Panoramic Downtown Austin and Balcones Canyonlands Preserve views are the headline at 10105 Cressida Bend None in River Place. At 10105 Cressida Bend None, those views come with 4,323 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 1 half bath, and a 0.5-acre homesite priced at $2.45 million, or $567 per square foot.

This is a 2025 single-family residence in Austin, Texas 78730, in Travis County, and that combination matters because new construction of this size is limited in River Place. The floor plan is built for how high-end buyers actually live. The primary suite and a guest suite are on the main level. There is also a dedicated study, formal dining room, open family room, gameroom, and media room. That gives the house flexibility for guests, work-from-home routines, and long-term living without forcing every bedroom upstairs.

The setting is one of the strongest parts of the property. River Place sits in Northwest Austin near RM 2222 and RM 620, so daily access is more practical than many hilltop addresses. River Place Country Club is close by. Lake Austin and the River Place Nature Trail are part of the everyday backdrop. Four Points shopping and dining is a short drive, and trips to The Domain, Apple’s Northwest Austin campus, and Downtown Austin are realistic for buyers who need to split time between home, school, and work. In normal conditions, Four Points is roughly 10 minutes away, The Domain is about 25 minutes, and Downtown Austin is often around 30 to 35 minutes depending on traffic.

Inside, the finish level tracks with the price point. The kitchen includes a JennAir Rise professional range, double oven, griddle, pot filler, Sub-Zero cabinet-faced refrigerator, waterfall island, and full-overlay soft-close cabinetry. Ceiling treatments in the main living spaces and primary suite add presence without making the house feel busy. The heated in-ground pool with a motorized cover gives the backyard real use value, not just visual appeal.

For school-conscious buyers, River Place is typically associated with Leander ISD, with River Place Elementary, Four Points Middle School, and Vandegrift High School being key campuses buyers commonly ask about, subject to current attendance boundaries. In this part of Austin, that school draw, paired with half-acre scale, new construction, and protected-view orientation, is what separates a good house from an address with staying power. This is the kind of River Place property that fits today’s lifestyle and should stay relevant as Austin’s luxury market keeps pushing toward quality, land, and location.

River Place is home to one of the most technical trail systems inside Austin city limits. The River Place Nature Trail drops nearly 800 feet through three distinct canyons - Canyon Trail, Panther Hollow, and Little Fern - before reaching Lake Austin. Most neighborhoods talk about outdoor access. River Place delivers terrain that makes experienced hikers pay attention, starting from a trailhead residents can reach on foot.

The neighborhood sits in northwest Austin, bounded by RR 2222 south, RR 620 east, and Balcones Canyonlands north and west. Lake Austin forms the western boundary. Downtown takes about twenty-five minutes via 2222 or 360, and the Arboretum tech corridor is fifteen minutes east. Steiner Ranch Steakhouse has been a reliable dinner spot for years. Butterwhisk Brunch House draws weekend crowds. Russell's Bakery handles morning coffee. Bellissima does Italian, Galaxy Cafe covers casual lunch.

Housing is predominantly Texas Traditional and Hill Country Stone, reflecting the natural landscape of limestone ledges and native oak groves. Mediterranean and Contemporary styles make up the rest. Homes range from 2,500 to 5,000 square feet. Flat lots are around a quarter acre, while ridgeline lots can exceed an acre. Prices start in the mid-$600s for older homes and run past $2 million for newer builds with views. The sweet spot is $800,000 to $1.4 million for a four- or five-bedroom with Hill Country views and privacy.

River Place is served by Leander ISD. River Place Elementary is the neighborhood school with a solid reputation. Students feed into Canyon Ridge Middle School and Vandegrift High School, both relatively new campuses. Vandegrift has earned recognition for music programs, competitive sports, and college prep. Leander ISD may not carry the name recognition of Eanes to the south, but the schools serving River Place are well-funded and consistently improving.

The Nature Trail is the headliner, but Bull Creek and St. Edwards Park are both nearby. Bull Creek has swimming holes that fill up on summer weekends. St. Edwards Park has canyon overlooks and seasonal waterfall access. The River Place Country Club provides golf, tennis, swimming, and social events. Weekend mornings start on a trail or at the club, and the rhythm tracks the school calendar. Summers bring families to creek beds, fall means Friday nights at Vandegrift.

River Place competes with Steiner Ranch, Canyon Creek, and northern Westlake. Steiner Ranch has similar outdoor access but feels denser. Canyon Creek lacks the canyon-and-ridge topography. Westlake offers Eanes ISD but at significantly higher prices. River Place hits a value position that is hard to match: Hill Country terrain, strong schools, twenty-five-minute commute, at prices well below Westlake or Rob Roy.

River Place makes sense for families who want Hill Country terrain and outdoor access without leaving Austin city limits. It is the right neighborhood for people who want a nature trail out the back door, a good school district, and enough space to breathe within a reasonable commute.
