Buda, Texas Homes for Sale

Buda is an enticing small city of about 5,000 residents that is less than 20 miles from downtown Austin. Budans love their community’s small-town feel and at the same time appreciate quick access to big-city amenities. More than just a bedroom community, though, Buda is proud of its increasing significance as a destination in and of itself. The town’s nationally recognized historic downtown draws residents and visitors to its intriguing architecture, as well as to the many boutiques and restaurants that line the streets. Revelers from all over Central Texas turn out for the super-fun wiener dog races that are held in April.

Outdoor activities, too, are a big draw in Buda. In fact, the Texas legislature has declared Buda the “Outdoor Capital of Texas” because of its large number of parks and greenspaces. Budans enjoy hike and bike trails, playgrounds, sports courts and fields and fishing in area waterways.

Tons of development along I-35, which bisects the area, means residents have plenty of shopping options, including Cabela’s, the huge outdoor-life retailer.

Home styles available in Buda include historic, mid-century, ranch and modern, and students attend schools in the Hays Consolidated Independent School District.

1238 Little Bear RD Buda, Texas

3 Beds 3 Baths 3,212 SqFt 1.272 Acres

Aquaplex is a private residential community just outside of Austin, Texas. We are dedicated to recreational and competitive waterskiing. Aquaplex was designed to accommodate competition water skiing at the “World Record” level. It was built in 1985 on a 60-acre site with dual lakes of approximately 36 acres. The Lake level is maintained by run-off from a 1600 acre watershed. A lake length of 2500 feet provides generous set-ups for each of the 2 record capability slalom courses and jump course. Lake widths range from 250 to 330 feet while lake depth is in the 8 to 10 foot range. Shorelines are sloped at a 10:1 ratio to eliminate rollback of boat wakes into the courses. Every skier knows that water is a little different everywhere. Some ski very fast, others seem overly slow. The physical properties of the water itself can make a big difference in the quality of skiing performances as the actual design of the shorelines and set-ups. Aquaplex enjoys a reputation for “easy” water.The lakes are privately owned and managed by the Homeowners Association and are only usable by owners of lake lots and their guests. There are a total of 23 lots/homes. $875,000 Active
