Canyon Creek is a far Northwest Austin neighborhood I show to buyers who want more house for the money than they’ll find closer in, plus easy access to green space. It sits in the 78726 zip code, bordered by RM 2222 to the south, Anderson Mill Road to the north, RR 620 to the west, and the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve to the east. Search the current Canyon Creek homes for sale below, and reach out if you want my take on a specific street.

Living in Canyon Creek
Backing up to the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve gives Canyon Creek residents direct access to hiking and nature trails most Austin neighborhoods don’t have. You’ll find a mix of single-family homes and townhouses here, and the location off RR 620 and RM 2222 keeps you close to shopping along 620 without a long commute into Austin.
Schools
Most of Canyon Creek is zoned to Round Rock ISD, with kids attending Canyon Creek Elementary — a National Blue Ribbon school built for the neighborhood in the mid-1990s — followed by Grisham Middle School and Westwood High School. Some parts of the neighborhood zone to Leander ISD instead, so it’s worth confirming the exact school assignment for any specific address.
Housing options in Canyon Creek
You’ll find a mix of spacious single-family homes and townhouses here, generally built from the 1990s on, with a blend of traditional and more contemporary architectural styles. It’s a good fit if you want a quieter, more suburban feel than closer-in Austin neighborhoods but still want easy access to shopping along RM 620 and a manageable drive back into the city.
If a specific Canyon Creek listing catches your eye, I can pull the disclosures, recent comparable sales on the same street, and anything else you need to know before deciding whether it’s worth a showing — just let me know which one.
