Liberty Hill on the Rise: A Look at What's Coming Next

Liberty Hill is evolving–and it’s exciting to watch. Once a quiet Hill Country town with wide-open spaces and Friday night lights, Liberty Hill has quickly become one of the most dynamic communities in Central Texas. As growth continues, new developments, expanded infrastructure, and community-focused planning are shaping what’s next for residents, business owners, and future homebuyers alike.

As someone who lives and works right here in the Liberty Hill area, I love seeing our community grow in ways that bring more convenience, opportunity, and connection while still preserving the Hill Country charm that makes Liberty Hill so special.

Let’s take a peek at some of the upcoming projects and what they mean for our thriving town.

A Vision for Smart Growth

Liberty Hill isn’t growing by accident — it’s growing by design. The city’s long-term vision focuses on balanced development that supports families, businesses, and open spaces. That means creating neighborhoods that feel connected, encouraging mixed-use developments, and improving roads and public facilities to keep up with demand.

Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) and updated zoning tools are helping Liberty Hill guide new projects in thoughtful, intentional ways — allowing the city to welcome growth while protecting its small-town appeal.

Big Developments to Watch

Retail & Commercial Growth

Get ready, Liberty Hill–retail convenience is on the way! The city has approved a new 35-acre retail development that will feature a Target store as its anchor, along with several well-known retailers and restaurants. For years, residents have dreamed about not having to drive to Leander or Cedar Park for everyday shopping, and now that’s becoming a reality.

In addition to Target, there are new commercial projects on the horizon–think coffee shops, small offices, restaurants, and service businesses–all designed to give locals more options close to home.

Mixed-Use and Employment Opportunities

Developers are working with city leaders on a 140-acre mixed-use project at the intersection of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Highway 29. The proposal blends residential, retail, and office spaces, creating a walkable community hub right in Liberty Hill.

And it’s not just shopping and housing–Liberty Hill is attracting industrial and logistics developers too, which means new employment opportunities and a more diverse local economy.

Residential Expansion

Residential growth remains strong across Liberty Hill, with new home communities and apartment developments offering more variety than ever before. One of the largest upcoming projects, The Mansions at Liberty Hill, will include over 400 new units with resort-style amenities–perfect for those seeking modern living with easy access to everything in town.

Master-planned communities like Santa Rita Ranch continue to expand as well, offering neighborhood parks, pools, pickleball courts, and walking trails. Builders like Highland Homes, Pulte, and Ashton Woods are also adding new sections throughout the area, giving buyers a wide range of designs and price points.

Investing in Infrastructure

Growth brings new needs, and Liberty Hill is keeping pace with a variety of infrastructure projects that will make getting around–and living here–even better.

The Liberty Hill Bypass is under construction and will help redirect traffic around downtown, easing congestion on Highway 29.
Downtown Streetscape Improvements are coming soon, with upgrades to sidewalks, lighting, and landscaping along Main Street to create a more walkable, welcoming environment for local businesses and visitors.
The city is also expanding its library and public facilities, and new fire and emergency service stations are planned to keep up with the area’s population growth.

These projects are about more than convenience–they’re about creating a Liberty Hill that feels connected, vibrant, and ready for the future.

Growing with Purpose

As exciting as all this growth is, Liberty Hill’s leadership remains focused on what matters most: protecting the heart and heritage of the community. The goal is to grow thoughtfully–maintaining the small-town feel and sense of belonging that draw so many people here in the first place.

Of course, growth comes with challenges. Traffic, infrastructure strain, and the balance between development and open space are all part of the conversation. But through careful planning and community involvement, Liberty Hill is finding ways to welcome progress while honoring its roots.
