Blackhawk

See Blackhawk on the map →

Pflugerville, TX 78660 — a mature master-planned community dating to the 1990s/2000s, split into several independently-managed sub-HOAs, where new construction today is concentrated in one newer infill section rather than a fresh master plan. Built from builder and HOA-management sites, county tax data, and Pflugerville ISD's own records — not a field visit yet.

What we can verify — and what we haven't
✅ Verified by us

Location and county split, the six currently-active Grove builders (confirmed on each builder's own site), Pflugerville ISD as the district, the semi-private Blackhawk Golf Club still operating, and that the community has no single master HOA.

🟡 Builder/developer claims, not independently confirmed

The Rowe Lane Development LTD developer attribution comes from one aggregator only. HOA fee figures for both the new and older sections come from secondary sources, not an HOA management company directly. The 2.6–2.66% tax-rate figures are from real-estate blogs, not a direct county appraisal-district pull.

Construction quality firsthand.

On the record — "new construction" here means one newer section, not the whole community

Blackhawk is a large, established name that's been selling homes since the 1990s or 2000s, and most of it is resale-only today. The genuinely new construction a buyer will find under the "Blackhawk" name is concentrated in The Grove at Blackhawk, a newer infill phase where the six builders above are actively selling. A search for "new homes in Blackhawk" can easily surface stale listings from long-closed sections (David Weekley's 2018 close-out, Saratoga's sold-out listing with a parked domain) alongside the real, current inventory — worth confirming which specific section any listing refers to before treating it as current.

Ask this on your visit: Confirm you're in The Grove at Blackhawk specifically, not an older section being resold as "Blackhawk." Ask which sub-HOA governs your lot and get its current fee directly — it varies widely by section.

Coverage

Blackhawk sits in Pflugerville, within New Home Dispatch's North Austin priority coverage area.

The bottom line

Advantage: six active builders in an established, amenity-rich community next to a public golf course, with mature landscaping and infrastructure that newer master plans won't have for years.

Limitation: "Blackhawk" spans multiple separately-governed sections with different HOA fees, and stale listings from long-closed sections still circulate on aggregators. Confirm you're looking at The Grove specifically, and get your section's actual HOA fee in writing.
