Relocating to the Area in Cedar Park
The right part of Austin for your job, your commute and your schools, from someone who has lived here since 1976.
Relocating to the Area in Cedar Park: what's different here
Moving to Cedar Park for a job usually comes with a start date, a few trips to look, and a long list of neighborhoods you've read about. Cedar Park keeps growing north with the 183A corridor and employers like Firefly, and its southern edge sits close to the Apple Parmer campus.
The right fit depends on what the move is for: the commute, the schools, or more land around you.
Why Cedar Park buyers work with me
I've lived in Northwest Austin since 1976, and much of my recent business has been along the Parmer and 183 corridors as buyers follow the jobs north. I grew up in the school pipeline many relocating families ask about, from Spicewood Elementary to Canyon Vista and Westwood, and I've watched these neighborhoods grow. Cedar Park is its own city along 183A and Parmer, with schools that can fall in Round Rock ISD or Leander ISD depending on the address.
How I handle it in Cedar Park
- A consultation about your job, commute, schools and timeline before we look at a single listing. Getting ready.
- Video calls and listing videos to narrow the list before you fly in.
- An early decision on buying first or selling first, with your lender, if your down payment is tied up in another state. Selling and buying at once.
- Notes on each home, including the trade-offs a listing won't mention.
