Community Profile

Summary

Whitewater Springs was developed in 1998 in the Texas Hill Country northwest of Austin. It is surrounded by the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge and several large ranches. The terrain of the community is hilly with deep ravines. There is a spring-fed, 14-acre lake, a running creek and several smaller creeks and “wet weather” creeks. Our community has excellent Golden-cheeked Warbler habitat and the warblers return here to nest every spring. A cave in the community is home to a large bat colony. Only 163 homes in the community have been built so far and the residents who are members of the Community Wildlife Habitat team would like to educate incoming residents about preserving the abundant wildlife and native plants in the community.
