Sunset Canyon
For families looking to settle in Dripping Springs, the Sunset Canyon neighborhood in the 78620 zip code offers a rare mix of space, privacy, and long-standing community roots. One of the earlier residential developments in the area, Sunset Canyon has played a quiet but steady role in the town’s evolution, from a rural Hill Country outpost to one of Central Texas' most sought-after places to live.
Developed in phases starting in the 1980s, Sunset Canyon was built with a focus on large lots, natural surroundings, and a sense of independence. Many of the homes sit on one- to two-acre properties, a feature that continues to appeal to families who want room to grow without sacrificing proximity to Dripping Springs’ top-rated schools, parks, and local businesses. Unlike newer master-planned communities, Sunset Canyon has a more organic, established feel, neighbors tend to stick around, and there’s a sense of quiet pride in the way the community has aged.
For those interested in a home that offers more than just curb appeal, something with history, space, and a little more breathing room, Sunset Canyon stands out as a meaningful option in the 78620 landscape.

WHY DO FAMILIES LOVE SUNSET CANYON?
Spacious Homes on Acreage Lots
One of the standout features of Sunset Canyon is the generous lot sizes that give families room to truly spread out. Many homes sit on one- to two-acre lots, offering space for gardens, pools, playscapes, or even detached workshops and guest houses. This added privacy and flexibility is a huge draw for families who want the peacefulness of Hill Country living without sacrificing convenience. The mature trees, scenic views, and wide setbacks give the neighborhood a rural feel, yet it’s just minutes from central Dripping Springs.
Access to Highly Rated Dripping Springs ISD Schools
Families in Sunset Canyon benefit from being zoned to some of the top public schools in Central Texas, including Dripping Springs Elementary, Dripping Springs Middle School, and Dripping Springs High School. These schools are known for their academic rigor, strong parent-teacher involvement, and a wide variety of extracurricular activities. The neighborhood's location allows for easy access to school campuses without the congestion of larger subdivisions, which makes daily routines smoother and less stressful for parents and students alike.
No HOA and Room for Customization
Unlike many newer neighborhoods, Sunset Canyon does not have a homeowners association (HOA), which is a major benefit for families looking for more freedom to personalize their property. Whether it’s adding a backyard basketball court, installing solar panels, or keeping recreational vehicles onsite, homeowners here enjoy more autonomy than in communities with stricter deed restrictions. This flexibility allows families to create a home that truly fits their lifestyle, without needing to ask permission first.
Convenient Location Near Dripping Springs Amenities
While Sunset Canyon feels tucked away in the hills, it’s surprisingly close to everything a family might need. Located just off Highway 290, the neighborhood is minutes from H-E-B, local restaurants, coffee shops, and family favorites like Founders Memorial Park and the YMCA. It also offers a relatively easy commute into Austin for parents who work in the city. This ideal balance between country quiet and city convenience makes Sunset Canyon a top choice for families who want the best of both worlds.

Justin assisted us in identifying and purchasing two properties, and we highly recommend working with him. Justin made the process seamless due to his real estate knowledge and experience, communication style, and overall responsiveness. We were out of town during the purchase process, and Justin was in front of every detail. He's relatable, kind, and genuine... the best.
Brittany Sorley
Justin and his team were incredible! They were patient in our search for the perfect home. He was very honest, and informative with each showing and never turned down an opportunity for us to look at a home once or sometimes twice! He found the answers to all of questions about properties and continuously checked in during the process. We cannot recommend Justin and his team enough!
