2500 E Howard Ln,
Manor,
TX
78653
Manor, TX, has grown from a quiet railroad town, founded in 1872, into one of the Austin metro area's most energetic suburbs, drawing renters who want breathing room without losing touch with a major city. Positioned about 12 miles northeast of Austin, Manor offers quick access to the employment centers, entertainment, and culture that make the state capital a draw, while keeping things noticeably calmer at home. Austin Community College maintains a campus nearby, giving the city an educational anchor that keeps the area connected to workforce development and learning opportunities.
Day-to-day life here feels grounded and unhurried. A small but charming downtown corridor features well-preserved historic buildings, giving Manor a sense of place that newer suburbs often lack. Neighborhoods range from established residential streets close to the original townsite to master-planned communities like ShadowGlen, where sidewalks, pools, and open green space define the streetscape.
