About Behrens Ranch

Living in Behrens Ranch

What distinguishes Behrens Ranch is the combination of larger lots (most homes sit on 1/4 acre or more), mature oak trees, and a school assignment to Round Rock High - one of the two most academically ranked high schools in the district. Buyers consistently pay a premium here specifically for that school assignment.

Homes range from $450K to $800K. Expect 2,500–4,500 sqft on established lots. Resale velocity is fast - well-priced homes in Behrens Ranch typically go under contract within 1–2 weeks during a normal market.
