Good to know

New homes by suburb, answered

Which Austin suburbs have the most new construction?
The most active new-construction suburbs around Austin include Georgetown, Leander, Liberty Hill, Kyle, Buda, Pflugerville, Hutto, Round Rock, Manor, and Dripping Springs. The right one depends on your budget, commute, and school priorities, and many of the best-value new communities sit just outside the city limits where MUD taxes are common.
Which Austin suburb has the most affordable new homes?
Kyle and Buda, both south of Austin in Hays County, and Pflugerville to the northeast are among the most attainable, with new homes commonly starting in the high $200s to high $300s in 2026. Farther-out suburbs generally trade a longer commute for a lower price, so weigh the all-in monthly cost, taxes included, not just the sticker.
Do new homes in the Austin suburbs have higher property taxes?
Often, yes. Many suburban master-planned communities are financed through a MUD or PID that adds to the tax bill, pushing combined effective rates toward 2.5 to 3 percent versus roughly 1.8 to 2.1 percent for non-district homes. Always confirm the exact rate for the specific community and lot, because it can change which suburb is actually cheaper.
