Cedar Park Town Center: The Future of Cedar Park
As Austin has grown over the past decade, expansion has spread north along major transportation routes. As a result, some of Texas’ more rural towns outside the city itself (and within about 30 minutes of downtown, the airport and Austin’s technology corridor), have experienced their own substantial growth.
Many homeowners looking for more affordable or newly constructed homes have focused on the city of Cedar Park, with its small-town feel. Recognized as “The Fastest Growing Suburb in America” by Forbes magazine, this little Texas town has blossomed and flourished as new retail and residential development attract even more retail and residential development. Cedar Park Town Center is an excellent example of city planning that has both promoted and managed growth.
