About

Living in Brushy Creek

Brushy Creek is a large, established community that spans the border of Round Rock and Cedar Park, making it one of the most convenient neighborhoods in the northwest Austin corridor. The area is centered around the Brushy Creek Regional Trail, a popular 6.5-mile hike-and-bike path that connects parks, playgrounds, and swimming areas.

Homes range from well-maintained 1990s construction to newer builds, with community amenities including pools, sports courts, and playgrounds. Brushy Creek's central location between both cities provides easy access to excellent schools in both Round Rock ISD and Leander ISD.
