Goodnight Ranch at a glance
Named in honor of Texas pioneer Charles Goodnight, this one-of-a-kind community blends Austin’s independent spirit with modern, master-planned living. Just eight miles from downtown and minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, this Lone Star community was born from a rare partnership between the proud Austonian landowners of Goodnight Ranch and Benchmark Development.
But what truly sets Goodnight Ranch apart is its thoughtful, future-focused planning—rooted in affordability, sustainability, education, and civic infrastructure. Here, every detail has a purpose. With Texas’s first-of-its-kind Municipal Management Park District, on-site emergency services, top-rated schools, and walkable access to everyday essentials, the community is designed to support residents in every stage of life.
From scenic trails and pocket parks to future town centers and shared green spaces, Goodnight Ranch offers a fresh take on Austin charm—crafted for those ready to live differently. Empire welcomes you to Goodnight Ranch—where every street invites adventure, and every neighbor’s a friend in the making.

Homes That Feel Like Home
At Goodnight Ranch, you’ve got freedom to choose—and room to grow. From modern single-family homes on 30’ homesites to bold, three-story luxury residences, this community offers a range of designs tailored to fit how Austinites really live.
What you’ll also find here is true housing diversity—including duplexes, townhomes, apartments, condos, and innovative Missing Middle homes that create an inclusive, income-diverse neighborhood. As a proud participant in Austin’s SMART Housing Program since 2004, Goodnight Ranch has been committed to expanding affordability from the start.
Low quarterly HOA fees, energy-efficient community planning, and a walkable design that reduces daily transportation and childcare costs make these homes even more accessible. Open-concept floorplans keep things light and easy, oversized kitchens bring folks together, and patios give you space to stretch out when the stars come out. Inspired by Texas roots and made for real life, these homes are as comfortable as your favorite pair of boots—and just as ready to take you where you’re going.
Life Beyond the Porch
At Goodnight Ranch, the good life stretches far beyond your front door. A three-mile trail system loops through the community, linking neighbors to peaceful ponds, pocket parks, a sparkling pool, and even a future town center that’s set to become the community’s beating heart.
Unlike many master-planned communities, Goodnight Ranch’s parks aren’t just green spaces—they’re part of a pioneering model. The community features 120+ acres of public parks, trails, and preserved wildlife areas, supported by a perpetual funding model through its Municipal Management Park District, meaning long-term stewardship without costly upfront fees. More than 89 acres are already active, and residents enjoy direct access to the 550-acre Onion Creek Metropolitan Park, including plans for a future All Abilities Playground.
Whether you’re out for a morning jog, sailing a toy boat with the kids, or just walking the dog while swapping stories with a friend, every path leads to something—or someone—worth meeting. This isn’t a place built for scrolling—it’s built for strolling.
Living in South Austin
Goodnight Ranch puts you minutes from the best of Austin—no long commutes required. Spend the afternoon strolling South Congress, where vintage shops and murals lead to tacos that’ll change your life. Catch golden hour at the Capitol grounds, raise a glass at The Austin Winery, then settle in for a night of live music at the Continental Club.
But daily convenience doesn’t end there. The community is already served by three Cap Metro routes (800, 318, 333), with a Cap Metro Park & Ride arriving in 2026, making sustainable transit easier than ever. On-site healthcare, dental, behavioral health, veterinary services, and an Austin Fire & EMS station mean that essential services remain close to home.
When it’s time to leave town, the airport is right nearby and when you’re craving quiet, McKinney Falls’ limestone trails are just down the road. Goodnight Ranch is close to the action, but far enough to feel like home.
