If you’ve spent any time exploring the rolling hills of Liberty Hill or the western edges of Georgetown, you’ve probably come across MorningStar — a thoughtfully designed master-planned community that perfectly blends the beauty of the Texas Hill Country with resort-style living. With its natural open spaces, family-friendly amenities, and access to highly regarded Liberty Hill ISD schools, MorningStar has quickly become one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the area.
Location & Overview
MorningStar is nestled north of Highway 29 along Kauffman Loop, just east of Ronald Reagan Boulevard. Its location makes it incredibly convenient for commuters while offering a peaceful retreat from the bustle of Austin. You’re minutes from Liberty Hill’s charming downtown, the shops and dining in Georgetown, and larger retail destinations in Leander and Cedar Park.
The community spans more than 800 acres of scenic Texas Hill Country and features a mix of established homes and new construction. Designed to encourage connection — both with neighbors and nature — MorningStar offers greenbelts, wide sidewalks, and outdoor gathering spaces throughout the neighborhood.
When the Homes Were Built
Development in MorningStar began in the late 2010s, during a major growth period for Williamson County. With continued expansion through the 2020s, new homes are still being built today. The community’s growth has been carefully phased to ensure that infrastructure, amenities, and neighborhood design evolve together. As a result, homeowners benefit from a well-balanced mix of mature streets and brand-new sections.
Recent phases have introduced additional pools, trails, and play spaces — reflecting the ongoing investment in the community’s quality of life.
Builders & Home Designs
MorningStar was developed with multiple award-winning Central Texas builders, including Meritage Homes, Saratoga Homes, Brohn Homes, and Waterloo Homes by Brohn. This multi-builder approach gives the neighborhood architectural variety and ensures there’s something for every buyer’s lifestyle and budget.
Home sizes typically range from around 1,200 square feet to over 2,800 square feet, with one- and two-story layouts available. Many homes feature Hill Country-inspired architecture with stone and brick exteriors, welcoming front porches, and open-concept interiors designed for modern living.
Buyers can expect energy-efficient features, smart-home technology, and flexible spaces like home offices, game rooms, or media rooms — perfect for work-from-home or family entertainment. Homes are built on a range of lot sizes from 40’ to 60’, giving buyers options for more yard space, pools, or gardens.
Neighborhood Amenities
One of the biggest draws to MorningStar is its incredible list of amenities — truly setting it apart from other neighborhoods in the area.
