Twenty minutes south of downtown Austin is the Plum Creek community in Kyle. Construction in this subdivision started back in 1997 with homes built by D.R. Horton and Meritage Homes. Right now there are about 1500 homes, with plans to be about 8000 strong by the time the development is complete. The new phase of this community is being developed by KB Homes, with starting prices between $130K and $160K and homes ranging from 974 sq to over 2000 sq ft. There are also custom home sections that have large lots and many of them back up to the lake.

This community has two Olympic size pools, one close to the Negley Elementary School and the second impressive pool is in the community center, that offers residents a kitchen available for free, to those who want to party by the poolside!
