Century Communities Opens New Homes at Crosswinds in Kyle, Texas, With Six Floor Plans Starting in the $400s

For families considering a move to Kyle, Texas, or looking for more space without leaving the greater Austin area, a new homebuilding option has arrived at Crosswinds. National homebuilder Century Communities has officially introduced six single-family floor plans in the master-planned community, with prices starting in the $400s and homes designed for a variety of household needs.

The builder celebrated its grand opening on October 28, 2026, giving prospective buyers an opportunity to tour its Everglade model home, explore the neighborhood and learn about introductory homebuying incentives. Located approximately 20 miles south of downtown Austin, Crosswinds offers access to Interstate 35, nearby employment centers, community recreation and schools within Hays Consolidated Independent School District (Hays CISD).

For current Kyle residents, the addition represents another chapter in the city's residential growth. For prospective homeowners searching for new construction homes near Austin, Buda or San Marcos, it introduces another option in a community where neighborhood parks, walking trails and shared gathering spaces are part of the overall design.

What Homebuyers Can Expect From Century Communities at Crosswinds

The available floor plans include Geneva, Norman, Lassen, Savannah, Denali II and Everglade. Each is designed on an oversized 60-foot homesite and includes a standard three-car garage, a feature that may appeal to households needing additional parking, storage or space for outdoor equipment.

Depending on the selected plan, buyers can also find features such as gourmet kitchens, fireplaces and covered patios.

The variety of layouts gives prospective homeowners several options, whether they are looking for extra bedrooms for a growing family, a dedicated home office or additional room for visiting relatives.

"Crosswinds sits in an ideal location, combining suburban charm with quick access to major Austin-area employers," said Paul Kwiatkowski, Division President of Century Communities. "In addition to exciting amenities, this new community offers a range of modern floor plans that make it easy for buyers to find a home that complements their lifestyle. We invite interested homebuyers to visit our Grand Opening on October 28 to tour our model home, explore the community, and learn about available homes."

Crosswinds Amenities Include Pools, Splash Park, Pickleball and Walking Trails

Beyond the homes themselves, Crosswinds is designed around shared outdoor spaces and recreational amenities.

The master-planned community incorporates parks, open space and trails intended to complement the surrounding Texas prairie landscape. Residents have access to the Windy Point Amenity Center, which includes a swimming pool complex, splash park, event lawn, grilling areas and picnic spaces.

Additional neighborhood amenities include an off-leash dog park, pickleball and basketball courts, a playground, pocket parks and an expanding network of nature trails.

For families with young children, the splash park and playground provide nearby places to spend time outdoors. Walking trails and neighborhood parks offer opportunities for exercise, dog walks and casual conversations with neighbors, while the sports courts give residents additional ways to enjoy the community without traveling far from home.

These amenities are part of what distinguishes Crosswinds from a standalone residential subdivision. The development is planned to include not only houses but also spaces where residents can gather and spend time together.

What Schools Serve Crosswinds in Kyle?

Families researching homes for sale in Kyle will also want to consider the area's schools.

According to Century Communities, Crosswinds is zoned to Hays CISD, with the following schools identified for the neighborhood:

• Pfluger Elementary School

• Chapa Middle School

• Lehman High School

An additional Hays CISD elementary school is planned within the Crosswinds development, although the builder's announcement did not provide a construction timeline or anticipated opening date.

The planned campus could eventually provide another neighborhood school option as residential development continues. However, families should note that the future school has not yet opened, and school attendance boundaries may change over time.

Prospective buyers can confirm current school assignments and enrollment information directly with Hays CISD before purchasing a home.

Where Is Crosswinds Located? Access to Austin, Buda and San Marcos

Crosswinds is located at 231 Hull Speed Drive in Kyle, Texas, approximately 20 miles south of downtown Austin and 15 miles from San Marcos.

The community's proximity to Interstate 35 places it along a major transportation corridor connecting Austin, Buda, Kyle, San Marcos and other Central Texas communities.

Century Communities also highlights access to major South Austin-area employers, including Tesla, Amazon and Dell, as one of the neighborhood's location advantages.

For residents who work in Austin but prefer to live farther south, Kyle provides an alternative to purchasing a home closer to the city center. Actual commute times will depend on workplace location, traffic and travel schedules, particularly along Interstate 35.

The community's location may also interest buyers who regularly travel between Austin and San Marcos or have family, school and work commitments across Hays and Travis counties.

Century Communities Offers Online Homebuying for Texas Buyers

Century Communities is also promoting its online homebuying platform, which allows prospective purchasers to begin and complete several major steps of the purchase process digitally.

Through the company's website, buyers can browse available homes, select a property using the "Buy Now" feature, complete an online purchase form, electronically submit an initial earnest money deposit and sign a purchase contract through DocuSign.

The option may be particularly convenient for buyers relocating to Central Texas or those comparing properties while balancing work and family schedules.

Homebuyers can learn more about the process through the company's online homebuying website.

As with any new construction purchase, prospective buyers should review current pricing, available homesites, financing terms, homeowner association requirements and any applicable incentives before entering into a contract.

How to Tour New Homes at Crosswinds in Kyle

The October 28 grand opening included tours of the Everglade model home, light refreshments and promotional savings for prospective buyers.

Although the grand opening event has concluded, interested homebuyers can contact Century Communities for information about model home visits, available inventory, current pricing and purchasing opportunities.

What the Crosswinds Opening Means for Kyle's Continued Growth

As more households consider communities south of Austin, developments such as Crosswinds are contributing to the changing residential landscape of Kyle and the surrounding Hays County area.

The addition of Century Communities gives prospective buyers another set of floor plans and price points to consider within an established master-planned development. It also brings renewed attention to the amenities, school planning and transportation access that can influence where families choose to put down roots.

For longtime Kyle residents, continued homebuilding also raises familiar questions about how schools, roads, public services and neighborhood infrastructure will keep pace with additional households. The Crosswinds announcement does not establish how those broader needs will be addressed, but they remain important considerations as the community develops.

For buyers, the immediate takeaway is straightforward: six new home designs are now being offered at Crosswinds, with larger homesites, three-car garages and access to an established collection of neighborhood amenities.
