Rim Rock Subdivision | Austin | Driftwood | Real Estate
If you are looking for a nice home, or a place to build a home, in the Hill Country real estate southwest of Austin, it might be worth your while to take a gander at Rim Rock. This upscale neighborhood, begun in 2006, is located off FM-1826 about 4 miles from Driftwood, and is very close to an Austin food favorite: Salt Lick BBQ. Rim Rock is about 19 miles from downtown Austin. The setting for Rim Rock is quite serene: away from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet close enough to Austin to enjoy all it offers in the way of jobs, entertainment, shopping and sports (including the Grey Rock Golf Club).
Homes in Rim Rock typically range from the $300s to more than $600K. Lots in the original section of Rim Rock can be purchased for a custom build (choose your own builder). All Rim Rock lots are at least 1 acre in size. Some are larger than 2 acres. In late March 2009, there were still plenty nice lots available.
In the newer sections of Rim Rock, builders Lennar Homes and Mercedes Homes offer a number of choices of floor plans and home sizes. Mercedes offerings start at a base price of just above $300K, and range in size from 2,600 sq. ft. to 4,130 sq. ft. Lennar's homes range in size from near 3,100 sq. ft. and go up to 4,230 sq. ft. Lennar's base prices begin at around $440,000. All of these homes are feature-packed to enhance the quality of life at home. Upgrades to home features and building elevations are available from both builders.
