Proposition A ($391.5 million) - Manor New Tech High expansion, a rebuilt Bluebonnet Trail Elementary, Manor High renovations, safety upgrades, and new buses

Downtown Manor - the historic center along Lexington Street, with small local businesses and older homes nearby
Shadowglen - a large master-planned community with a golf course
Lagos and Stonewater - newer subdivisions with recent construction and community amenities

Older in-town streets - smaller, established homes on larger lots

New-construction single-family homes - the most common choice, with modern floor plans and builder warranties. Our guide to new construction homes in Austin covers what to ask builders.
Starter homes and townhomes - popular with first-time buyers who want more space for the price than closer-in Austin offers
Larger lots and acreage - available on the edges of town for buyers who want room
