Liberty Hill is gearing up for another master-planned community. Johnson Development — the nationally recognized developer behind award-winning communities across Texas — has acquired 764 acres in Liberty Hill for a new residential project expected to bring 1,900+ homes to the area.

This major development underscores what residents already know: Liberty Hill is one of the fastest-growing markets in Central Texas and a top choice for families seeking space, schools, and a true Hill Country lifestyle.


Where Is the New Community Located?

The project is planned for 680 E. County Road 202, just minutes from:

  • Highway 29

  • The 183A Toll extension

  • The San Gabriel River basin

  • Existing Liberty Hill schools and neighborhoods

The property includes 1.5 miles of riverfront, giving the future community an authentic Hill Country setting while maintaining quick access to Austin employment centers.


What’s Included in the Development?

Johnson Development’s current plan includes:

  • 1,900+ single-family homes

  • Homesites ranging from 45 to 70 feet

  • 5 acres of commercial space (future shops, services, offices)

  • 15 acres reserved for a new school

  • 70 acres of parks, trails & open space

  • A community amenity center with recreational features

Home sales are projected to begin in Fall 2027, but infrastructure planning is already underway.


Why This Matters for Liberty Hill Real Estate

1. Increased Inventory & Housing Options

As Liberty Hill’s population grows, demand consistently outpaces supply. A 1,900-home master-planned community helps to:

  • Broaden buyer options

  • Introduce more new-construction homes

  • Stabilize price pressure long-term

This is especially important for families trying to get into Liberty Hill ISD, one of Texas’ top-rated school districts.

2. More Amenities & Local Services

With commercial acreage and a planned school site, this development will likely spark:

  • New retail and dining

  • Road improvements

  • Expanded public services

  • Enhanced parks and trail systems

All of this adds value to surrounding neighborhoods — including existing subdivisions nearby.

3. Strong Long-Term Investment Potential

Large master-planned communities historically drive:

  • Higher resale values

  • Stronger rental demand

  • Increased desirability

  • New job opportunities

For real estate investors, Liberty Hill continues to be a high-growth corridor with long-term upside.


What Buyers, Sellers & Investors Should Do Now

For Buyers

Get positioned early. Builders often release homesites in phases, and early buyers typically secure:

  • The best lots

  • Introductory pricing

  • Builder incentives

For Sellers

Highlight your home’s location relative to this major new community. Demand will only rise as infrastructure builds out.

For Investors

Land, rentals, and new construction opportunities will expand significantly. Now is the time to secure property before pricing climbs further.


Final Thoughts

This development is another indicator that Liberty Hill is entering a new era of growth. With top-rated schools, Hill Country charm, and increasing connectivity to Austin, it’s no surprise that developers and buyers alike are drawn to this booming area.
