Round Rock is moving forward with a major residential expansion that will add 900 single-family homes to the northeastern part of the city. Set to unfold over the next 10 years, the development will cover 230 acres and help meet the area’s growing housing demand. With home prices expected to range from $400,000 to $500,000, the project aims to offer more options for buyers. It will also introduce a municipal utility district (MUD) to fund essential infrastructure for the new community.

The Round Rock City Council approved the annexation of the land. It also officially created Round Rock MUD #3, clearing the way for development to begin. This move allows the developer to start work on vital infrastructure, including roads, water lines, sewer systems, and drainage. Instead of relying on city funds, the project will use district-issued bonds, which homeowners in the MUD will repay through district taxes. The total cost to establish the MUD is estimated at $77.1 million, with most of the funds going toward roads and utilities. The plan also reserves nearly $1 million for parks and amenities like walking trails, playgrounds, and pools.

The new neighborhood will offer a mix of 50, 60, and 70-foot lots, giving buyers several layout options. Residents will receive reliable water service from the city. They will also have full access to standard municipal services such as police and fire protection. However, they should plan for both city property taxes and MUD-specific taxes. Construction is set to begin in summer 2026, once the developer secures final approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

This project reinforces the continued growth in Round Rock and highlights the city’s appeal as a top destination in Central Texas. With a strong foundation of public services and easy access to major employment centers, the city is ready to welcome new homeowners. Over the next decade, this development will help meet the growing housing demand and enhance the local landscape. It will also support Round Rock’s future as a thriving, well-connected community.
