Wildhorse Ranch and the Manor-Side Master Plans

What is Wildhorse Ranch?

Wildhorse Ranch is a single planned development of roughly 1,400 acres, planned for more than 5,800 homes at full buildout (LoopNet listing, accessed September 2026), about 2,500 of them multifamily (acreage and multifamily count planned, per developer, as reported by KVUE).

The plan also includes retail and restaurants. Parmer Lane was extended south of US 290 to run through the property, and much of the commercial frontage sits along East Parmer and Wildhorse Ranch Trail.

Several builders have been active inside it, including Pulte, Highland Homes, Brohn Homes and Milestone. Resale listings in September 2026 were mostly houses built between 2019 and 2022 (HomeCity), so almost everything here is recent construction.

Is Wildhorse Ranch in Austin or in Manor?

Wildhorse Ranch addresses mostly read "Manor, TX 78653", but city jurisdiction varies by parcel: part of the project went through City of Austin zoning review (case C8-2017-0291.1A), so check each address on the Travis Central Appraisal District site.

One apartment property on Wildhorse Ranch Trail uses ZIP 78724, and listing sites describe the whole community as Manor. The answer can differ by parcel, and it affects property taxes and city services, so look up every taxing entity attached to the exact address before you buy.

What can you rent at Wildhorse Ranch today?

Wildhorse Ranch offers townhome-style rentals and apartments. Alta Wildhorse Ranch, the townhome-style rental community, lists one- to three-bedroom plans at about $1,785 to $2,794 (Apartments.com from $1,785; ApartmentList $1,835 to $2,794; both accessed September 23, 2026).

Alta Wildhorse Ranch plans run from about 468 to 1,957 square feet (ApartmentList, accessed September 23, 2026). Along Wildhorse Ranch Trail, apartment communities advertised lower starting rents, with one listing one-bedrooms from about $1,000, two-bedrooms from about $1,166 and three-bedrooms from about $1,416 (Apartments.com, accessed September 23, 2026).

For context, Manor's citywide average apartment rent was $1,511 on September 1, 2026 (RentCafe). The spread at Wildhorse reflects the difference between standard apartment floor plans and larger townhome units with more square footage. We can check current availability and move-in terms at the communities we work with.

What do homes cost at Wildhorse Ranch?

A snapshot of Wildhorse Ranch active listings on September 23, 2026 showed asking prices from about $340,000 to $450,000, with a median list price near $392,500 (HomeCity).

One national builder advertised new homes starting a little above $370,000 (NewHomeSource, accessed September 23, 2026). Because builders release new phases over time, a buyer here can compare a brand-new home with a resale house only a few years old on the next street.

When you compare, look at the total monthly cost. HOA dues fund the clubhouse, pool, fitness center and trail system, and the property tax rate depends on the taxing entities for that parcel. Ask for both in writing before you sign a contract.

How does Wildhorse compare with ShadowGlen and other Manor master plans?

Wildhorse Ranch's asking prices ($340,000 to $450,000 on September 23, 2026, HomeCity) sit toward the upper part of the $250,000 to $400,000 band a local guide gives for most Manor master-plan listings (LRG Realty, August 2026).

The Manor side of the corridor has a cluster of planned communities, each with its own amenity center and HOA:

The practical differences come down to location along US 290 versus deeper into Manor, HOA dues, the amenity package and each builder's floor plans. We can tour several communities in one day so you can compare them in person.

How do you get from Wildhorse Ranch to Downtown Austin and The Domain?

No published rush-hour figure specific to Wildhorse Ranch was found as of September 2026; for Manor, just east on US 290, a February 2026 guide gives 25 to 45 minutes to downtown Austin (Austin Real Estate Homes Blog).

Wildhorse sits where US 290 meets the SH 130 toll road. US 290 and its toll lanes run west into Austin, and Parmer Lane runs northwest toward the Samsung campus, Tech Ridge and, further west, the MoPac corridor near The Domain. Test the drive in a live map at your real departure time. For transit, check whether your address falls inside CapMetro's Pickup Manor on-demand zone map.

Crime statistics for Wildhorse Ranch are published by the Austin Police Department, the Manor Police Department or the Travis County Sheriff's Office, depending on the parcel; we link the same public source for every area we serve.
