Scofield Farms


This month, we’re spotlighting the Scofield Farms Neighborhood of Austin, Texas, which began construction in the early 1980’s.  This quiet gem of a neighborhood is located between I-35 and Mopac, just North of Parmer and south of Howard Lane in North Austin.  Its location is popular with tech workers because of its proximity to employers like Dell, Samsung Semiconductor, and IBM.  It is also close to major highways, so it’s great for a 20 minute commute into downtown Austin or other areas of the city.

Residents of Scofield Farms enjoy its family atmosphere, highly rated schools, and events like Fourth of July Parades.  It’s also more affordably priced because it has never been a trendy neighborhood like those in Central Austin.  It’s not far from shopping at the Arboretum or the Domain, either, and St. David’s North Austin Medical Center is also close for emergencies.

Hutto


This month, we’re going to be profiling Hutto, Texas, a suburb of Austin Texas.  This rapidly growing town is located 11 miles East of Round Rock and 22 miles Northeast of Austin. Hutto has been growing rapidly over the last decade or so, from just over 1,000 people in 2000, to 14,698 by the 2010 census.

Hutto was established in 1876, when the International-Great Northern Railroad passed through the land of Hutto’s namesake, James Emory Hutto.  Shortly after, many more families, mostly Swedish and German immigrants, arrived in Hutto via the railroad to farm and ranch.  

The sports teams in Hutto are the Hippos, and the story is that in 1915 when a circus train stopped at the depot, a hippopotamus escaped from the train.  He headed straight for Cottonwood Creek and began to enjoy himself in its muddy waters.  Eventually, the hippo was coaxed to leave the mud and return to the train car.  It wasn’t too long after that when the Hutto School adopted the hippopotamus as its mascot.

Looking for an apartment in Hutto?  Give Apartment Experts North a call at 512-339-4411.  We’ve got expert knowledge of the vacancies, move-in specials and amenities at all the best Hutto addresses.
