About this site
Circle C Ranch is a 5,000-home master plan in southwest Austin, zoned to Kiker / Gorzycki / Bowie inside Austin ISD. This site lives and breathes Circle C — every section, every pocket, every Grey Rock fairway lot — and then indexes the surrounding Bowie-pipeline neighborhoods (Avana, Meridian, Legend Oaks, Village at Western Oaks) for buyers who need the school zone but a different product.
Inside Circle C Ranch
Circle C is not one thing. It is a stack of sections built across three decades — each with its own street pattern, lot size, and personality. Here is how I describe them to clients who need to know which Circle C street to walk before writing an offer.
Quiet Circle C pocket with greenbelt access; trades fast when listed.
Newer Circle C section near Slaughter Lane, modern transitional product.
Small, tightly-held Circle C pocket — premium per-foot pricing.
Golf-adjacent Circle C section near Grey Rock Golf Club fairways.
Early-2000s Circle C section, larger floor plans, mature oaks.
Tight Circle C pocket near the amenity blocks — walkable to Swim Center.

Also in the Gorzycki + Bowie pipeline
Circle C is the focus here, but the Gorzycki Middle / Bowie High pipeline opens four adjacent communities that buyers regularly cross-shop. Use these as a secondary index when Circle C inventory does not match the brief.
Newer master-planned tier — KB / Taylor Morrison / Highland.
PipelineFamily-amenity sweet spot just west of core Circle C.
PipelineSeparate HOA, same AISD pipeline — value tier.

FAQ
Yes — Circle C Ranch is consistently the most search-active master-planned community in southwest Austin. It sits inside the Austin ISD pipeline (Kiker / Gorzycki / Bowie HS), has more than 5,000 homes across multiple sub-sections, and offers the Veloway, the Circle C Swim Center, multiple parks, and quick MoPac access to downtown Austin, Apple, and Tesla.
Most Circle C addresses feed Kiker Elementary → Gorzycki Middle School → Bowie High School inside Austin ISD. Some east-Circle-C sections feed Clayton Elementary instead, and neighbors like Legend Oaks and Village at Western Oaks feed Mills / Patton elementaries into Small MS → Bowie HS. See the Circle C Schools Guide for a street-level breakdown.
Same school zone (Kiker / Gorzycki / Bowie), very different product. Core Circle C is older (1995–2010), with larger lots and mature trees. Avana is newer (2018–present) with modern open-concept floor plans on smaller lots. Expect roughly $650K entry in core Circle C versus $850K in Avana for comparable square footage.
Circle C Ranch is roughly 12 miles from downtown Austin. Off-peak, it's an 18-minute drive up MoPac. At 5pm peak, plan on 28 minutes. Apple's north campus runs ~20 minutes off-peak and ~32 minutes at peak.
