 Where is the Garlic Creek Subdivision Located?
- Zip Code: 78610
- MLS Area: HH (Hays County North)
- Garlic Creek is located just south of FM-967 between Buda to the east and the intersection with FM-1626 on the west. The neighborhood is N/NE of Whispering Hollow, another new home real estate development in the western Buda area.
- Access to Austin is via FM 1626 to Brodie Lane or I-35, or through Buda to I-35. An extension of SH 45 from Mopac to FM 1626 north of Whispering Hollow was recently (Spring 2009) removed from construction plans by the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO), pending outcome of environmental and other studies. It is now estimated that this road will not be built until at least 2012. When built, this road will relieve traffic congestion on Brodie Lane (through the Shady Hollow area) and W. Slaughter Lanes, and will help residents of Buda and Kyle who work in Austin.
