Nine miles south of Austin along the I-35 is where you’ll find Southpark Meadows, a recent addition to the suburbs that surround the capital city of Texas. The homes and apartments in this sprawling suburban come in a variety of styles, but you’ll notice a commitment to stone in the overall aesthetic of the area.
The calling card of Southpark Meadows is a shopping center that shares the same name. An upscale movie theater and popular chain stores abound at the retail plaza, plus a number of restaurants that surround it. Those who aren’t looking for retail therapy will delight in Mary Moore Searight Metropolitan Park that sits just next door.
Southpark Meadows is still well within reach of the conveniences of Austin, but also sits along the corridor to San Antonio to the south.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
