Regency at Santa Rita Ranch

Independent Assessment

Regency at Santa Rita Ranch is confirmed as a real, currently selling, for-sale single-family subdivision — not a rental or continuing-care facility — built and marketed directly by Toll Brothers with individually deeded home sites, a dedicated sales center, and five model homes. Reported total planned home counts vary across sources (roughly 359 to 414 homes depending on the listing page and collection breakdown referenced), which is attributed to the community's phased release structure rather than to any inconsistency in the community's real, in-market status. Note that the community sits in Williamson County, not Travis County, despite falling within the broader Austin-metro commuting area — buyers should not assume Travis County tax or jurisdictional rules apply here.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a luxury, single-builder 55+ community with a dedicated private clubhouse, while still having walkable or short-drive access to the amenities and retail of the much larger 3,100-acre Santa Rita Ranch master plan, are the best fit for Regency at Santa Rita Ranch. Its multiple collections and 15 floor plans also suit buyers who want a range of home sizes, from smaller Garden Collection plans to larger Orchard Collection homes, within a single age-restricted community.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Regency at Santa Rita Ranch is developed by Toll Brothers under its national Regency active-adult brand, within the roughly 3,100-acre Santa Rita Ranch master-planned community in Liberty Hill. The community is organized into three collections: the Garden Collection (1,599 to 2,367+ sq. ft. on 50-foot home sites), the Meadow Collection (2,087 to 2,844+ sq. ft. on 60-foot home sites), and the Orchard Collection (2,693 to 3,568+ sq. ft. on 70-foot home sites), together offering 15 floor plans with 2 to 4 bedrooms and 2- to 4-car garages. The Retreat, the community's private clubhouse, held its grand opening on May 4, 2024, at 220 Flower Valley Parkway in Liberty Hill, and Toll Brothers continued announcing new phases of home sites into 2025.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Reported new-construction pricing starts around $361,995 for the Garden Collection and $481,995 for the Meadow Collection, with the larger Orchard Collection priced above both. As a still-actively-selling, phased community, current base pricing and available incentives should be confirmed directly with the Toll Brothers sales team, since production-builder pricing typically shifts by phase and by home-site release.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

As an actively selling community still releasing new phases as of the last update, most current purchase activity is new construction directly from Toll Brothers, with standard Toll Brothers new-home warranty coverage. A limited but growing secondary/resale market exists for earlier-phase homes given sales activity dating back to at least 2022-2023. Buyers should confirm current phase availability and lot releases directly with the sales team, and resale buyers should request the HOA's most recent financials and confirm the split between the Regency-specific and Santa Rita Ranch master-plan fees.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes here are subject to Williamson County property tax, not Travis County tax, since the community sits in Liberty Hill within Williamson County despite falling within the broader Austin-metro commuting area. As with most Central Texas master-planned communities, homes may also sit within a Municipal Utility District (MUD) or similar special taxing district tied to Santa Rita Ranch's infrastructure; the specific district and its current rate for the Regency section could not be independently confirmed. Texas has no state income tax, and homeowners age 65 or older can apply for Texas's additional homestead exemption and school-tax freeze once they reach that age, separate from this community's 55+ HOA eligibility. Buyers should confirm current county, MUD, and any special-district rates directly with Williamson County and the Santa Rita Ranch HOA.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Regency at Santa Rita Ranch pairs a dedicated, age-restricted clubhouse and amenity package exclusive to its own residents with proximity to the much larger, mixed-age Santa Rita Ranch master plan's broader retail, trail, and community infrastructure. This dual-layer structure — a private 55+ amenity center inside a larger master-planned development — is a distinguishing feature relative to freestanding single-builder 55+ communities that lack access to a larger surrounding master plan's amenities.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

The community sits within Santa Rita Ranch near the intersection of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Highway 29 in Liberty Hill, Williamson County, less than 35 miles from downtown Austin. The location gives residents access to Liberty Hill's and Georgetown's growing retail corridors, with Highway 29 and Ronald Reagan Boulevard providing primary routes toward the broader Austin metro.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Regency at Santa Rita Ranch is treated as a legally age-restricted 55-and-older community, consistent with the Toll Brothers Regency national brand's standard HOPA-compliant structure, which requires at least one resident age 55 or older in at least 80% of occupied homes under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA). The specific recorded Williamson County deed or covenant language for this community was not independently pulled. Buyers should confirm current occupancy rules and age-verification procedures directly with Toll Brothers or the HOA.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because Regency at Santa Rita Ranch sits inside the larger, mixed-age Santa Rita Ranch master plan, buyers should expect to pay into both the Regency-specific homeowners association and the broader Santa Rita Ranch community association, and the current dollar amount of either fee could not be independently confirmed. Reported total planned home-count figures are not fully reconciled across sources. As a still-selling, newer community, buyers should also expect ongoing phase releases, meaning available floor plans, home sites, and pricing will continue to shift between the last update and any purchase decision.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within the broader Austin-metro active-adult market, Regency at Santa Rita Ranch is distinguished by its award-winning status (Best 55+ Community, HBA of Greater Austin, 2024) and its position inside a large, established master-planned community rather than as a standalone development. It sits in Williamson County, similar in jurisdiction to Sun City Texas in nearby Georgetown, but offers a smaller, more boutique-scaled clubhouse and home count than Sun City's much larger, longer-established footprint; buyers weighing the two should compare total home count, amenity scale, and HOA fee structure directly, since Regency's is a newer, smaller community still in active build-out. It is also geographically and jurisdictionally distinct from Del Webb Austin at Lost Pines in Bastrop County, which sits on the opposite side of the Austin metro in Bastrop County.
