A Master-Planned Community Taking Shape in Buda, TX
Located just minutes from downtown Buda, Persimmon represents a significant addition to Central Texas’s growing residential landscape. APR is pleased to be part of this amazing new community by Milestone Community Builders.
This 755-acre master-planned community is designed to accommodate over 2,000 homesites while preserving 160 acres for trails and green space—a thoughtful balance between development density and environmental stewardship.
Persimmon’s development strategy emphasizes variety and flexibility in housing options. The community features homes starting at approximately 1,750 square feet, with pricing beginning in the high $400Ks. This positioning addresses the growing demand for accessible housing in the Austin market while maintaining quality construction standards.
The floor plan selection includes both one and two-story options, with eight designs specifically incorporating multi-generational living spaces featuring second master suites on the ground floor. This design consideration reflects broader demographic trends toward multi-generational households and aging-in-place preferences.
According to Sales Counselor Trisha Thacker, “The early response to our floor plan lineup has been extremely positive. Every plan we are offering was designed specifically for Persimmon. Because our location has such broad appeal, we get interest from many different buyer profiles. With 15 floor plans, including several multi-generational plans and a wide range of single stories, we have something that appeals to every one of them while staying unique to Persimmon.”
Lot configurations offer three distinct sizes—at 50′, 55′, and 65′ widths—with select lots backing to preserved greenbelts. This variety allows for different price points while providing options for buyers seeking additional privacy or natural settings.

The successful execution of a project of Persimmon’s scale requires coordination among multiple professional disciplines. Milestone Community Builders has partnered with experienced firms like Architectural Plan Review to manage the complex planning and approval processes inherent in large-scale development.
“APR accommodates our needs very quickly and efficiently. They’re an integral partner on a project with the scale of Persimmon. We’re excited to be working with them again,” notes Steve Walkup, VP of Land Development at Milestone Communities.

Persimmon’s development reflects several key trends in contemporary master-planned communities: the integration of preserved natural areas, diverse housing options to serve multiple market segments, and amenities designed for active lifestyles across age groups.
The planned amenity center will anchor the community’s recreational offerings, featuring pools, playgrounds, pickleball courts, and a gym/clubhouse facility. These amenities are strategically designed to serve diverse age groups and activity preferences, supporting the community’s multi-generational appeal.
An extensive trail system will connect various neighborhoods within Persimmon, providing safe pedestrian and cycling routes while preserving natural corridors throughout the development. This infrastructure supports both recreation and transportation, encouraging walkability within the community.
Phase 1 of Persimmon is currently accepting sales, with pre-construction pricing available. Construction of the first homes is scheduled to begin in late June, with initial home deliveries expected in Q4 2025. This timeline reflects current market conditions and construction capacity in the region.
The community’s location off Highway 967, east of The Coves of Cimmaron, positions it within Buda’s expanding residential corridor while maintaining convenient access to regional transportation networks.
