Garlic Creek Buda | New Home Community
If you are looking for a home that is close to Austin, but far enough away to give you that country feel, you might like the newish Garlic Creek subdivision. Located just west of Buda on FM-967, Garlic Creek has good access to Austin and other points north, to San Marcos and San Antonio and other points south via IH-35. Residents can also get to Austin via FM-1626 and Brodie Lane. Other nice neighborhoods in the vicinity of Garlic Creek include Whispering Hollow and Cullen Country. The subdivision is located close to schools, shopping (including Southpark Meadows, HEB, Cabela's) and the Buda Sportsplex and YMCA.
Sales of new homes in Garlic Creek began in 2007. A drive through the neighborhood will show that building has slowed with the economy. You will also discover a very nice neighborhood with lovely homes built by Centex and Mercedes Homes. Eventually some 850 homes are planned.
Prospective home buyers can find homes on 50' and 60' lots, in sizes from just over 1,500 sq. ft. to almost 3,400 sq. ft. You likely can find or build a new home that fits your budget or locate a resale home that catches your eye also. Prices for new homes run from the mid-$160s all the way to the $250s. Both 1- and 2-story models are available.
The Garlic Creek House, at the heart of the community center, includes a number of amenities that Garlic Creek residents and their families can enjoy.
