Tucked just a few minutes north of Highway 29 and west of Ronald Reagan Boulevard, the Lariat neighborhood in Liberty Hill offers a thoughtfully planned community experience that blends Hill Country beauty with modern living. As someone who has helped families buy and sell throughout Liberty Hill and the surrounding areas, I’m excited to share why Lariat is becoming one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the region.
A New Chapter for Liberty Hill
Lariat began development around 2021 and has quickly gained attention for its master-planned layout, wide range of housing options, and extensive community amenities. Built across nearly 700 acres of scenic Hill Country terrain, this neighborhood offers residents a sense of space and freedom without sacrificing access to the conveniences of suburban life.
The initial phase of development includes over 1,000 homesites, with future phases expanding to accommodate various lot sizes and styles. The builders in Lariat are a strong lineup of trusted names in Texas home construction: Ashton Woods, Chesmar Homes, Landsea Homes, Perry Homes, and Tri Pointe Homes. Each brings its own design philosophy, which means buyers can find a home that reflects their unique lifestyle and preferences while still fitting within the neighborhood’s cohesive aesthetic.
Home Styles and Options
Lariat offers something for everyone—from first-time homebuyers to growing families to downsizing couples. Home types vary by lot size and builder, but across the board, you’ll find modern floorplans with thoughtful design elements and energy-efficient features.
On 40- to 60-foot lots, you’ll typically find one- and two-story homes ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 square feet. These homes often include open-concept layouts, large kitchens with islands, covered patios, flex spaces, and game rooms. Many offer three to five bedrooms, with optional guest suites or home offices.
Future phases of the community will introduce 60- to 80-foot lots, providing even more space and privacy. These larger homesites will feature expansive layouts, three-car garages, and high-end finishes—perfect for buyers looking for luxury without leaving the Liberty Hill school district.
Lariat will also include garden homes, ideal for those who prefer low-maintenance living. These smaller-footprint homes are especially attractive to retirees or those who travel often and want a lock-and-leave lifestyle.
Community Amenities Designed for Connection
Lariat is more than just a collection of homes—it’s a neighborhood built to foster community. At the heart of the development is a collection of top-tier amenities that promote outdoor activity, social interaction, and relaxation.
The Watering Hole is Lariat’s resort-style pool complex, complete with a splash pad for younger residents and shaded lounging areas for everyone. Adjacent to the pool is The Junction, an open-air event pavilion and gathering lawn where residents can attend neighborhood events, farmers markets, and seasonal celebrations.
The neighborhood also features a private catch-and-release pond, scenic creeks, and over seven miles of trails for walking, running, or biking. Along these trails, you’ll find pocket parks with playgrounds, picnic areas, fitness stations, and even dedicated frisbee and pickleball spaces. There’s also a dog park for your four-legged family members.
These amenities are thoughtfully distributed throughout the neighborhood to ensure residents in every section can access them easily. The Homeowners Association helps maintain the community spaces and ensures a high standard of upkeep across the board.
Liberty Hill Living: What’s Nearby?
Living in Lariat means you’re never far from everything you need. Just a couple of miles away is the heart of Liberty Hill, where you’ll find charming local restaurants, boutique shops, art installations, and a strong sense of small-town pride. Liberty Hill’s Sculpture Park, local events like the Whimsy & Wonder art festival, and community rodeos offer plenty to explore and enjoy.
For everyday shopping and errands, H-E-B, Walmart, and big-box stores in nearby Leander and Georgetown are just a short drive away. And for those commuting into Austin or Round Rock, Lariat’s proximity to major thoroughfares like 183 and Highway 29 makes travel manageable while still offering a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate easy access to nearby parks, the San Gabriel River, and destinations like Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. Whether it’s hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, or fruit picking at Sweet Eats Fruit Farm, there’s always something to do nearby.
Zoned for Liberty Hill ISD
One of Lariat’s biggest draws is its location within the highly rated Liberty Hill Independent School District. Known for its academic excellence, strong extracurricular programs, and community involvement, LHISD has received an “A” rating from the Texas Education Agency.
Residents in Lariat are currently zoned to:
- Louine Noble Elementary School (PK–5) – A newer campus offering strong early education programs and a close-knit school community.
- Liberty Hill Middle School (6–8) – Focused on both academic achievement and personal development, with a variety of clubs, sports, and fine arts opportunities.
- Liberty Hill High School (9–12) – A UIL 5A school with a reputation for strong academics, championship-level athletics, and programs in everything from ag science to robotics.
Even more exciting is the future construction of an on-site elementary school (Liberty Hill ISD Elementary #8), slated to open in the next few years. This will make the morning commute even easier for families and further strengthen the sense of neighborhood and community within Lariat.
