Austin's Creek
Approachable single-family pricing inside a master-planned community — interior single-family homesites within The Palisades, characterized by two-story and 1.5-story production plans with mixed brick and siding.
The character of Austin's Creek
Austin's Creek is one of the most accessible entry points into The Palisades. Its plans — including Lennar's Enclave series with Everything's Included® features — deliver full access to the community's trails, pools, and social calendar at a materially lower cost of entry than the waterfront or gated estate enclaves.
The trade-off is lot size and customization: homes here were delivered as production plans on efficient lots rather than as bespoke commissions. For many families that is exactly the point — the amenity access is identical regardless of which side of the community you buy on.
Buyers moving up within the community frequently start in Austin's Creek, which is one reason resale velocity here tends to run ahead of the estate enclaves.
Architecture
Two-story and 1.5-story production plans with mixed brick and siding. Exterior materials, massing, and site work in this enclave are subject to the community’s architectural review process, which is why the streetscape reads as a coherent whole rather than a collection of unrelated houses.
