Cedar Park is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation with a rapidly growing population around 42,400, according to the United States Bureau of the Census.

From a population of 5,161 in 1990, Cedar Park has exploded on the popularity scale, developing into an urban center of over 40,000 residents in a little more than 20 years.

Cedar Park's popularity as a place to live, work and raise families comes as no surprise to the citizens who helped the town grow. Located only 17 miles from the heart of downtown Austin,the State Capitol and home of The University of Texas, Cedar Park offers all the amenities of a major metropolitan area but far enough away to offer the relaxed life style that is in keeping with a family oriented community.

While Austin is known as the "Live Music Capital of the World" there is an abundance of cultural and recreational opportunities for families to enjoy. The Highland Lakes area, a system of five lakes created along the beautiful Colorado River, stretches from downtown Austin (Town Lake and Auditorium Shores) to Lake Buchanan some 60 miles away in Burnet. The largest of the lakes, Lake Travis, is the most popular recreational site among the lakes and can be easily accessed at numerous sites ranging from five miles to ten miles from Cedar Park.

One of the advantages of living in Cedar Park and central Texas is that there is just so much to do and so much to enjoy.
