7013 Mitra Dr, Austin, TX 78739

Picture yourself living in this Meridian single-family home with 4 bedrooms 3.5 bathrooms, a dedicated office, 2 dining areas and a game room; where your weekends start with a quiet morning on the miles of trails and end with a swim in your own backyard. Residents love Meridian for its friendly ambiance and the convenience of having the community pool, playground, and the elementary school just a short walk away. This home sits on a generous .33-acre lot, providing a sense of space and quiet that makes this particular pocket of Meridian so highly sought after. Meridian also offers an easy connection to Downtown Austin and the Austin Airport, along with being just minutes from the 45 Toll and MoPac, putting the local favorites at Escarpment Village and the fairways of Greyrock Golf within easy reach. The home itself is bathed in natural light, with windows wrapping around the entire structure to bring the outdoors in. In the living room, a fireplace serves as a centerpiece, while a fireplace and wall of glass that looks out over the pool. The kitchen features a large center island, gas cooktop, and built-in oven, with plenty of storage for every kitchen gadget. A dedicated breakfast area includes a built-in desk and space for a coffee bar. Tucked away on the main floor, the primary suite offers plenty of room for a sitting area or yoga space, with views of the trees outside. The ensuite bathroom feels like a personal spa with its dual vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Three guest bedrooms are located upstairs; two share a conjoined bathroom with separate vanities, while the fourth bedroom has its own private ensuite. A large game room, with unobstructed views, works perfectly for movie nights or a pool table. The resort-style backyard is incredible, with a screened-in back patio for year-round enjoyment, a sparkling pool, an in-ground spa, and an expansive pool deck. Even with the pool, the lot provides plenty of grassy space for gardening or lawn games.

The backyard at 7013 Mitra Dr in Circle C Ranch is where this home earns its keep. A resort-style resort setup dominates the 0.334-acre lot: a sparkling pool, in-ground spa, and screened patio that turns outdoor entertaining into a year-round activity rather than a seasonal event. The pool deck is expansive enough for loungers, games, and the kind of gathering space where neighbors naturally congregate on weekend afternoons.

Beyond the water features, the yard has real breathing room. Large trees over 40 feet tall provide shade, and medium trees create pockets of privacy. Automatic sprinklers front, rear, and side keep the landscaping lush without weekend maintenance stress. Even with the pool footprint, genuine grassy space remains for cornhole, badminton, or just letting kids run. The screened patio acts as the transition zone between indoor and outdoor living, useful for those April thunderstorms that roll through Austin or the occasional mosquito evening.

Inside, the bones support this outdoor lifestyle. The kitchen anchors the home with a gas cooktop, built-in oven, and large center island. Windows wrap the structure to keep sightlines connected to the backyard action. A game room upstairs gives kids a second gathering spot. The main floor primary suite, along with three guest bedrooms (two upstairs share a bathroom, one has its own ensuite), means extended family can actually stay over without awkward sleeping arrangements.

Built in 2013, the 3,667-square-foot home sits on masonry construction with stone exterior. The open floorplan flows through multiple living and dining areas. Quartz counters, recessed lighting, crown molding, and a soaking tub in the primary ensuite signal attention to interior finishes. A study on the main floor works for remote work on those days you'd rather not fight traffic toward downtown Austin or corporate corridors like the Domain area north of here.

Circle C Ranch itself sits minutes from the 45 Toll and MoPac, making commutes predictable. The subdivision has walking trails, a community pool, and playground, though this home's private pool makes the community amenity less critical. Baldwin Elementary, Gorzycki Middle, and Bowie High serve the Austin ISD schools. Greyrock Golf is nearby for weekend rounds, and Escarpment Village shopping is close enough for weeknight dinner runs.

At $995,000 ($271 per square foot), this is a functional entertainer's home in a mature subdivision where the backyard is the main event.

Circle C Ranch has 3.2 miles of dedicated cycling trail that no car has ever been allowed to touch. The Veloway is a paved loop exclusively for cyclists and inline skaters, winding through Hill Country terrain on the southern edge of the neighborhood. It is the kind of amenity that sounds like a city planning fantasy but has been operating since 1992, and it tells you something important about what this community prioritizes: outdoor access, family infrastructure, and the kind of thoughtful planning that most master-planned neighborhoods only promise.

Circle C sits in southwest Austin in the 78739 zip code, roughly bounded by MoPac Expressway to the east, Slaughter Lane to the north, Escarpment Boulevard to the west, and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center to the south. Downtown Austin is about a 20-minute drive via MoPac. The Southwest Parkway provides a secondary route that connects to Highway 71 and the Hill Country corridor. The Escarpment Village shopping center at the neighborhood's edge handles most daily errands, and a second commercial cluster at William Cannon and MoPac adds more options. Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, and the Hill Country Galleria are all accessible within 15 to 20 minutes heading west.

The housing stock spans about four decades of development. The original phase of Circle C launched in 1986, and the Traditional Texas Suburban homes from that era through 2000 make up roughly 40 percent of the inventory. These are typically 2,000 to 3,500 square feet on quarter-acre to half-acre lots, with brick or stone exteriors and mature landscaping. Hill Country Contemporary homes built between 2000 and 2015 account for another 25 percent, bringing limestone accents, metal roofing, and more open floor plans. Newer production-builder sections from 2010 through 2022 add modern designs at a 20 percent share. Townhomes, patio homes, and a small number of custom estates round out the mix. Pricing runs from the mid $400s for older homes or townhomes to around $1.2 million for larger updated homes on premium lots. Circle C delivers strong value compared to Westlake or Barton Creek for families who want space and schools without the seven-figure entry point.

The neighborhood is served by Austin ISD, and the school situation is one of the primary reasons people move here. Clayton Elementary, Kiker Elementary, and Mills Elementary all serve different sections of the community, and each maintains strong parent involvement and academic performance. Small Middle School and Bowie High School handle the upper grades. Bowie is one of the larger high schools in Austin ISD but maintains a strong academic reputation, particularly in STEM programs and athletics. The combination of neighborhood-feel elementary schools and a well-resourced high school makes Circle C one of the most consistently popular family destinations in south Austin.

The daily routine in Circle C revolves around the outdoors. Morning runners and cyclists hit the Veloway or the Slaughter Creek Trail before work. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, which sits at the southern tip of the neighborhood, provides 284 acres of native Texas landscape for walking, photography, and events. Grey Rock Golf Club offers a public course within the community. The Circle C Swim Center and community pool system stays busy from April through October. For dining, Keepers Coastal Kitchen and District Kitchen anchor the Escarpment Village corridor with sit-down options that have raised the local restaurant scene well beyond the chains that typically dominate master-planned neighborhoods. Oasthouse Kitchen and Jack Allen's Kitchen are both a short drive north. The Alamo Drafthouse on Slaughter Lane handles movie nights, and the Wildflower Center hosts seasonal festivals and concerts.

Circle C holds a distinct position in Austin's suburban market. It is less expensive than Westlake or Barton Creek but offers comparable school quality within Austin ISD rather than requiring the premium of Eanes or Lake Travis districts. Compared to Shady Hollow and Bauerle Ranch to the east, Circle C has better trail infrastructure and more neighborhood amenities. Compared to Belterra further southwest, it provides a significantly shorter commute and more established commercial options. The neighborhood competes most directly with Sendera and Legend Oaks on the south side, though Circle C's Veloway, Wildflower Center proximity, and deeper inventory give it an edge in the family market.

Circle C is the right choice for families who want genuine outdoor amenities and good Austin ISD schools without paying West Austin luxury prices. It works for dual-income households in southwest Austin's tech corridor, families who want neighborhood stability, and active adults who will use the trails and pool system. If your priority list starts with schools, outdoor access, and community, Circle C delivers on all three at a price point that still makes financial sense.
