Im excited that they are developing the area. They will be putting in dedicated turn lanes which will help to reduce the time you have to wait at the light. I think it will be a good spot for local business to have great visibility and be very convenient for the rest of us!

This is so sad to see. More lights to drown out the night sky. another traffic light 50 ft from the existing one. The Lakeway Randalls is 7 miles away. HEB is 2 miles away. Why is this even being built?

I noticed yesterday that they have put an access point for work on 620, and have started clearing brush

If they are going to develop all this beautiful land in Steiner Ranch, which saddens me, well then we might as well have a grocery store. I needed something the other day during the evening rush hour that, unfortunately, the Market did not carry. It will sure beat sitting at the four points light to get to HEB during the busy times of day!

There was talk of a road connecting River Place and Steiner at one point, but that was shot down by residents of both communities. There was too much concern that people would cut through the neighborhoods to get to 2222 (which they would). If they ever did construct another outlet, we would be inundated with traffic from non-residents.

Bridges and access to other roads would be great! There was a rumor that the area on the other side of the lake is suppose to be preserved- However, the past 10 yrs I have seen those houses just creep more and more into that “preserved” area.
Fire issue- you have NO idea… there have been three houses in the past 4 yrs that have burnt down locally. The time it took for firemen to even start spraying water is appauling… Manchaca, yes Manchaca, fire trucks were here before the multiple local fire trucks could figure out what to do. Not trying to insult anyone- just retelling my personal witness account.

Reminder- this was exaclt a “rural pasture.” Hence barns and horses still here

As far as value of the homes, if I dare to even touch this one…. yeah I guess I’ll go there… My personal opinion is that there are so many variables to it to put any type of stereotype on even a block of houses. Each case/house has its own situation and factors that delegate the offers and closings and bids and values and… and… and… If you are including the barns/houses for sale as part of your “Steiner” assessments.. then yes- some are probably lower than the average Steiner market… but comparably to 6 yrs, or 10 yrs ago- they have increased generously.
I do have to say though… its interesing to see the McMansions next to the trailers…

Bridge to BC / 71 … absolutely. I can’t believe that the authorities allow such an obvious major wildfire hazard for anyone living south of Steiner Ranch Elementary. No way out and only the one fire station.

Can we still get a Federal grant ?

I like Randall’s coming in… We do most of our shopping in Randall’s or Wal-Mart. We tried HEB, but the place just looked too dirty.

Yea, the Market probably won’t survive, but that is the way of things… Randall’s has a great deli, with excellent sandwich shop, and they’ll probably have a Starbucks in there, so that will be nice…

Now, if we just had a bridge at the back of Steiner that would connect to the 2244, I wouldn’t have to spend 20 extra minutes driving the 620 just to get to the 71 in the morning… that’s the only real problem I have with Steiner is the entrance/exit…

BTW, Non-resident. EVERY house I spot-checked in those areas I mentioned are valued higher by TCAD now than they were in 2004. Just do a property search by street and start picking addresses to view. If you’re as familiar with Steiner as you say, you know what streets are in those areas.
