Steiner Ranch Austin Hill Country Neighborhood

The neighborhood called Steiner Ranch is really quite special! Located in the Hill Country west of Austin, Steiner Ranch is just south of Lake Travis off RR 620. It also borders on Lake Austin at its southern and western edges. The primary road going through Steiner Ranch meanders down the rolling hills to Lake Austin. It also passes and gives some good views of the University of Texas Golf Club.

Located 15 miles or so from Downtown Austin, Steiner Ranch gives its residents many opportunities for living the "good life" while being able to work for major Austin area employers and attend schools of higher education. Shopping is also readily accessible to families who live in Steiner Ranch. Nearby developments include the Lakeline Mall, the Hill Country Galleria in the Village of Bee Cave and many places in Lakeway and Cedar Park.

Because of its setting on some 4600 acres of prime real estate, Steiner Ranch offers homeowners some outstanding golf course, Hill Country and lake views. For me, living in Steiner Ranch or neighboring River Place would be like being on vacation to parts of the country where there are similar views. There are three community centers in Steiner Ranch and 18 miles of trails that connect the many individual neighborhoods in Steiner Ranch. Over 800 acres of green space have been preserved in the development.

Homes in Steiner Ranch come in a wide range of sizes and prices: from around 1,600 to over 7,000 sq. ft., and from around $215K to over $3 million! If the area fits your eye, your budget, and your family needs, you can likely find a very nice home in Steiner Ranch. Options for your Steiner Ranch abode include new and resale homes, several gated communities (including those on Lake Austin and the UT Golf Club), and homes with views and those with no view. The homes range in age from 1988 to 2008, making this large development about the same age as the popular Southwest Austin community Circle C Ranch. For those looking for a new home, there are a number of quality builders still practicing their craft in Steiner Ranch.

Membership in the Steiner Ranch HOA is required. Students living in Steiner Ranch learn the 3 Rs at schools of the Leander Independent School District. Three of these schools (2 elementary, 1 middle) are located within the Steiner Ranch subdivision.
