About the Neighborhood

The commuter’s choice in Bastrop

Bastrop Crossing sits along the SH 71 corridor with proximity to the SH 130 toll road, which makes it the most route-efficient neighborhood in the Bastrop market for buyers commuting west toward Austin, the Tesla Gigafactory, or the airport. The housing is newer, production-built, and priced at the entry-to-mid range for the area. It is a practical neighborhood that solves a practical problem: how to live in Bastrop and still get to work without a punishing drive.

The honest tradeoff is that Bastrop Crossing does not deliver the things that draw most people to Bastrop in the first place. There are no Lost Pines, no river views, no walkable downtown, and no golf course. The neighborhood’s value proposition is route access and newer construction at a competitive price point. For commuters who will spend most of their waking hours outside the neighborhood, that can be exactly the right trade. For buyers who moved to Bastrop for the setting, it may feel like they never quite arrived.
