Quick Facts
About Walsh Ranch / Quarry
Walsh Ranch and the adjacent Quarry section represent Cedar Park's newest large-scale residential development, situated on land that once served limestone quarrying operations in western Cedar Park. The quarry heritage gives the community its distinctive visual character — retained limestone terracing, boulder landscaping, and a nod to the industrial past in the community's branding. Development began in the early 2020s and is actively continuing, meaning buyers have access to new construction across multiple price tiers from production builders. The community's western Cedar Park location provides excellent access to Brushy Creek Trail, Lake Travis recreation, and the 183A corridor. Amenities are being built out in phases, with a community pool and parks already open and additional facilities planned. Walsh Ranch / Quarry is Cedar Park's answer to the master-planned community model that has driven Leander's growth.
