The Drew Lane Dream: Where Vintage Charm Meets the Modern Austin Lifestyle

Austin used to be a place where people lived on walkable, tree-lined streets in character-filled homes. These homes were close enough to the city to enjoy its best amenities—like well-planned parks, live music, and great food. However, rising prices and urban sprawl changed the landscape. Homebuyers began settling for "cookie-cutter" houses built far away from the vibrant city center they loved.
But now, Ash Creek Homes is bringing back the days of charming, affordable homes close to the action. Welcome to Drew Lane, a boutique community tucked away in the heart of South Austin’s 78748 zip code.

Architecture with a Soul: The Modern Craftsman
The architecture at Drew Lane draws inspiration from the classic Craftsman-style Sears Roebuck homes of the early 20th century. These aren't your typical new builds. They feature artisan details such as cased windows, wood-beamed ceilings, covered porches, and vibrant, colorful exteriors.
In addition to these unique architectural touches, every home allows for interior personalization at the Ash Creek Homes Design Center. Here, buyers can hand-select everything from paint colors and cabinet finishes to flooring, tile, and countertops to make the space truly theirs.
The Good Life: Homes that Offer You More
Life is not only beautiful at Drew Lane—it’s also easier. We’ve designed this community for those who want to spend their time living, not working on their yards. The low monthly HOA fees provide full lawn and landscape care for your front yard, backyard, and even your flower beds. This "lock-and-leave" lifestyle frees you up to enjoy your days off at local parks and restaurants or take a quick trip to the Hill Country or beyond via the nearby Austin-Bergstrom Airport.
Drew Lane homeowners also enjoy the freedom to work from home. Several of our floor plans feature versatile loft areas where optional built-in desks make remote work a breeze. With the power of Google Fiber internet, everyone in the house can stream, game, or download without a hitch.
A Neighborhood Built for Connection
As a boutique community with only twenty-eight homes, Drew Lane is a tree-filled retreat that remains perfectly “plugged in” to the city. South Austin staples like Armadillo Den and The Hive are within walking distance, making it easy to grab a drink or a coffee with friends. Plus, homeowners with furry friends will love the private community dog park—the perfect spot for pups to run and neighbors to connect.
Your Place in the Drew Lane Dream
It's becoming increasingly rare to find a detached, single-family home in the $300s this close to the city. That is exactly what makes Drew Lane so special. It’s a chance to own a piece of South Austin without the heavy lifting of an older fixer-upper or the soul-crushing commute of the suburbs.
“Home" doesn’t have to be a never-ending list of chores and yard work. At Drew Lane, home is where you begin the Austin life you’ve always wanted. Whether you’re relaxing under the oaks or heading out to a local show, the dream of Drew Lane is ready for you.
