Empire Communities, known for their housing projects in the Mueller area, has introduced two new home models and a series of floor plans, now available for public viewing in the Goodnight Ranch community in southeast Austin.

The details

In the first collection, future homes will range from 1,905 to 2,340 square feet. The three-story designs will feature three- and four-bedroom spaces. The concept places six houses along one shared driveway, forming a small “neighborhood niche,” according to a news release.

“Goodnight Ranch has residentially dense neighborhoods, and our [concept] aligns with this vision without giving up space,” said Terry Shuffler, a division president with Empire Communities, in a statement. “The three-story designs allow for ample room and are especially appealing to buyers who would rather enjoy Austin’s many amenities than spending time on yard work.”

Though yard work will be minimal, each living space includes one outdoor space per floor plan. Known as Modern Urban Homes, the homes will begin selling for $430,000.

In the second collection of plans, Empire Communities features three-story condominium units, ranging from 2,316 to 2,443 square feet. The condos will begin selling for $700,000 and include multiple outdoor spaces.

The last of the unveiled floor plans include single-family homes built on 30-foot lots, beginning at $450,000.

“These designs are perfect for multigenerational families, giving just enough privacy,” Shuffler said.

Goodnight Ranch, a master-planned community developed by Benchmark Development, has utilized concepts from new urbanism planning to develop a distinctly Austin-centric hub, according to the developer’s website. The mixed-use community will include single-family homes, shared spaces, parks, an amenity center, swimming pools and various recreational areas.

Its newest community, Goodnight Ranch, is located eight miles southeast from Downtown Austin and offers unique homes with both views of the city and green spaces. “We’ve built homes that make everyday life richer and more sustainable, with enviable designs where smart space planning and quality building meet,” said Division President Terry Shuffler. Within the Goodnight Ranch community, there are three different home designs: starting from the $400,000s:

• The Ramble: three-story condos with views of the Downtown Austin skyline
• Paseo Court: homes showcasing modern, open three-story floor plans
• The 30’ Collection: offering homeowners low maintenance living with two story designs and optional studio apartments over a detached garage

“The open-concept floor plans in the product offerings make for functional living no matter what your lifestyle,” Shuffler said.

Each home design has a unique style so individuals can find the right home to meet their needs and design preferences.

“Thoughtfully designed to allow for flexibility and personalization, each package within the collection offers a distinct style while providing homeowners with the opportunity to infuse their own preferences seamlessly,” Shuffler said. “This flexibility not only ensures a tailored living experience but also contributes to the efficiency of Empire’s building process.”

Buying a home can be daunting for individuals. To help future homeowners with the process, Empire Communities has model homes open at Goodnight Ranch.

“Prospective homeowners can walk through our model homes and witness firsthand how our home designs come to life and see how the interior selections transforms the space, creating a unique atmosphere in every room,” Shuffler said.

The Goodnight Ranch community offers residents a wealth of on-site amenities, including:

• a three-mile trail system
• a community pool
• four ponds
• parks, including Onion Creek Metro Park District, in District Trails
• a future town center
• community gathering spaces
• an amenity center

Goodnight Ranch is designed to be a place where individuals can find everything they need within the community.

“The community is proud to pioneer a new region of Austin, offering a place to live, work and play without having to commute,” Shuffler said.

The master-planned community still gives residents easy access to Downtown Austin and the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and has “a distinct Austin feel.”

Goodnight Ranch residents can get to know their neighbors while enjoying community amenities and by attending community events.

“The community is very active, hosting multiple events planned throughout the year by Benchmark Development and exclusive events held by Empire,” Shuffler said.

While there are many homebuilders in the Austin area, Shuffler said Empire Communities is unique because of its care for the craft.

“Empire Communities has established a tradition of creating prestigious, award-winning new homes and communities,” Shuffler said “For over 30 years, we’ve encouraged our homeowners to dream bigger and live better. As one of North America’s largest family-owned and operated builders, we are proud to bring homeownership to life for hundreds of families.”

Some people have a knack for design. Others? The thought of selecting tile that will be a permanent installation in their new home can be terrifying.

We have something meant to take away any anxiety you might have over selecting interior finishes — professionally curated packages available in select communities that give you thoughtful and cohesive choices for flooring, cabinets, backsplashes, paint, and more.

These decor packages are backed by extensive research into popular design and color trends — including what previous Empire buyers have selected for their own homes. Our professional interior decorators take these trends and present them in tasteful packages that will have your home looking like a model home. No more stress, no more second guessing — just a home that looks like it has been professionally decorated (because it has)!

You can see full side boards of the actual selections by visiting a model home in one of the participating communities. Each package will have four different groupings of flooring, cabinets, etc., allowing the buyer to choose which they prefer. The base package will be included in the price of the home and — depending on the community — will include selections such as high-end cabinets, wood-look tile flooring, and quartz countertops. These are often considered upgrades in similarly priced homes but will be included standard for our buyers.

The choices don’t end there, however. Buyers can further personalize their homes by opting to upgrade to other design collections that will have a higher level of options, including the opportunity to select hardware and lighting fixtures.

See the possibilities of having a professionally decorated home by visiting an Empire Communities model home in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. The design packages are just one way we make the home buying process easy.
