History & Homebuilding
Block House Creek is one of the more established master-planned communities in the Cedar Park/Leander area, with homes first built as early as the 1980s through the early 2000s. A number of custom and production builders contributed to the neighborhood over the years, including D.R. Horton (with some early Milburn homes), Roper, and Giddens Homes, which contributed to the neighborhood’s eclectic yet cohesive architectural feel.
Block House Creek offers a wide variety of single-family homes, with many reflecting timeless architectural styles such as classic brick exteriors and welcoming front porches. The neighborhood features a mix of one- and two-story designs, ranging from cozy ranch-style homes under 1,500 square feet to more spacious two-story residences approaching 3,800 square feet. Lot sizes tend to be generous, with many properties situated on quarter-acre lots or larger, offering ample outdoor space, a rare find so close to the heart of Leander and Cedar Park.
