Mustang Ridge, TX

Mustang Ridge sits about fifteen miles south of downtown Austin along Highway 183, offering a quiet, rural slice of Texas right on the edge of the expanding metro area. Named for the rolling ridge of hills running through town, the community has deep ranching and farming roots. With around a thousand residents, it provides plenty of open space and a slower pace of life for newcomers looking to spread out while staying close to the city.

Convenience is a big draw here, thanks to easy connections along Highway 183 and State Highway 130. Commutes to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, major regional employers, and neighboring towns like Buda and Lockhart are quick and direct. Because Mustang Ridge spans parts of Travis, Caldwell, and Bastrop counties, your school district and local utilities will depend on where your property sits, with students zoned to either Del Valle or Lockhart ISD. For anyone searching for acreage, room for workshops, and a relaxed country atmosphere near Austin, it is an easy place to settle into.
