Capital Pacific's Colonial Place offers new homes minutes from downtown

Tired of long commutes and hours spent in traffic? Ready to move into a beautiful home just 15 minutes away from downtown Austin employers and attractions? Then it's time to visit Colonial Place, a close-in community from Capital Pacific Homes that's perfect for those families who want more out of life than simply sitting in traffic.

Located just off U.S. 290 and Springdale Road and open about 18 months, Colonial Place is still Austin's best-kept secret. Its tucked-away location near an established neighborhood means privacy for home buyers, yet they have all the amenities that come with owning a brand-new home in a newer community.

"For buyers who want great value that's close to the city, this community has it all," says Delane Bailey-Lopez, sales counselor for Colonial Place. "And now is a great time to get in and choose the home you want."

Custom Designs and Quality Homes

Capital Pacific Homes is known for building beautiful and affordable homes. With award-winning home designs that fit today's busy lifestyles — Capital Pacific was a 2005 MAX Award winner for Best Interior Merchandising and Best Product Design — this is one builder that offers a lot for buyers.

For example, imagine driving up to a home with pitched rooflines that add architectural interest and large windows that beg for holiday lights.

Colonial Place's model, the Charleston, is that home. Covering 2,077 square feet, this great home features three bedrooms (plus an option for a fourth bedroom), 2 1/2 baths, a large game room and living room for relaxing, plus a large pantry/utility area in the kitchen, a breakfast room, a formal dining room for holiday entertaining, and a study.

For those who want a new home for the holidays, Colonial Place has several finished homes ready for immediate move-in. For example, the Durango is a large one-story with 1,874 square feet, a large kitchen, 10-foot ceilings, three bedrooms (including a large master), two baths, a study, two dining areas (kitchen and formal), and a front porch for relaxing and visiting with new neighbors.

Amenities and Great Schools

A new community park in Colonial Place features a tree-shaded playscape with a slide shaped like a dragon, a pavilion for picnics, and a splash park with water-spraying sculptures.

For fun and relaxation, the Forest Creek Golf Club, Travis County Expo Center (home of the Austin Ice Bats hockey team), Bartholomew District Park, Walnut Creek Greenbelt, and Dottie Jordan Park and Pool are all nearby.

Children who live in Colonial Place attend schools in the Manor Independent School District, one of the fastest growing in the Austin area. Schools include Bluebonnet Elementary, Manor Middle School, and Manor High School.
