About Brushy Bend Park
Brushy Bend Park is an established neighborhood in Round Rock, Texas, located along Brushy Creek between Brushy Creek Road and Sam Bass Road, just south of FM 1431 in Williamson County. The community dates to the mid-1970s and continued developing through the 1980s, with some additional construction in the 1990s and 2000s. Homes here sit on large lots, with most parcels exceeding one acre and some reaching six acres or more. The average home size is approximately 2,800 square feet, though the range varies given the multi-decade build-out period. Brushy Creek runs through the neighborhood, providing a natural corridor with mature pecan, oak, and elm trees and riparian habitat that supports local wildlife including herons, turtles, and white-tailed deer. The large-lot, semi-rural character of Brushy Bend Park sets it apart from the surrounding subdivisions built in the 2000s and 2010s, where quarter-acre lots are the norm.
The neighborhood is served by two school districts depending on the lot's position relative to the district boundary that runs through the community. The southern portion of Brushy Bend Park falls within Round Rock ISD, with students attending Brushy Creek Elementary, Cedar Valley Middle School, and Round Rock High School. The northern portion is in Leander ISD, where students attend Ronald Reagan Elementary or Akin Elementary, Stiles Middle School, and Vista Ridge High School. MLS data shows Stiles Middle School as the most common middle school assignment for current listings, followed by Cedar Valley, Walsh, Artie L. Henry, and Four Points middle schools. Buyers should verify the district boundary for any specific lot, as the line runs through the community and has direct implications for tax rates, school assignments, and bond obligations.
Round Rock, with a population exceeding 240,000, is the largest city in Williamson County and a regional center for employment, retail, and healthcare. Dell Technologies maintains its global headquarters in Round Rock, and the city is home to multiple hospital systems including Ascension Seton Williamson and St. David's Round Rock Medical Center. Round Rock Premium Outlets, an outlet shopping center with more than 125 stores, draws shoppers from across the region. Kalahari Resorts, a 223,000-square-foot indoor waterpark and convention center that opened in 2020, added a tourism and hospitality anchor to the city. The Dell Diamond, a 7,781-seat minor league baseball stadium and home of the Round Rock Express, hosts games and events from spring through fall. All of these employment and entertainment destinations are accessible from Brushy Bend Park within 10 to 20 minutes by car.
Many properties in Brushy Bend Park have enough land for outbuildings, horse facilities, or substantial gardens, and some homeowners maintain small agricultural operations or hobby farms. The Brushy Creek corridor that passes through the neighborhood connects to the Brushy Creek Regional Trail, a paved multi-use path extending approximately 11 miles between Cedar Park and Round Rock, open for walking, running, and cycling. The 90-acre Brushy Creek Lake Park, managed by the City of Cedar Park, is nearby and includes a 38-acre lake with a kayak and canoe launch, a fishing pier, a water playscape, sand volleyball courts, and three pavilions with BBQ grills. The neighborhood has an active property owners association, the Brushy Bend Park POA, which manages community communications and coordinates on shared concerns such as road maintenance and drainage along Brushy Creek. Because the housing stock spans several decades, buyers will find a range of architectural styles and condition levels, from original 1970s ranch-style homes on large wooded lots to fully renovated or rebuilt properties with modern finishes.
Living in Brushy Bend Park
Brushy Bend Park offers large-lot living within the urban footprint of Round Rock, which is uncommon for a neighborhood this close to major employment centers and retail corridors. Most lots exceed one acre, giving homeowners space for workshops, gardens, storage buildings, or simply a wide buffer from adjacent properties. Brushy Creek provides a year-round water feature along the neighborhood's edge, and the mature tree canopy includes pecan, oak, and elm species planted decades ago that provide substantial shade during Central Texas summers. Daily errands are handled at commercial centers along FM 1431, Sam Bass Road, and I-35, with H-E-B, Walmart, Target, and various restaurants all within a 10-minute drive. The 90-acre Brushy Creek Lake Park, managed by Cedar Park, is a short drive away and offers a 38-acre lake with a kayak launch, a fishing pier, a playground, a water playscape, and paved trails. The Brushy Creek Regional Trail extends approximately 11 miles along the creek corridor, providing a dedicated route for walking, running, and cycling that connects multiple parks and neighborhoods.
Commute times to downtown Austin are typically 30 to 45 minutes via I-35 or Mopac Expressway, depending on traffic and time of day. Many Round Rock residents work locally at Dell Technologies, the healthcare systems, or the city's growing roster of technology and logistics employers, which can reduce or eliminate the need for a daily drive into Austin. Capital Metro operates limited bus service in Round Rock, but most residents rely on personal vehicles for daily transportation. The split between Round Rock ISD and Leander ISD means families should confirm their specific district assignment before enrolling, as the two districts have different tax rates, calendars, and school configurations. Property taxes are assessed by Williamson County at the applicable city and school district rates. Because the housing stock spans from the 1970s to the 2000s, buyers should budget for potential updates to roofing, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems on older properties, though many homes have been updated over the years. The neighborhood's POA maintains communication channels through a website and coordinates on shared concerns such as road conditions, drainage issues along Brushy Creek, and neighborhood events.
