Where Innovation, Sports, and Suburban Excellence Converge
Round Rock is one of Texas’s great suburban success stories — home to Dell Technologies’ global headquarters, the Triple-A Round Rock Express, and some of the highest-rated schools in the nation. Located 20 miles north of Austin, it offers families and professionals Austin’s energy and opportunity without its traffic or price tag. Round Rock’s consistent delivery on livability has earned it national recognition year after year.
Round Rock’s mature, competitive housing market offers deep inventory across all price tiers — from 1980s starter homes to luxury new-construction. Prices reflect desirability but remain more accessible than comparable Austin zip codes. Contact Sujin Park Henson at StarPointe Realty for expert guidance in this dynamic market.

Dell Diamond hosts Express games, concerts, and community events year-round. Round Rock Donuts — famous since 1926 for giant orange donuts — is a cultural institution.
Old Settlers Park spans 640 acres with sports complexes, trails, and playgrounds. Rock’N River Water Park provides summer fun. Brushy Creek Regional Trail connects neighborhoods across miles of greenway. The city’s extensive parks system supports every outdoor activity from disc golf to competitive youth athletics.
