With good Leander ISD schools, major employers close by and being located near major transportation, Crystal Falls has a bright future.  Residents can get into Round Rock or Austin quickly by taking 1431 to 183A.  Also close to Lake Travis, lake recreation is also fairly close to Crystal Falls.

The biggest thing that has happened in Crystal Falls recently was the acquisition of 1200 lots by home builder Taylor Morrison.  Taylor Morrison had a large presence in Steiner Ranch, a similar community a bit closer to Austin.  This purchase was a huge investment so Taylor Morrison must be pretty high on Austin’s future.

Knowing Taylor Morrison’s success in Steiner Ranch, the developer of Crystal Falls saw a good fit.  Taylor Morrison will build 4 new communities within the 440 acres the company purchased.  There will be different products at different price points in each community.  Prices in the various new communities are expected to be from around $200,000 to $400,000.

As Steiner Ranch sells out, many Austin home buyers looking for a nice master-planned community in an area with good schools will probably turn to Crystal Falls.  That could happen over the next several years.  Home sales in Steiner Ranch have been brisk this year with 231 homes sold year-to-date and 44 currently under contract.

In Crystal Falls this year, 52 homes have sold in the MLS and 12 are under contract.  Not all homes sold will be in the MLS so I do not have true numbers for the number of sales this year.  My understanding is that around 1400 homes have been sold in Crystal Falls since it was first developed in the 1990s.

Similar to Steiner Ranch, amenities in Crystal Falls are nice.  There is a golf course, there are a number of community swimming pools and swim centers.  There are a number of parks and playgrounds for the kids.  Crystal Falls also has sports fields, tennis courts and volleyball courts.  In addition, there are picnic areas, a fishing pond and a disc golf course.
