Block House Creek
Block House Creek will be home to approximately 2,200 residences. In addition to the namesake creek, and attendant greenbelt, the community is home to five parks (for residents' use only) that are maintained by the Block House Municipal Utility District (MUD). The jewel of Block House Creek is the 21-acre Tumlinson Park, home to a beach-entry pool with water slide, and Walker House.
Walker House, which is available for residents to reserve, is located on the site of the former Walker Ranch. Apache Park features a year-round heated pool, home base of the community swim team, the Tidal Waves. Between them, the parks at Block House Creek feature lighted tennis, basketball and skate courts, hike-and-bike trails, ball fields and even a dirt-bike jump.
Homes in Block House Creek range in size from approximately 1,100 to 2,800 square feet and are priced from about $100,000 to upward of $180,000. The houses were built over a nearly 20-year time period, from 1983 to the present, which gives the community a varied look and feel.
Block House Creek, which counts U.S. 183, a major Austin-area thoroughfare, as one of its borders, is far from remote. The neighborhood is becoming more centrally located everyday. Shopping of all kinds is only a stone's throw away from the community's entrance.
Block House Creek Elementary, part of the exemplary Leander Independent School District, is on-site. The remaining schools that serve the community are Artie Henry Middle and Vista Ridge High schools.
