Pflugerville Texas is Coming into its Own
As a 13-year resident of Pflugerville, Texas (located
immediately adjacent to north Austin), I have seen a lot of growth occur
here over the years. I
remember doing a real estate marketing piece in 1997, which was my first year
in the business. That year, they had recently replaced the population
sign for our town, which used to read 4,444. I believe this was for the
1990 census figures. As I recall, the population then was around 11,000,
so I was happy to point to our growth as a sign of things to come.
In 2000, the population was around 16,500, and it has
since increased by more than 100% since then, to over 35,400 this past year.
Projected growth shows Pflugerville doubling again
over the next decade, and tripling in size by 2025.
Many people are not aware that the popular television
show "Friday Night Lights" is filmed right here in town.
Fictional Dillon, Texas is actually Pflugerville. In fact, they even use
the same mascot name, the Panthers. The real life Panthers recently
competed in the Texas State High School Championship game.
With the advent of two new toll roads that converge
about 1.5 miles from my home, we are now able to get just about anywhere of
interest for shopping within 10-15 minutes, and my commute time to my office in
west Austin was cut from 40 to about 26 minutes.
Located at the intersection of the aforementioned
toll roads (45 and 130), Stone Hill Town Center is slated to
open within a few months, and it promises over 1,000,000
square feet of shopping and entertainment. Home Depot, Best Buy, Chili's, several retail clothing stores, a
large theater, and a fitness center are among the anticipated tenants.
I am happy that we bought our home here five years
ago, as prices are on the rise and the outlook is bright for Pflugerville real
estate.
