1821 Golden Arrow Ave

Cedar Park sits about 16 miles northwest of Austin, occupying a sweet spot where the energy of a major metro gradually gives way to the quieter rhythm of Central Texas Hill Country. The city has grown steadily into a well-rounded community anchored by strong employer proximity to Austin's tech corridor, making it a practical base for people who work in the city but prefer more room to breathe. Cedar Park's roots go back to 1873, when the area was still called Running Brushy, named after a spring that fed the headwaters of a local creek—a piece of history the city has worked to preserve alongside its forward momentum.

Neighborhoods here range from established residential pockets near Brushy Creek to newer developments closer to the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park, home to the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League. The housing stock reflects that range, with apartment communities, townhomes, and garden-style rentals spread throughout the city.
