Quick Facts
About Brushy Creek
Brushy Creek is one of Central Texas's most unusual communities — a master-planned development governed by its own Municipal Utility District (Brushy Creek MUD) that functions as a quasi-municipal government providing water, wastewater, parks, and recreation services directly to residents. The result is one of the most impressive park systems in all of Williamson County: over 3,000 acres of parks, trails, sports complexes, swimming pools, and recreation centers operated at a scale that no neighborhood HOA could match. Brushy Creek MUD manages facilities including multiple competition-grade pools, extensive sports fields, pavilions, and the crown jewel Brushy Creek Trail, a 30+ mile multi-use trail that connects through Cedar Park and Round Rock. Homes throughout Brushy Creek span multiple decades of development from the 1980s through 2010s, with price points ranging from starter homes to executive product depending on the specific section.
