Quick Facts
About Larkspur
Larkspur is a boutique master-planned community in central Leander developed primarily by David Weekley Homes. Unlike the sprawling mega-developments that define much of Leander's growth, Larkspur was intentionally designed at a more intimate scale — curated streetscapes, alley-loaded garages, front porches, and tree-lined streets create a neighborhood feel that larger communities struggle to replicate. The community sits just east of 183A with direct access to Leander's growing retail and restaurant corridor along Crystal Falls Parkway. David Weekley's reputation for energy efficiency, design flexibility, and customer service has attracted discerning buyers who want a well-built home without sacrificing neighborhood character. HOA amenities include a community pool, playgrounds, and maintained green spaces. Larkspur is particularly popular among second-time buyers upgrading from older Leander or Cedar Park homes.
