Steiner Ranch is a planned community and census-designated place (CDP) in Travis County, Texas, United States. It was first listed as a CDP in the 2020 census.[2]
It is in the west-central part of the county, occupying 4,600 acres (1,900 ha) on a ridge running within a large bend on the north side of the Colorado River between Lake Travis and Lake Austin.[3] The community is surrounded by the city limits of Austin, the state capital, and is 18 miles (29 km) by road northwest of downtown.
Real estate developer Al Hughes initially purchased the land for development in the late 1980s from the Steiner family.[4] The neighborhood grew throughout the 1990s and, as of 2017, had a population of around 15,000.[5] It currently contains three elementary schools, one middle school and a variety of community parks, recreation centers and trails.[5]
