Lariat offers a master-planned community with thoughtful design, open space and a welcoming neighborhood for modern living, set on rolling Hill Country landscapes.
“When people arrive at Lariat, they notice how different it feels,” Senior Market Manager Mike Tvinnereim said. “You have open land, Hill Country views and a true neighborhood atmosphere—yet you’re close to everything people need.”
Homes built around living
Lariat is a master-planned community offering diverse styles and designs, with about 1,600 homes and 10 builders.
Drees Custom Homes offers a range of floor plans in Lariat, built on 70- and 80-foot homesites. Home sizes range from 2,800 to over 5,500 square feet, accommodating various lifestyles. Buyers can choose one- and two-story layouts, with select plans featuring loft-style second floors for extra flexibility.
Drees Homes offer variety and character with multiple exterior elevations, including stone, brick, board-and-batten detailing and inviting front porches.
The result is a cohesive yet personalized streetscape, offering a neighborhood with charm and distinction.
Why location matters
Lariat offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful small-town lifestyle and quick access to the city.
Residents enjoy scenic Hill Country views and open landscapes that make the community feel like a retreat from the hustle and bustle, while being minutes from major highways, shopping and schools. An onsite elementary school will open next year, making it ideal for families.
“The location of Lariat is one of its biggest draws,” Tvinnereim said. “You get the space and tranquility of a home, but you’re a short drive from Cedar Park, Austin and local amenities.”
Community amenities like green belts, trails and nearby shopping centers provide convenience without compromising the neighborhood’s relaxed country feel. Upcoming features, such as a back exit directly to 183 and planned farmers markets, enhance daily life.
Step inside for modern comfort
Step inside a Drees home in Lariat, and you will see evidence of thoughtful design.
Open-concept layouts, high ceilings and natural light create spacious, inviting interiors. Kitchens feature modern cabinetry, spacious islands, and energy-efficient appliances.
These homes are smart and energy-conscious, with integrated systems that allow residents to control lighting, temperature and security from a smartphone or tablet. Advanced HVAC, programmable thermostats and high-performance insulation ensure consistent comfort while reducing energy use.
“Every detail in a Drees home is designed for easier and more comfortable living,” Tvinnereim said.
Homes built to last
Drees Custom Homes goes beyond standard construction practices to ensure every home lasts.
Every residence undergoes blower-door and duct testing to guarantee airtight performance, minimizing energy waste and preventing hot and cold spots. This attention to detail allows Drees to guarantee a three-degree temperature differential throughout the home.
“Our goal is simple: deliver homes that are as comfortable as they are durable,” Tvinnereim said.

A hallmark of Drees Custom Homes is the ability for buyers to personalize their homes to fit their lifestyle.

Exterior customizations allow homeowners to make a statement while maintaining the community’s cohesive feel, from extended patios to unique elevation choices.
