- Zip Code: 78610
- MLS Area: HH (Hays County)
- Whispering Hollow is located in a quiet setting west of Buda just south of FM 967 on FM 1826. 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 approved in October 2007 by the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO). It is still not clear when the road will be funded. When built, this road will relieve traffic congestion on Brodie (through the Shady Hollow area) and W. Slaughter Lanes, and will help residents of Buda and Kyle who work in Austin.
