Cold Springs is an attractive new home community on the east side of Leander that offers great neighborhood amenities and great homes. If you are looking for a home that is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and yet close enough to schools, shopping, jobs and recreation outlets, give Cold Springs a look. The subdivision is located is Southwest Williamson County on the west side of Ronald Reagan Blvd.(W. Parmer Lane) between FM-1431 and Crystal Falls Pkwy.
Three well-known Austin area builders are developing Cold Springs: Mercedes Homes, Buffington Signature Homes and Centex Homes. Together, these firms offer 25 different home plans that range in size from 1,534 sq. ft. to almost 4,600 sq. ft. Base prices for homes with standard features and elevations vary from $170k to around $300k. You do have a number of upgrade options available on "to-be-built" homes.
The standard feature set that is included with Cold Springs homes makes the homes very nice to own and live in. These features include gourmet kitchens, masonry on all sides of the home, energy efficiency features and more. When we visited the neighborhood a few weeks ago, we found the neighborhood to be attractive, well-landscaped, and (in spite of the current economy) moving forward in development. We visited with a family living in the community and learned that they love living in Cold Springs and are well satisfied with their home purchase there.
The Cold Springs community center has a very nice neighborhood park with play equipment for children (playscapes, rock climbing feature), a covered picnic pavilion, basketball court and hike & bike trails. Future plans for ths 8.2 acre community center include a junior Olympic swimming pool. Residents also have access the 32+ acre Lake Lakewood on the west side of the property.
What about shopping? Check out the many options along FM-1431 in Cedar Park and US-183 and at Lakeside Mall. Golfers can hone their skills (and lose a few balls!) at the Avery Ranch and Crystal Falls Golf Clubs. If you are into the great outdoors, the Williamson County Regional Park, Brushy Creek Lake Park and Lake Travis are among the nearby options. Students attend schools of the Leander Independent School District.
