Just northeast of the capital in Travis County, Manor is one of the most underrated neighborhoods in the Austin area. Starting with mostly farmland, the community has grown exponentially over the years. With its reasonably priced properties, Manor is quickly becoming a popular destination for young entrepreneurs and families looking to establish roots.

Manor Developments

As the community rapidly grows, it is no surprise that developers are turning their attention to the city with hopes of making their own contribution. At the end of July, the Manor City Council agreed to rezone nearly 63 acres of land just east of the city. This rezoning will clear the way for the development of a brand-new neighborhood along with some commercial space. 

355-Townhome Neighborhood 

With housing demand significantly increasing over the years as the population of Manor skyrockets, this new neighborhood will be a welcome addition to the area. Mill Creek Residential, the developer of this upcoming community, has announced plans for 335 townhomes on at least 52 acres of the land. The homes are mainly three to four bedrooms, with backyards and garages for future homeowners. They range in size from 1,100 to 1,700 square feet.

Commercial Space

Nine remaining acres will be used for commercial development, such as general retail, restaurants, financial services, and art studios. Certain establishments, including standalone nightclubs, pawn shops, gas stations, junkyards, etc., will be prohibited from developing in this space to keep with the intended use of the community.

An upcoming development like this is a positive sign for Manor and its neighboring communities. If you have questions as this development progresses, feel free to contact me here or email me at tmcneil@kw.com. I love to report on all the exciting things coming to the Austin area!
