Red Rock, TX

Tucked about twelve miles southwest of Bastrop, Red Rock is a quiet, rural community surrounded by rolling pastures and thick post oaks. It got its name back in the 1850s from the distinctive red rock chimney on an early settler's homestead, and life here has kept that relaxed country rhythm ever since. Today, it appeals to newcomers looking for open space, starry night skies, and a true sense of privacy without feeling completely cut off.

Living in Red Rock gives you the perks of country life with easy access to nearby towns. Families have Red Rock Elementary right down the road on FM 20, with older students attending schools across the Bastrop Independent School District. Quiet country roads connect you quickly to Bastrop for grocery runs and dining, while Lockhart's barbecue and Austin's job hubs are an easy drive away. It is a great spot if you want room to spread out and enjoy Texas country living at your own pace.
