Community Name: Circle C Ranch, located just off of South Mopac and Slaughter Lane, which is just 15 minutes from downtown without traffic. Here is their community website: www.circlecranch.com.
Community Description and Highlights: Circle C is one of the best areas in town for young families. This master planned community features a huge olympic sized swimming pool, complete with swimming lessons for kids of all ages, a shaded baby pool, and space for great kids' swimming parties. Every street is lined with ample sidewalks for kids to play and moms to stroller around the youngsters. Neighbors are super-friendly here, and if you have kids, they will have plenty of playmates on each block.
Homes range from the low 300's (for a 3000+ square foot home with a large lot and 4 bedrooms built in the late 80's) to the mid 600's (for a brand new 4000+ square foot home with a large lot and 5 bedrooms).
Community Amenities: There is a great park for biking, soccer, frisbee golf and a huge shaded playscape just outside the entrance to Circle C. (Circle C Ranch Metropolitan Park: http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/parks/parkmaps/downloads/circle_c.pdf).
Also, within minutes is a big fancy HEB (grocery store) along with several upscale shops and quick eateries. A huge 24 Hour Fitness, endorsed by Lance Armstrong, is just five minutes away (http://www.24hourfitness.com/db/club_detail.generate_club?p_clb_num=00676&p_return=OFF).
The Circle C Golf Club not only has great golfing, but has frequent movies in the park in the summer for kids in the community (http://www.thegolfclubatcirclec.com/page/101-2512.htm).
The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is also just on the other side of Mopac, and it has tons of kids events that teach about the value of nature (http://www.wildflower.org/).
Oh, and some great news about this area is that it is expanding like crazy. Developers are planning to build a first-class spa and resort, another golf course, and many more upscale shops in this area. So, your property values stand to go up and up.
Schools: Kiker Elementary is one of the best in town with great community involvement and great test scores. Joe Dan Mills is another elementary in the area that is not known to be quite as outstanding as Kiker. Clayton is a brand new elementary just built and ready for kids this past August, and so far it seems to be a fabulous school from what we have heard from friends and past clients. Bailey middle school is a decent solid school, as is Bowie High.
