Leander Economic Development Corporation

Leander lies on the northeast edge of Texas’ Hill Country, roughly ten miles due west of Interstate 35 on US 183, just north of Austin TX. Since 2000, the community has grown from 7,600 residents to more than 63,000 in 2019. This makes Leander the 37th fastest growing City in the United States (US Census Bureau, 2000). The City is known for its quality of life, excellent schools, hometown pride, and one of the lowest crime rates in the state. Affordability and quality schools have been the historical drivers for the community’s growth. Single-family residential homes run the gamut from first-time to executive styled living. The Leander Independent School District’s (LISD) 37 campuses provide a varied curriculum. This gives more than 30,000 students a great start to their future.
