Located in highly sought after Circle C North and within walking distance to Gorzycki Middle School, this beautifully maintained and pre-inspected home has been lovingly cared for by the same family since it was built and offers the ideal combination of updates, location, comfort, and lifestyle. Inside, natural light fills the spacious living room with fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming space ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The newly updated kitchen features quartz countertops, center island, abundant counter space, and pantry. A bright breakfast area surrounded by windows overlooks the backyard, while multiple dining and living areas provide flexibility for gatherings, working from home, or additional living space. The bonus room at the front of the home works beautifully as a home office, craft room, guest space, or fourth bedroom. The spacious primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with soaking tub, walk in shower, dual vanities, and two closets. Secondary bedrooms are well sized and conveniently located near the second full bath. The backyard deck is perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee or evening beverage. Located minutes from retail, dining, and grocery stores along Escarpment Boulevard, daily errands are simple while still enjoying the quiet neighborhood setting buyers love. Circle C Ranch is one of South Austin’s most desirable communities, known for tree lined streets, top rated schools including Kiker Elementary, Gorzycki Middle School, and Bowie High School, along with parks, pools, and miles of hike and bike trails. Residents also enjoy easy access to the Veloway, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, Alamo Drafthouse, and a wide variety of South Austin dining and shopping, all with a convenient commute to downtown Austin.

Circle C Ranch has something almost no other Austin neighborhood can claim - a dedicated bicycle-and-inline-skating-only trail called the Veloway, a 3.1-mile paved loop where no cars, dogs, or pedestrians are allowed. On any weekend morning you will find families with kids on training wheels circling alongside serious road cyclists doing intervals.

Circle C sits in southwest Austin, bounded by Slaughter Lane to the north, MoPac to the east, Highway 45 to the south, and Escarpment Boulevard to the west. MoPac gives you a direct shot downtown in about 20 minutes outside of rush hour, though the Slaughter Lane on-ramp backs up during peak times. The commercial strip along Slaughter and Brodie handles grocery runs with H-E-B, Target, and local restaurants within five minutes. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center anchors the southern edge and serves as both botanical garden and de facto community park.

Traditional Texas suburban homes make up about 40% of inventory - two-story, four-bedroom plans with brick and stone, built between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s by David Weekley, Centex, and Standard Pacific. Hill Country Contemporary designs account for 25%, concentrated in newer sections along the greenbelt. Production builder homes fill 20%, with the rest in townhomes and patio homes. Lot sizes run between 7,000 and 12,000 square feet in production sections, with custom lots reaching a quarter acre along creek corridors. Pricing ranges from the mid-$400s for older patio homes up to $1.2 million for updated homes on premium lots.

Circle C is served by Austin ISD. Kiker Elementary and Clayton Elementary draw strong ratings. Small Middle School handles the transition years, and Bowie High School serves the high schoolers. Bowie has a strong reputation for music programs, competitive athletics, and college prep academics. School campuses are close enough that many families walk or bike to elementary school, adding to the family-oriented character.

The rhythm of daily life revolves around outdoor activity and school calendars. Mornings start on the Veloway or Slaughter Creek Trail. The Wildflower Center hosts seasonal events. By afternoon, community pools fill up and sports fields along Escarpment see baseball and soccer practice. For food, Keepers Coastal Kitchen on Brodie has become the upscale casual spot for well-executed seafood. District Kitchen handles the gastropub niche. Oasthouse is a reliable weeknight option. Jack Allen's Kitchen down Slaughter does its farm-to-table thing. And Loro - the Asian smokehouse from the Uchi and Franklin BBQ teams - sits just up MoPac.

Circle C is less expensive than Barton Creek to the north with its $1.5 million entry point. It has better community infrastructure than Shady Hollow and Bauerle Ranch, which lack Circle C's trail system and pools. And it offers stronger Austin ISD schools than most Hays CISD options further south. The main tradeoff is density - lots are smaller than Dripping Springs or Bee Cave.

Circle C works for families who want strong Austin ISD schools and community amenities in southwest Austin without stretching past a million dollars. It fits active households that will use the Veloway, trails, and pools. If you want acreage and privacy, keep driving west. But if you want to bike the Veloway at sunrise, drop the kids at a good school by 8, and be at the pool by 4 PM, Circle C delivers that routine consistently.
