Coventry Crossing in Cedar Park (and general Cedar Park info) (Austin: renting, crime)

[ohohoh]

Hello all. I'm looking to move to the Cedar Park area. Does anyone know anything about Coventry Crossing? The houses there are pretty cheap compared to the rest of the area. Is this an "undesirable" place to live? Anyone know about the demographics, etc. of the neighborhood? Also, I'm going to be working right off of 183 in North Austin. Any info about the commute time or routes to take? Thanks!

Coventry Crossing is right on the edge of the Cedar Park/Leander border. It's kind of a fringe community with really nice neighborhoods nearby and not so nice neighborhoods nearby as well. My husband has shown a lot of homes in that neighborhood and all of his clients like the homes but have not been 100% sure about some of the neighboring areas and have therefore gone to other areas of Cedar Park.

But, it's all a personal feel. You should check the crime websites to get an idea of what the crime levels are really like in comparison to any other areas you might be looking at. Good luck!

Cedar Park and Leander are fast growing cities that are improving as they grow. They have new landscaping and sign ordinances for businesses, lot size and masonry requirements for new construction, and are adding sidewalks. What this will do to older neighborhoods, I don't know but the area is definately not going to get worse. In Leander, some of them are being torn down for commercial growth. (A Leander city councilman got the new ordinances passed partly by saying, "We don't want 183 to look like Burnet Road." )

Thanks for the info so far. Are there any other neighborhoods that are comparable in price that would be considered on the better side of Cedar Park? I'm looking for under $200k for at least 2,000 sq ft and a decent-sized yard. I can't stand being totally on top of my neighbors. Some houses in Coventry Crossing for 2500 sq ft are selling for $140,000-$160,000. They were built around 2000. Also any commuting time replies to the original post would be appreciated. Thanks!

We live out in Leander (renting) right now and will be buy next year sometime and I have drven through CCrossing but the area does not seem bad at all. Now the houses themselves could be of better quailty I think but I am sure you can find the right one for you.

Try Cypress Bend, Ranch at Cypress Creek, Anderson Mill West....all of these areas are near the Cedar Park High School Area. My husband works near the Domain area and it takes him about 20-25 minutes in the morning and about 25-30 in the afternoon.
