Shenandoah is a unique Cedar Park neighborhood bordering Austin between Lakeline and FM 620. Prized for large lots and abundant trees, Shenandoah gives the feeling of being rural yet it’s minutes away from major roadways and retail. Located in an ETJ of Williamson County, Shenandoah has a Cedar Park address, but is not officially in the City limits. It’s under the jurisdiction of Williamson County. Deed restrictions are very limited. A home must be occupied with a residential dwelling (whether owner occupied or rental), but other than that, you can pretty much do what you want. There are many small business owners who live in Shenandoah because they can build an outbuilding for equipment storage, park work trucks, etc. The neighborhood still offers a rural neighborhood feel with home based businesses quietly tucked in here and there. Many people have also added guest houses, pools and pool houses. Chickens are also allowed in Shenandoah, which is not allowed in the City of Cedar Park (people still do it if they don’t have an HOA).

The neighborhood is also unique in that the section with larger lots is on septic and not tied to the city sewer system. Shenandoah has not been annexed into the City of Cedar Park yet, so property taxes rates are low. The neighborhood is mostly of single-story ranch homes that range in age from the 1970s and 80s. Some have been completely remodeled or added on and some have added detached garages. There are still opportunities to be like Chip and Joanna in this neighborhood.The location can’t be beat for commuters to NW Austin jobs. Situated between Lakeline Blvd and FM 620, you can easily hop on SH 45 via FM 620 or Lakeline/183A for easy access to all major commuter routes and N Austin jobs. With the N Austin suburbs rapidly growing and Cedar Park attracting major employers, you don’t have to go far to find good jobs. If you want something different than a traditional suburban neighborhood, but you don’t want to drive too far, then this is the neighborhood for you in Cedar Park. Another unique neighborhood in Cedar Park that gives this feeling is Cedar Park Ranchettes.
