Circle C is a master-planned community with thousands of homes in Southwest Austin. It was started in the 80’s, surrounded by controversy over the developer, Gary Bradley, and it’s location over the Edward’s Aquifer. It is located in the area west of the intersection of Slaughter Lane and Mopac. Lacking any retail nearby, it was a bit too far south to hit its stride as the premium master planned community in Southwest Austin until after the Mopac freeway overpass was built over William Cannon Blvd in 2004. Since that time, commercial development, housing prices and further residential development in the area have exploded. An upscale H.E.B. grocery, Starbucks, Nuevo Leon Mexican Restaurant and even an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema are all part of Circle C now. Circle C has many community amenities, such as the only heated Olympic sized outdoor pool in South Austin, a golf course and tennis club. It is surrounded by 450 acres of dedicated parkland and nature preserves, including the famous Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, making it a wonderful place for lovers of the outdoors. The Veloway is located at the end of the park and has a 3.1-mile, 23-foot-wide track made for rollerblading and cycling.
Circle C is about a 15-minute drive from downtown Austin when there’s no traffic.
