About Pflugerville
Pflugerville is a city of approximately 75,000 residents in Travis County, located directly northeast of Austin along SH-130 and FM 685. Founded in the late 1840s by German immigrant Henry Pfluger, the city remained a small farming community until suburban expansion from Austin reached its borders in the 1990s and triggered decades of sustained growth. Pflugerville is notable for having no city property tax, funding its municipal operations instead through sales tax revenue and utility fees. The city borders Austin to the south and west, Round Rock to the north, and Hutto and Manor to the east.
Pflugerville's housing market consists primarily of single-family subdivisions built between the 1990s and the present. Major neighborhoods include Blackhawk, Falcon Pointe, Villages of Hidden Lake, Avalon, and Sorento, each offering different price points and home sizes. Home prices generally run below the Austin city average but above Manor and Hutto, placing Pflugerville in the mid-range for the metro area. Lot sizes are typically suburban at 5,000-8,000 square feet in newer developments, with some older neighborhoods near Pecan Street offering larger plots. The market includes a mix of entry-level starter homes, move-up family houses, and some townhome and apartment construction along the SH-130 corridor.
Pflugerville ISD serves approximately 27,000 students across more than 30 campuses, making it one of the larger school districts in the Austin area. High schools include Hendrickson, Connally, Weiss, and Pflugerville High School, the original campus. The district has built multiple new schools since 2010 to keep pace with residential growth and has invested in STEM programming, career readiness initiatives, and dual-language programs at the elementary level. Academic performance varies by campus but generally tracks near state averages. Austin Community College has a campus in the area along Wells Branch Parkway, and the University of Texas main campus is about 20 minutes south.
SH-130 provides a fast tolled route along Pflugerville's eastern side, connecting to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in about 20 minutes southbound and Georgetown to the north. I-35 is accessible a few miles west through north Austin or Round Rock. FM 685, Pecan Street (FM 1825), and Grand Avenue Parkway are the main local arterials handling east-west and north-south traffic within the city. The Stone Hill Town Center on SH-130 has become a major commercial hub with an H-E-B Plus, a movie theater, restaurants, and retail shops. Lake Pflugerville, a 180-acre reservoir built in 2006, offers fishing, kayaking, and a 3-mile paved trail loop that is one of the most popular outdoor spots in the city. The Pflugerville Pfarmers Market operates on Tuesdays during growing season, and Deutschen Pfest, held each May, celebrates the city's German heritage with food, music, and family activities.
