Living in Stone Canyon
Stone Canyon is a master-planned, deed-restricted neighborhood on the west side of Round Rock, platted between 1995 and 2000. The Fern Bluff MUD, the utility district that serves it, counts about 1,100 homes here, which makes it the district's largest neighborhood.
One thing surprises people: the mailing address says Round Rock, but Stone Canyon sits outside Round Rock city limits, in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction. You pay the Fern Bluff MUD's tax instead of the City of Round Rock's, and the MUD runs the parks.

How I serve Stone Canyon
Selling here means explaining the MUD well: what it adds to the tax bill, and the parks, trails and pool a buyer gets for it. Buying here means reading that same tax line next to homes inside the city, so you compare like with like.

Parks, pool and HOA
Stone Canyon has its own HOA, which runs a Junior Olympic swimming pool and a play area. On top of that, the Fern Bluff MUD owns and keeps up six parks in the district, with tennis and basketball courts, a sand volleyball court, pavilions, playscapes and miles of walking and biking trail along the greenbelt. The MUD also has a community center you can rent for events.
The deed restrictions are on file with the MUD, and they're worth reading before you plan a fence, a pool or an addition.
Homes and schools
Homes here date from the late 1990s and early 2000s, so roofs, HVAC systems and windows are the questions that come up most in a sale. Condition and updates vary from one house to the next.
Stone Canyon is in Round Rock ISD. The MUD describes Fern Bluff Elementary as within walking distance, and from there students go to Chisholm Trail Middle School and Round Rock High School. Confirm the assignment for any address you're considering.
Getting around and everyday life
Most trips start on 620, which connects to 183 and I-35. If you'll commute into Austin every day, drive it at your real departure time before you commit. I'd rather you know now than find out in the first week.
