Cedar Park
We’ll bet our boots, as they say in the Lone Star State, that you’ve never heard of Cedar Park. This suburb is just far enough from Downtown Austin to fly under the tourist radar.
Many an executive of nearby tech companies, such as Dell and Samsung, calls Cedar Park home. The area’s Twin Creeks community has a lavish private country club with golf course. Cedar Park’s massive centuries-old oak tree on Quest Parkway is decorated with lights each December, adding a touch of magic. The H-E-B Center is home to the Texas Stars and Austin Spurs.
