Foxfield
Three streets named after foxes, wedged between a 293-acre park and the Domain. Seven homes left, one builder, and a tax line on the listings that is wrong by roughly thirteen thousand dollars a year on six of the seven.

Get the real tax number before you get a payment quote
Most listings here show the vacant lot's tax bill, not the house's. Luke Allen will put the actual figure in front of you and make sure your lender escrows from it, which is the difference between a payment that works and a shortage notice in year two.
The short version
Foxfield is a small MileStone enclave in north Austin with 7 homes for sale, from $644,990 to $949,999 at a median near $799,999. That is about $331 a square foot, against roughly $292 across new construction inside Austin city limits and about $194 across the metro. You are paying for position: Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park on one side, the Domain minutes away on the other.
The thing to fix before anything else is the tax line. 6 of the 7 active listings show an annual tax of about $2,833, which is the assessment on the vacant lot. One home here has been on the roll a full year and is billed $16,166. Same streets, same rate, and only the second number is real.
Two other things the address does not tell you. The schools are Pflugerville ISD, not Austin ISD. And the homesites run about 0.083 of an acre, roughly 3,600 square feet, against a metro median nearer 0.14. This is a buy for proximity, not for land.
The finding
Two tax bills on the same three streets, and one of them is fiction
Every home below sits in the same taxing jurisdictions and pays the same rate. The column on the right is what the MLS currently reports for each one. Read it with the year built beside it and the pattern is immediate.

The home built in 2025 finished a year before the others, so the finished house is on the tax roll and its record is real. The rest still carry what the county charged on an empty lot, and the MLS reports the last figure on file because that is all there is. Nobody is being deceptive. But a buyer comparing these seven homes side by side is reading a tax column where one row tells the truth and six do not, and the gap is around $15,392 a year on the median home.
Why it bites
If your lender builds the initial escrow from the land figure, the monthly payment quoted at closing is roughly $1,283 a month light. The county reassesses, the servicer recalculates, and in year two you get a shortage notice asking for the difference in a lump sum plus a permanently higher payment. Ask your lender in writing which figure they used, and if it is the low one, ask them to re-run it before you are committed.
The rate, line by line
- Pflugerville ISD1.1069%
- City of Austin0.5740%
- Travis County0.3758%
- Central Health0.1180%
- Austin Community College0.1034%
- Combined, 20252.28%
The bill is calculated on the appraised value, not your purchase price, so treat the estimates above as a guide and pull the real figure for the specific property from the Travis Central Appraisal District.
One detail the real record gives away, and it is useful. That home is billed $16,166 while asking $899,999. At the combined rate above, that implies the county currently appraises it near $710,000, well below the asking price. Appraised value and list price are not the same number, which is exactly why the estimates in the right-hand column are a guide rather than a quote, and why they read high against the one bill we can see.

The trade
What $331 a square foot buys, and what it does not
Foxfield prices well above the city and nearly double the metro. That is not unreasonable, but it is worth being clear about what you are actually paying for.
Per square foot
$331
Against about $292 across new construction inside Austin city limits and $194 across the metro. The one closed sale in the community went at $342 a foot.
Typical homesite
0.083 ac
Roughly 3,600 square feet, against a metro median near 0.14 of an acre. Two-car garages throughout. The land is not what you are buying.
Association dues
$81
A month, identical on every listing. Low, and consistent with a community whose main amenity is a public park rather than a private campus to staff.
Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park
- 293 acres, one of the largest parks in Austin, immediately north of the community
- Roughly 15 miles of hiking and mountain-biking trails
- A large off-leash dog area
- A public swimming pool, playgrounds and a nature play area
- Softball fields, pavilions and picnic areas
Plus the other half of the argument: the Domain and the north Austin tech corridor are minutes away rather than a commute. Nothing new gets built this close to both at this scale, which is the honest case for the premium.
- A yard. The homesites are about 3,600 square feet in most cases.
- Austin ISD. The campuses are River Oaks, Westview and John B Connally, all Pflugerville ISD.
- A gate. Nothing in the records or the builder's material describes gated access, whatever you read elsewhere.
- A private amenity centre. The park next door is public, excellent, and busy at weekends.
- A second builder to negotiate against. Every home here is MileStone.
Schools
An Austin address, a Pflugerville ISD assignment
Every active and closed record in Foxfield shows the same three campuses: River Oaks Elementary, Westview Middle School and John B Connally High School, all in Pflugerville ISD. The community is inside Austin city limits and pays City of Austin tax, but far north Austin is where the city boundary and the Austin ISD boundary stop agreeing with each other.
This is the same shape of surprise as Nolina in Georgetown, and it matters for the same reason: a buyer paying an in-city premium usually assumes the in-city district comes with it. Here it does not. Confirm the campuses for the exact address with the district before you write.
The builder
MileStone, and only MileStone
Every home in the community comes from MileStone Community Builders, carrying their energy package with a 16 SEER HVAC system and a tankless water heater. The community is small and into its final homesites, with one listing describing its lot as the last of the largest ones.
One builder and a short runway cuts both ways. There is no competing sales office to play against, which removes the easiest source of leverage. But a builder finishing out a community has a different set of incentives from one opening a new phase, and standing inventory at the end of a project is usually the most negotiable inventory there is. Push on inclusions and the rate buydown rather than on price.
MileStone also builds Sauls Ranch East in Round Rock and The Overlook at Westlake, so if the builder suits you and Foxfield does not, there are two other places to look. The full builder profile has the rest.
Before you tour
Six things to settle first
None of these are reasons to rule Foxfield out. They are the things that cost buyers money here, because nobody at a sales office is paid to raise them.
Throw away the tax figure on the listing
Unless you are looking at the one home that has a full year on the roll, the annual tax shown is the vacant lot. Six of seven active listings here show about $2,833. The real bill at these prices is in the mid teens of thousands. If your lender sets the initial escrow off the low figure, the payment looks fine at closing and a shortage notice arrives in year two asking for the gap in a lump sum.
This is an Austin address in Pflugerville ISD
River Oaks Elementary, Westview Middle and John B Connally High, all Pflugerville ISD, not Austin ISD. Nothing wrong with that, but buyers who pay a city premium usually assume they are buying the city's district too. Confirm the campuses for the exact address with the district before you write an offer.
Price the lot, not just the house
Homesites here run about 0.083 to 0.124 of an acre, against a metro median near 0.14. You are buying roughly 3,600 square feet of land in most cases. That is the deliberate trade for the location, and it is the right trade for some buyers, but do not expect a yard.
There is no second builder to negotiate against
Every home here is MileStone and the community is small and well into its final homesites. That removes the usual leverage of playing one sales office against another. What is left is the specific home that has been standing longest, what gets included, and the rate buydown. Those are still worth real money, and they are where the conversation should go.
It is not gated
Worth saying because the opposite gets repeated online. Nothing in the MLS records or MileStone's own material describes gated access. It is a small enclave of three streets rather than a gated community, which is a different thing and priced differently in resale.
Walk the park boundary before you commit
Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park is the single best argument for buying here, and it is genuinely excellent: 293 acres, 15 miles of trail and a large off-leash area on your doorstep. It is also a busy public park. Walk the edge of the community on a Saturday morning, not a Tuesday afternoon, so you know what you are buying next to.
Builder-paid representation
Start with the real tax number
At Foxfield the single most expensive mistake available is budgeting from the tax figure printed on the listing, which on six of seven homes is the vacant lot. Luke Allen will pull the real number for the specific property, make sure your lender escrows from it, and negotiate with a builder who is finishing out a community rather than opening one. He represents you, not MileStone, and the builder pays his fee in most cases, disclosed in writing before you tour.

Good to know
Foxfield questions, answered
- Why do Foxfield listings show such a low property tax amount?
- Because six of the seven active listings carry the vacant lot's assessment rather than the finished house. They show about $2,833 a year. One home in the community, finished a year earlier and therefore on the tax roll for a full year, shows $16,166. Same three streets, same taxing entities, same rate. Only the higher figure reflects what you will actually pay. This happens on new construction everywhere in Texas, but Foxfield is small enough that both numbers sit side by side in the same search results, which makes it unusually easy to see.
- What will property taxes actually be at Foxfield?
- The combined 2025 rate for a City of Austin address inside Pflugerville ISD in Travis County is about 2.28 percent once you count Pflugerville ISD, the City of Austin, Travis County, Central Health and Austin Community College. Applied to the prices here, that points to a first full-year bill somewhere in the mid teens of thousands rather than the $2,833 on most of the listings. The single real data point in the community is a home billed $16,166. Remember that the bill is calculated on the appraised value rather than your purchase price, so pull the figure for the specific property from the Travis Central Appraisal District.
- How much do homes at Foxfield cost?
- Active listings run from about $645,000 to $950,000 at a median near $800,000, on homes of roughly 1,888 to 2,944 square feet, as of early October 2026. That is about $331 a square foot, against roughly $292 across new construction inside Austin city limits and about $194 across the metro. The one closed sale in the community went at $724,990, which worked out to $342 a foot. Live listings are on this page.
- What school district is Foxfield in?
- Pflugerville ISD, despite the Austin address in 78758. The campuses are River Oaks Elementary, Westview Middle School and John B Connally High School, and every active and closed record in the community shows the same three. This is a common pattern in far north Austin, where the city limits and the Austin ISD boundary are not the same line. Confirm the assignment for the exact address with the district, since boundaries move.
- Who builds at Foxfield?
- MileStone Community Builders, and only MileStone. Every listing in the community, active and closed, comes through the same brokerage. The homes carry MileStone's energy package, including a 16 SEER HVAC system and a tankless water heater. Because there is a single builder and the community is small and well into its final homesites, there is no competing sales office to negotiate against; the leverage is in the specific home, the timing, and what is included.
- Is Foxfield a gated community?
- No. Nothing in the MLS records or in MileStone's own material for the community describes gated access, and it is worth stating plainly because the claim circulates online. Foxfield is a small enclave of three streets, Kit Circle, Corsac Way and Fennec Way, next to a large public park. That is a different product from a gated community and it resells differently.
- What is the HOA fee at Foxfield?
- $81.25 a month, which is $975 a year, and it is identical on all seven active listings, so there is no ambiguity here of the kind you find in larger master plans. That is low, which is consistent with a small community whose main amenity is a 293-acre public park next door rather than a private amenity centre the association has to staff and maintain. Ask for the dues schedule and the association budget in writing anyway.
- What is around Foxfield?
- Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park sits immediately north: 293 acres with roughly 15 miles of hiking and mountain-biking trails, a large off-leash dog area, a public pool and playgrounds. The Domain and the north Austin tech corridor are minutes away, which is the other half of the location argument and the reason the prices here look the way they do. This is a buy for proximity rather than for land or for schools.
