Kyle sits about 20 miles south of downtown Austin along I-35, and it’s one of the areas I show buyers most often when they want new construction without leaving the I-35 corridor. It’s grown fast, but it still has that small-town feel in spots, especially around the historic downtown square. If you’re searching single family homes for sale in Kyle, TX, you’ll find everything from starter homes in newer subdivisions to larger lots in established neighborhoods like Waterleaf.
I’m Robbie English, REALTOR and Broker at Uncommon Realty here in the Austin area.
Living in Kyle, TX
Kyle is in Hays County and zoned to Hays CISD, a district that’s rated A by the Texas Education Agency. The city grew up around Plum Creek, a master-planned community that won Master-Planned Community of the Year back in 2006 and is still one of the anchors of the local housing market. Because Kyle sits directly on I-35 between Austin and San Marcos, it works well for buyers who commute either direction, and it’s close enough to San Marcos that a lot of my clients cross-shop both cities.
Single family homes here run the range — brick one-stories from the early 2000s in the older parts of town, larger two-stories in the newer master-planned sections, and everything in between. Lot sizes tend to be more generous than what you’ll find closer to Austin, which is a big part of the draw for buyers who want more house and more yard for the money.
Getting Ready to Buy in Kyle
Kyle’s inventory moves, especially in the newer sections, so it helps to have financing lined up before you start touring. I work with buyers on getting pre-approved before we go look at homes, and I always start new clients with a buyer consultation so I understand what you actually need before we’re standing in someone’s kitchen. If you want to see what else is on the market beyond Kyle, you can also search current homes for sale across the Austin area.
Reach out anytime if you want my read on a specific street or subdivision in Kyle — I’m happy to walk through what I know.
