Sunfield in Buda, TX: A Master-Planned Community with Endless Perks
If you’ve been searching for a neighborhood that blends small-town charm with resort-style amenities, Sunfield in Buda, Texas, should be at the top of your list. With its massive lazy river, new schools, and prime location just south of Austin, Sunfield isn’t just another subdivision — it’s a lifestyle.
I’m Brandon Holley, Broker/Owner of Holley Homes Realty. I spend my days exploring Central Texas communities, checking out new construction, and helping families decide where to put down roots. Today, let’s take a closer look at everything Sunfield has to offer.
Big Plans for Sunfield
Sunfield is one of the largest master-planned communities in Central Texas, and it’s still growing.
- Size: 2,400 acres
- Homes Planned: More than 4,000
- Builders: Six trusted builders offering 50+ floor plans
That variety means you can truly find (or design) a home that fits your style, needs, and budget.
Resort-Style Amenities
This isn’t your average neighborhood pool. Sunfield’s 1,000-foot lazy river has become one of its signature attractions — perfect for floating away the heat of a Texas summer. And that’s just the beginning.
The community also features:
- Multiple pools
- Dog parks
- Miles of hike and bike trails
- Community gathering spaces for events
Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a parent looking for safe play areas, or someone who just loves convenience, Sunfield has something for you.
Schools in Sunfield
Families will love that Sunfield is part of Hays CISD, with a brand-new Sunfield Elementary opening right inside the neighborhood.
Here’s the current school lineup:
- Sunfield Elementary (opening 2022) – right in the community
- McCormick Middle School – 3.2 miles away
- Johnson High School – 7 miles away (opened in 2019 with modern facilities)
Location & Everyday Convenience
Sunfield’s prime location is another major perk. Just 16 miles south of Downtown Austin, it’s an easy commute into the city while still giving you that laid-back Buda lifestyle.
Nearby essentials include:
- Healthcare: Baylor Scott & White Hospital, plus CareNow Urgent Care just 2.2 miles away
- Groceries: H-E-B and Walmart Supercenter within 2 miles
- Parks: Buda is home to 13 parks covering 268 acres — perfect for hiking, biking, or a picnic after school
And of course, you’re just minutes from Buda’s charming downtown, with its shops, restaurants, and community events.
Real Estate Snapshot
Let’s talk numbers. Over the past decade, home prices in Buda have seen steady growth.
- In 2012, the median sales price was just under $200,000.
- By 2021, it had nearly doubled to just under $400,000.
- Rental prices also climbed from $1,500 in 2012 to over $2,000 in 2021.
With major employers like Tesla and other big companies moving into the area, it’s safe to say this trend will likely continue.
Why Choose Sunfield?
Between the lazy river lifestyle, brand-new schools, close proximity to Austin, and miles of green space, Sunfield checks just about every box. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in, build community, and know your home is in a location with strong growth potential.
If Sunfield sounds like it could be your next home, let’s connect. And if it’s not quite the right fit, I can show you plenty of other new communities across Central Texas.
