Leander, TX

Leander’s population just reached 50,000, and with a growth rate of over 11% (16 people a day) it is now the fastest growing city over 50,000 in the country. With almost 1,600 single family housing starts last year and a number of new multifamily projects either open or under construction there seems to be no stopping the city’s expansion.

The Leander Transit Oriented Development (TOD) district, focused on the city’s rail depot providing the only commuter rail line into downtown Austin, is rapidly developing and is expected to be home to over 30,000 people when complete. With a 100 acre Austin Community College campus under construction and a 50 acre St. David’s hospital/medical complex set to break ground shortly within the TOD, city leaders are in the process of seeking property for its next mixed use development center.
