About Garfield

Located just southeast of Austin along Highway 71, Garfield offers a quiet, spread-out rural feel with quick access to the city and the airport. The community got its start in the 1880s as a small farming crossroads named after President James A. Garfield, and residents have long held onto that independent streak as the surrounding area grows. For newcomers, it provides a relaxed lifestyle with larger lots and room to breathe, all while keeping downtown Austin an easy twenty-minute drive away.
