Sunfield

Resort-Style Living, Every Day. Buda.

The Vibe

Sunfield is a vibrant, active, and deeply family-focused community where the line between home and vacation destination is intentionally blurred. The atmosphere is energetic and social, revolving around a collection of water amenities that feel more like a high-end resort than a neighborhood pool. It is a place built for an outdoor-oriented lifestyle, where weekends are spent floating down a lazy river, gathering with neighbors at community events, and enjoying the wide-open spaces of modern Buda. This is the neighborhood for those who want their home to be an experience—a destination in itself.

The Story

As a flagship master-planned community, Sunfield epitomizes the sophisticated growth of modern Buda. Developed across a sprawling 2,428 acres, its design was meticulously focused on creating a lifestyle, not just a subdivision. The community quickly became a trailblazer in the Austin metro, proving that resort-level amenities could be delivered at an affordable price point, a combination that attracted families and professionals seeking more value just south of the city. A cornerstone of this family-centric vision was the inclusion of an on-site elementary school, Sunfield Elementary, which opened in 2022, cementing the neighborhood’s status as a self-contained world for its residents.

The Lifestyle

Life in Sunfield is an immersion in amenity-rich living. The community’s social and recreational life is anchored by its spectacular water features: two separate lazy rivers (one over 1,000 feet long), multiple pools including a Junior Olympic lap pool, and several splash pads designed to beat the Texas heat. Beyond the water, residents have access to over 12 miles of hiking and biking trails, catch-and-release fishing ponds, numerous playgrounds, and dedicated dog parks. What truly elevates the experience is the full-time Lifestyle Director, who curates a packed calendar of events designed to foster a tight-knit community. From massive holiday extravaganzas and movie nights to quirky gatherings like goat yoga, these events transform neighbors into friends and reinforce the community’s fun-loving, laid-back identity.

The Homes

Sunfield offers a diverse range of modern, single-family homes designed with functional, family-friendly layouts. A consortium of respected builders—including David Weekley Homes, Taylor Morrison, Pulte, Chesmar, and Brightland Homes—has contributed to the neighborhood, ensuring a variety of styles and floor plans. Homes typically feature 3 to 5 bedrooms and range in size from approximately 1,200 to over 4,300 square feet, with open-concept designs being a common feature. The price point remains a key attraction, with homes ranging from the high $200,000s to the mid $700,000s, offering significant value compared to similarly amenitized communities closer to Austin’s core.
