Homebuyers seeking a picturesque setting, first-class amenities, and expertly crafted homes will find everything they’re looking for in this master-planned community. Travisso is one of Leander’s much anticipated master planned communities that broke ground in 2014 and construction is still going on today (April 2025). Built adjacent to Crystal Falls and developed by the developer who was responsible for Steiner Ranch, it is no wonder Travisso is poised for explosive growth. Travisso won the 2019 award from the Austin-American Statesman for best amenities. These award winning amenities include a resort style community pool with 9 acre community center for events and social activities, tennis courts, fitness center, playscape, 350 acres of open Hill Country as well as hike and bike trails. Travisso also employs a full time Lifestyle Director to schedule and program events for homeowners to get to know one another. Unlike most master planned communities, Travisso is hilly, so you’ll get some pretty spectacular views from various points in the community. And, situated on the outskirts of Leander, Travisso residents really feel like they are getting away from it all without really being away from it all. Homes range in size from 1,777-6,911 square feet, with a median size of 3,204 square feet, have 2-6 bedrooms and 2-9 bathrooms. Travisso lots range from 0.08-1.35 acres, with a median size of 0.226 acres. Taylor Morrison developed the property, but were not the only builders. Drees, Grand Haven, Highland and Toll Brothers, as well as a few custom builders for one or two homes have all built in Travisso. If you’re looking for a well rounded master planned community in a spectacular setting, Travisso is a great place to start your search. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking for your next luxury home upgrade, this Travisso Neighborhood Guide will tell you everything you need to know about living in Travisso.
