Belterra is a large master-planned community in Dripping Springs, TX, situated along US 290 about 25 miles west of downtown Austin. With roughly 3,000 homes at buildout, it is one of the Austin metro’s biggest planned developments, combining Hill Country topography, A-rated Dripping Springs ISD schools, and resort-level amenities in a setting that still feels removed from the city’s sprawl.<\/p>\n

About the Neighborhood<\/div>\n

Austin’s largest Hill Country master-plan<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Belterra sits in ZIP code 78737 on rolling Hill Country terrain just south of US 290 in Dripping Springs<\/a>, Hays County. The community includes multiple sections built across different phases, from the original Belterra neighborhoods started in the mid-2000s to the newer Heights at Belterra and the mixed-use Belterra Village center. Builders have included Taylor Morrison, Toll Brothers, Highland Homes, and others, producing a mix of resale homes and active new construction across single-family price points from the $400Ks into the $800Ks and above.<\/p>\n

The non-obvious thing about Belterra is the village component. Most Austin-area master-plans are residential pods connected by a parkway to the nearest commercial strip. Belterra Village is a walkable mixed-use center with an H-E-B, restaurants, a brewery, and retail built into the community itself. That means residents in the sections closest to the village can walk to groceries and dinner without getting on 290. For a community 25 miles from downtown, that daily convenience gap between Belterra and competing developments in the corridor is significant and is reflected in resale pricing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
