Easton Park is a 2,700-acre master-planned community in southeast Austin (78744), planned for about 12,000 homes from eight builders, and it's become the benchmark for amenity-rich new construction on this side of town. Think a 14,000-square-foot amenity center, more than 350 acres of parks, and over 13 miles of trails, all minutes from the airport, Tesla, and Circuit of the Americas. Here's the honest rundown for buyers, including the two things the sales offices won't lead with: the school district and the MUD.
Here's the complete 2026 tour of Easton Park so you can get a feel for the community:
Easton Park is one of the largest master-planned communities in the Austin area, spanning more than 2,700 acres in southeast Austin and planned for roughly 12,000 homes at full build-out. It has effectively become the amenity benchmark for new construction on this side of town: a big, connected, walkable community with its own retail, an enormous park and trail network, and eight builders offering everything from compact urban homes to larger family plans. It's minutes from Austin-Bergstrom airport, the Tesla Gigafactory, and Circuit of the Americas, which is a big part of why southeast Austin, and Easton Park specifically, has grown so fast.
Eight builders are actively selling in Easton Park, which gives you unusually wide choice for a single community, from smaller urban and townhome-style products up to larger family homes. The active builders:
| Builder |
|---|
| Brookfield Residential (also the master developer) |
| David Weekley Homes |
| Highland Homes |
| Newmark Homes |
| Pacesetter Homes |
| Perry Homes |
| Taylor Morrison |
| Tri Pointe Homes |
With this many builders, the smart move is to shop across them rather than fall for the first model. They differ on price, floor-plan flexibility, and incentives, and the model rep works for the builder, not for you. I represent you at no cost from the first visit, which is how you compare them honestly and capture the incentives.
Because Easton Park spans everything from compact urban homes to larger family plans across eight builders, prices cover a wide band, generally from the low $300s into the $500s and up depending on the builder, size, and section, with quick-move-in homes often available. Builder incentives (rate buydowns, closing-cost help) are common and can matter more to your monthly payment than list price. I pull current pricing and the real net cost on any specific home before you decide.
Amenities are Easton Park's headline, and they're genuinely a step above most communities. The centerpiece is The Union, a 14,000-square-foot amenity center with a resort-style pool, fitness center, coworking space, and social areas. Beyond it, the community has more than 350 acres of parks and a 13-plus-mile trail system, including Skyline Park (about 21 acres, with a splash pad, hillside slides, and a zip line), plus Bryant, Kieke, Discovery, and Knob Hill parks and the Easton Bark dog park. For everyday needs, The Grove at Easton Park retail already has CVS, McDonald's, and Cheba Hut, with an H-E-B announced nearby. For a buyer who wants a true amenity-and-lifestyle community, this is the top of the class in southeast Austin.
Here's a point every Easton Park buyer needs to know: it's Del Valle ISD, not Austin ISD, even though the address reads Austin. Newton Collins Elementary sits right inside the community, and homes are zoned to Del Valle ISD campuses on up to Del Valle High School. Because the district is growing and rezoning, I confirm the exact elementary, middle, and high school for any specific home. You can see how the district fits together in my Del Valle ISD schools guide.
This is the part I make sure every Easton Park buyer understands. Easton Park sits in the Pilot Knob MUD (Municipal Utility District), a special assessment that helped fund the community's infrastructure and that you pay on top of the standard Del Valle ISD, city, and county taxes. That MUD adds meaningfully to your tax rate, which changes your real monthly payment versus a non-district home at the same price. It's not a reason to avoid Easton Park, lots of great communities carry a MUD, but it's a reason to put the assessment in your math up front. My MUD and PID guide shows exactly how to check the rate for any address.
Easton Park sits in southeast Austin, about 12 miles from downtown, near SH-130 and US-183, which puts the airport, the Tesla Gigafactory, and Circuit of the Americas all within a short drive. That job-and-access advantage is a big reason the community has filled in so quickly. As always, if you commute into central Austin, test-drive the route at your real hour.
Easton Park gives you two things most communities can't match: amenities (The Union, Skyline Park, 350 acres of parks and 13 miles of trails) and builder choice (eight of them). The two things to weigh against that are the Pilot Knob MUD, which raises your monthly payment, and the fact that it's Del Valle ISD, not Austin ISD, which surprises a lot of buyers who see an Austin address. Neither is a dealbreaker, but both belong in your decision, and I put the real monthly number and the exact school zone in front of you before you commit.
I'll get you the current pricing across all eight builders, the real incentives, the exact school zone, and the Pilot Knob MUD math for any home, and I represent you at no cost from your first model-home visit.
