Garfield offers wide-open country living with quick connections to Austin and the rest of Travis County. Minutes from the terminals at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, residents can be wheels up in no time thanks to its proximity to SH‑71 and FM 973, while daily life moves at a quieter pace along the Colorado River. Outdoor days are easy to fill: hike and zip across canyons at McKinney Roughs Nature Park, unwind under the pecans at Richard Moya Park, or spot migrating birds at the Hornsby Bend Center for Environmental Research. Big-ticket entertainment is close by, too, with major races and concerts at Circuit of The Americas.
Families are served by the Del Valle area’s Del Valle Independent School District, known for career and technical programs and abundant extracurriculars. Higher ed and workforce training are nearby at Austin Community College’s Riverside Campus. Housing ranges from acreage homesteads to newer builds, giving buyers room to customize and grow, while commuters appreciate the straight shot to job hubs in Austin and easy weekend escapes to Bastrop.
