Cedar Park New Construction by Price Point -- What Your Budget Gets You in 2026

Bottom line: Cedar Park has three active new construction communities in 2026 — one at $367K-$390K, one at $400K-$550K, and one at $950K-$1.4M+. There is a $400K gap in the middle with nothing. If your budget falls between $550K and $950K, Cedar Park’s new construction market cannot help you right now.

I specialize in new construction at eXp Realty and have worked with buyers across the entire north Austin market. Cedar Park comes up constantly because of its location, schools, and suburban infrastructure — but the inventory picture is tighter than most buyers expect when they start looking. Three communities, two of them near sellout, and a gap in the middle that forces many buyers north to Leander. Here is what the market actually looks like. For the city-level overview, see the Cedar Park new construction guide.

$367K-$390K — Townhomes at Whitestone Preserve

Builder: Pulte Homes Pricing: $367K-$390K Size: 1,685-1,977 sqft, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms Product type: Townhomes Schools: Leander ISD Status: Near sellout (~20-25 homes remaining)

Whitestone Preserve is the only sub-$400K new construction option in Cedar Park, and it is running out. With roughly 20-25 homes left, this community will close out within the next few months at current sales pace. After that, there is no comparable replacement planned at this price point in Cedar Park.

The product here is townhomes, not single-family detached. That distinction matters. You own the structure and an interest in the common areas, but you do not own a private yard. The homes are 1,685-1,977 sqft with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across two floors, with an attached garage. Pulte includes their smart home technology package — video doorbell, smart thermostat, smart lighting — as standard.

At $367K-$390K, these are genuinely competitive for the Cedar Park market. The Leander ISD assignment is a meaningful advantage over comparably priced product in lesser districts. For first-time buyers, downsizers, or buyers who travel frequently and want minimal exterior maintenance, the townhome format works well.

The caveat is the timeline. If you want into Whitestone Preserve, this is not a community where you can take six months to think about it. The remaining lots will go to the buyers who move first. Once it is gone, the next sub-$400K Cedar Park option does not exist yet.

$400K-$550K — Detached Homes at Cross Creek

Builder: Brohn Homes Pricing: ~$400K-$550K Size: 1,800-3,200 sqft, 3-5 bedrooms Schools: Leander ISD Architecture: Modern Hill Country Status: Near sellout

Cross Creek by Brohn Homes is the only place to buy a new detached single-family home in Cedar Park for under $600K. Nine floor plans, 3-5 bedrooms, 1,800-3,200 sqft, and a price range that starts just above $400K. Brohn Homes’ Modern Hill Country architecture — stone and board-and-batten exteriors, covered porches, open floor plans — suits the market and holds up well aesthetically in a city where resale competition is dense.

The energy-efficiency package is a genuine selling point, not marketing language. Brohn builds to Energy Star certification standards, which translates to lower monthly utility bills and a tighter building envelope than standard production construction. For a Texas home that runs air conditioning eight months a year, that matters.

Like Whitestone Preserve, Cross Creek is near sellout. Brohn Homes does not have a comparable replacement community announced in Cedar Park. If you want a new detached home in Cedar Park for under $550K in Leander ISD, this is it. At current inventory levels, buyers who wait are likely to find the selection has narrowed to whatever Brohn has not yet sold, rather than the full nine-plan lineup.

At the $500K-$550K range, Cross Creek competes with resale inventory in Cedar Park. The advantage of new construction at this price is the builder warranty, energy efficiency, and the ability to choose finishes at Brohn’s design center rather than accepting whatever a resale seller chose years ago.

The $550K-$950K Gap

This is the most important thing to understand about Cedar Park new construction in 2026: the market does not exist in this price range.

Cedar Park is largely built out. The city does not have large undeveloped tracts available for master-planned communities the way Leander or Georgetown does. The remaining developable land in Cedar Park either supports infill-scale communities like Cross Creek — smaller lots, tighter product — or it supports large luxury parcels like the one Toll Brothers is developing at Crestline. Mid-range land assemblage for a $600K-$800K community would require parcels that are not available at pricing that would make the math work.

The result is a $400K gap with no product. Builders are not ignoring it by accident. The economics of Cedar Park’s land market simply do not support new construction at the mid-range price tier right now.

Where to look if your budget is $550K-$950K: Leander is the answer. Leander shares Leander ISD with Cedar Park, is adjacent to the north, and has multiple active new construction communities in the $550K-$900K range. Wildspring (Toll Brothers) starts in the low $500s. Travisso (Toll Brothers and Taylor Morrison) covers $600K to $2M+. Hawkes Landing (Brightland Homes) reaches up to $825K. Highland Homes at Parkside Peninsula tops out around $680K. All Leander ISD. See the Leander new construction guide for the full breakdown.

The Cedar Park address does carry a modest cachet premium in certain buyers’ minds, but Leander ISD schools are the same schools. If the school district is what you are actually buying, Leander gets you there at a price point Cedar Park cannot match.

$950K-$1.4M+ — Toll Brothers at Crestline

Builder: Toll Brothers Pricing: $950K-$1.4M+ Size: 2,800-4,700 sqft, 3-6 bedrooms Schools: Round Rock ISD Collections: Cypress (60-foot lots), Juniper (70-foot lots) Amenities: Resort pool, Brushy Creek Trail access Status: Grand opening March 2026

Crestline at Brushy Creek is Toll Brothers’ newest Cedar Park community and one of the most significant new construction openings in the north Austin market in 2026. Two collections, resort amenities, Brushy Creek Trail access, and prices that reflect what a Toll Brothers product on a premier Cedar Park parcel actually costs.

The Collections

Cypress Collection sits on 60-foot lots and covers the lower end of the Crestline range. Homes run from approximately 2,800 sqft on the smaller plans up through larger configurations, with 3-car garages included. Base pricing starts at $950K; design center and lot premiums typically add $100K-$300K to the final contract price. Budget for that range when evaluating whether Crestline fits your number.

Juniper Collection sits on 70-foot lots and covers the upper tier. At 70 feet, you get more separation between homes, more flexibility on the footprint, and more premium lot positioning. Larger plans reach 4,700 sqft with up to 6 bedrooms. Pricing at the top end goes above $1.4M before design center selections.

Toll Brothers’ Design Center Process

Toll Brothers’ design center is a meaningful differentiator from production builders. Where Pulte and Brohn give you a limited palette of finishes at set price tiers, Toll Brothers’ design center works more like a semi-custom process. More SKU options, better baseline quality, and consultants who understand what adds resale value versus what costs money without returning it. The typical Crestline buyer spends $150K-$250K at the design center above base price. Go in with a budget for structural options first (outdoor living, bedroom additions, garage configurations) and decorative finishes second.

Round Rock ISD Caveat

This is the one detail that catches some Crestline buyers off guard: Crestline at Brushy Creek is in Round Rock ISD, not Leander ISD. Round Rock ISD is an excellent district — one of the top large districts in the state — but it is not Leander ISD. If your decision hinges on being in Leander ISD specifically, Crestline does not fit that requirement. Confirm the school assignments with the sales office for any specific homesite, as district boundaries can shift on large parcels.

Round Rock ISD is the right school assignment for many buyers. If you are buying at the $950K+ price point without a hard requirement for Leander ISD specifically, Round Rock’s schools and the community’s amenity package are strong. This is a context item, not a disqualifier.

Brushy Creek Trail and Location

The Brushy Creek Regional Trail is Cedar Park’s best public amenity — 50+ miles of hike-and-bike trail through the Hill Country, accessible directly from the community. For buyers who prioritize outdoor access, this is the only new construction community in Cedar Park with direct trail connectivity. The resort pool and community amenity package round out what is a genuinely well-positioned luxury community.

Given the March 2026 grand opening, Crestline is in its early phases. That means lot selection is good right now — premium lots with trail views, western exposure, or cul-de-sac positioning are still available. Those go first. If you are seriously considering Crestline, the early-phase window is the time to move.

Cedar Park vs. Leander at Each Price Point

At $400K-$550K: Cross Creek vs. Leander Options

Cross Creek (Cedar Park) and Leander’s entry-tier communities are direct competitors. At $430K-$550K in Leander, you have M/I Homes at Edgewood ($430K-$620K), Brightland at Hawkes Landing ($465K+), and Pulte at Horizon Lake ($465K-$580K). All Leander ISD.

Cross Creek wins on Cedar Park address. Leander communities win on selection — more floor plans, more builders competing for your business, and communities that are not yet at sellout status. If you are comparing them purely on school district, they are equivalent: both are Leander ISD. If you place value on the Cedar Park address specifically, Cross Creek is the only way to get new construction at this price there.

At $600K-$950K: Cedar Park Has Nothing, Leander Has Everything

There is no comparison to make here because Cedar Park does not have new construction in this range. Buyers with $600K-$950K budgets who want new construction in the north Austin market are Leander buyers, not Cedar Park buyers, regardless of preference.

Leander options in this range include Wildspring (Toll Brothers, from low $500s to low $700s), upper-tier Hawkes Landing (to $825K), upper-tier Edgewood (to $620K), and entry-tier Travisso (Toll Brothers, from $700K). All Leander ISD. The selection is deep; the Cedar Park equivalent does not exist.

At $1M+: Crestline vs. Travisso

At the luxury tier, the comparison is Crestline at Brushy Creek (Cedar Park, Round Rock ISD) versus Travisso (Leander, Leander ISD). Both are Toll Brothers communities. Both offer significant amenity packages.

Travisso wins on amenity scale: the 9,200 sqft Palazzo Clubhouse, resort pool, tennis, pickleball, bocce, yoga studio, and trail system is a more comprehensive package than Crestline’s current amenity offering. Travisso also offers more Toll Brothers collections (Siena, Naples, Florence, Verona) plus Taylor Morrison, giving you more builder and price-tier options within the same community.

Crestline wins on Brushy Creek Trail access — direct trail connectivity that Travisso does not have — and on Cedar Park’s established urban infrastructure (closer to major retail corridors, 183A, and the Domain corridor). Travisso’s Hill Country topography and views are distinctive, but Crestline’s location has its own merits.

The school district difference (Round Rock ISD vs. Leander ISD) is the deciding factor for families with a hard school preference. If Leander ISD is the requirement, Travisso is the luxury answer. If Round Rock ISD is acceptable — and it should be for most buyers, given its quality — Crestline’s location and trail access are competitive.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cedar Park New Construction by Price

What is the cheapest new construction in Cedar Park?

Whitestone Preserve by Pulte offers townhomes from $367K — the only sub-$400K new construction in Cedar Park. With approximately 20-25 homes remaining, it is near sellout. Once gone, no comparable product is planned at this price point.

Can I buy a new single-family home in Cedar Park under $600K?

Yes, but barely. Cross Creek by Brohn Homes offers detached homes from around $400K in Leander ISD with 9 floor plans. It is the only detached new construction in Cedar Park under $600K and is near sellout.

What does luxury new construction cost in Cedar Park?

Crestline at Brushy Creek by Toll Brothers starts at $950K and goes above $1.4M. Two collections (Cypress and Juniper) with 3-car garages, 60/70-foot lots, and resort pool. Design center and lot premiums add $100K-$300K to base price.

Why is there no new construction in Cedar Park between $550K and $950K?

Cedar Park is largely built out. The remaining developable land supports either infill communities on smaller lots (Cross Creek) or luxury product on one of the last large parcels (Crestline). Buyers in the $550K-$950K range should look at neighboring Leander, which shares Leander ISD and has multiple options at this price tier.

---

Three communities, a $400K dead zone in the middle, and two of the three communities running out of inventory. Cedar Park’s new construction market in 2026 rewards buyers who act quickly and penalizes those who wait to see what develops.

If you are at $400K-$550K and want a Cedar Park address, Cross Creek is the decision — and it will not stay available indefinitely. If you are in the $550K-$950K range, the honest answer is that Cedar Park cannot help you right now, and Leander is where you should be looking. If you are at $950K+, Crestline at Brushy Creek is one of the better luxury openings in the north Austin market this year.
