Avana Circle C is a fairly new Southwest Austin community that opened in August 2011 with building still going on today (June 2018). Originally, this large tract of land was meant to be an entirely separate community from nearby Circle C with 1,100 homes, 18-hole golf course and large hotel, however, previous builders faced difficulty with environmental obstacles followed by foreclosure, and current developers rezoned Avana to residential only. Avana was acquired by neighboring Circle C, which means Avana residents have access to all the great amenities Circle C has to offer. Avana also has its own, on-site pool and park within the neighborhood’s borders, so residents won’t have to leave the neighborhood to take the kids to the pool or park. Avana-Esquel was the first section of Avana. Selling out quicker than expected allowed CalAtlantic (the sole builder in Avana, now acquired by Lennar) to open new sections: Lantana at Avana, Maravilla at Avana and Valencia at Avana followed by Alviso. Maravilla and Valencia are a bit more upscale with larger lots and a higher quality finish out, while Lantana is following in Avana Esquel’s footsteps with quality finish outs and more affordable prices.
