Live Music Capital of the World. The next Silicon Valley. The capital of Texas. Home of the University of Texas. Weird. Austin, with a population of around 1 million, possesses many identities. The one thing that brings all of those identities under one roof is the much-praised quality of life in Austin. But don’t take our word for it. In 2020, U.S. News & World Report named Austin the best place to live in the country.
Ranked as the third most diverse suburb in the Austin area and the fifth best city in Texas, Pflugerville has a pfunny name and, appropriately, offers plenty of pfun. It’s home to the 180-acre Lake Pflugerville, the adjacent Lake Pflugerville Park, and the Typhoon Texas waterpark; and it hosts several annual festivals.
Situated about 15 miles northeast of Austin, Manor is close enough to the big city for convenience, yet far enough away to immerse yourself in small-town living. Now bursting with subdivisions of one- and two-story, single-family homes, Manor (pronounced MAY-ner) has witnessed stunning growth. Its population skyrocketed 187% from 2010 to 2019, with 13,866 people calling it home as of July 2019. It’s poised for even more growth, thanks to its proximity to the State Highway 130 (SH 130) toll road and its abundance of affordable land. A proposed 27-mile extension of the region’s MetroRail commuter line would connect Manor to downtown Austin. Just to the east of Manor’s city limits is the Wildhorse master-planned community. The community, which covers 1,500 acres near SH 130 and U.S. Highway 290 East, is propelling growth in and around Manor.
Round Rock is recognized around the world as the global headquarters of tech giant Dell Technologies Inc., which posted $92.2 billion in revenue during its 2020 budget year. But Austin’s largest suburb is known for much more than one of the region’s largest employers. Round Rock is also home to the minor-league Round Rock Express baseball team, the highly rated Round Rock Independent School District, three college campuses, over 20 miles of hike-and-bike trails, and more than 30 parks—including the 640-acre Old Settlers Park. Perhaps most importantly, it’s ranked one of the best U.S. cities to buy a house and one of the country’s coolest suburbs.
If you love outdoor recreation and indoor sports, Cedar Park might be the spot for you. This Austin suburb features 1,000 acres of parkland, 30 miles of trails, the minor-league Texas Stars hockey team, and the minor-league Austin Spurs basketball team. And if you’re in the mood for entertainment, the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park—the home arena of the Stars and Spurs—hosts an array of concerts, shows, and other events.
From 2018 to 2019, the population of Leander expanded by an eye-popping 12%. That put it at No. 1 in the country for the one-year growth rate among cities with at least 50,000 residents. So, why did Leander’s population skyrocket to 62,608 as of July 2019? There’s a slew of answers to that question. One reason: The Leander Independent School District ranks among the top 25 school districts in Texas. Additionally, the MetroRail commuter line runs from Leander to downtown Austin, enabling residents to work at one of Austin’s many employers yet live in the suburbs. For those who prefer to drive, the 183A toll road runs through Leander.
