Revelry is a 1,400-acre master-planned community in Del Valle (78617), just east of the airport, with 2,300-plus new homes planned from the mid $300s into the mid $600s. It's one of the biggest new-construction bets in southeast Austin, minutes from Tesla's GigaTexas, the airport, and Circuit of the Americas, built as a walkable, mixed-use community with retail, trails, public art, and a future Del Valle ISD school on site. Here's the honest rundown for buyers eyeing an early-phase home out here.
Here's a look at the major developments shaping Austin's future, including Revelry:
Revelry is a large, early-phase master-planned community in Del Valle, on 1,400 acres at Pearce Lane and Wolf Lane, just east of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. It's designed as more than a subdivision: a multi-phase, mixed-use development with 2,300-plus single-family homes plus retail, greenspace, trails, over 100 acres of multifamily and build-to-rent, and a civic core, with design inspired by East Austin's character and culture. Homes run 3 to 5 bedrooms in one and two-story layouts with open-concept, energy-efficient, and smart-home features. Because it's early, buying here is partly a bet on southeast Austin's growth, which is exactly the conversation I want to have with you before you commit.
Revelry's single biggest draw is where it sits. Southeast Austin has become one of the region's fastest-growing job corridors, and Revelry is minutes from the anchors of it:
| Destination | Approx. drive |
|---|---|
| Circuit of the Americas (COTA) | About 13 minutes |
| Austin-Bergstrom International Airport | About 16 minutes |
| Tesla GigaTexas | About 18 minutes |
| Downtown Austin | About 30 minutes |
That's why Revelry draws the buyers it does: Tesla and airport-corridor workers who want a short commute to a major employer, and buyers betting on early-phase appreciation as this side of town fills in.
Revelry is planned around six builders, though because it's early, agreements are still being finalized, so the exact line-up and which are selling in a given phase can shift. The planned roster:
| Builder |
|---|
| Perry Homes |
| David Weekley Homes |
| DRB Homes |
| Toll Brothers |
| Coventry Homes |
| Highland Homes |
As always with new construction: the sales rep in the model office works for the builder, not for you. Incentives are common in early phases, but they are negotiated, and I represent you at no cost from the first visit so you actually capture them.
Revelry homes are anticipated to run from the mid $300s into the mid $600s depending on builder and finishes, with current sections opening from the mid $300s. Homes are 3 to 5 bedrooms, one and two stories, with open-concept, energy-efficient, and smart-home features. Because it's an early-phase community, both pricing and available builders move, so I pull the current numbers and the real incentive on any specific home before you decide.
Revelry is built to feel like a place, not just a pod of houses. The plan includes an amenity center, greenspaces and trails, lifestyle retail, and a walkable, mixed-use core with bold public art and a design inspired by East Austin. Over 100 acres are set aside for multifamily and build-to-rent, and a civic space and a future Del Valle ISD school site are planned inside the community. Some of this is here now and some is coming as the phases build out, which is the nature of getting in early: you buy the trajectory as much as the finished product.
Revelry is Del Valle ISD, and the plan includes a future school site inside the community itself. Until that opens, students are zoned to existing Del Valle ISD campuses, and because the district is growing and rezoning fast, I confirm the current elementary, middle, and high school for any specific address. You can see how the district fits together in my Del Valle ISD schools guide.
One thing to check before you fall for a floor plan: Revelry is a large, new development in Travis County, and communities like this often sit in a MUD (Municipal Utility District) that adds to your tax rate on top of the Del Valle ISD, city, and county taxes. The specific assessment depends on the section, so confirm it for the exact home, it can move your real monthly payment by a meaningful amount versus the list price alone. My MUD and PID guide shows exactly how to check any address so there are no surprises.
From what I see, Revelry suits a few buyers especially well: first-time buyers who want a new home at an attainable entry price, Tesla and airport-corridor workers who want a short commute to a major employer, investors and build-to-rent buyers drawn to a growth corridor, and move-up buyers betting on early-phase appreciation in southeast Austin. If you're chasing an established, built-out feel today, an early-phase community is the wrong fit, and I'll tell you that. If you like buying the trajectory, this is one of the more interesting bets on this side of town.
Buying early in a community like Revelry is a real opportunity and a real trade-off. The upside is entry pricing, incentives, and getting in before the growth. The trade-off is that the amenities, the school, the retail, and even the final builder line-up are partly promises on a map, and timelines slip. My job is to separate what's built and committed from what's still a rendering, put the MUD and the real monthly payment in your math, and make sure the bet fits your timeline. That's the conversation to have before you sign, not after.
I'll give you the current builders actively selling, real pricing and incentives, the MUD and school zone for any home, and a straight read on the early-phase trade-offs, and I represent you at no cost from your first visit.
