SH-130 and SH-45, which provide connections south to the Tesla Gigafactory Texas area in eastern Travis County, north to Round Rock, and west into Austin proper via US-290 and I-35.
Cantarra's location places it within the broader Pflugerville housing market, which is characterized by newer construction, production-builder neighborhoods, and proximity to both the north-Austin employment centers and the eastern Travis County industrial corridor along SH-130. Nearby amenities include Lake Pflugerville and the Pflugerville Recreation Center, both operated by the city of Pflugerville.
