Sunfield is a master-planned community in Buda, roughly 15 miles south of downtown Austin off I-35, known for its signature amenity: a 1,000-foot lazy river at the Lazy River Amenity Center, alongside a Junior Olympic pool, splash pads, dog parks, fishing ponds, and trail systems. Builders tracked here include David Weekley Homes, Centex, and DRB Homes. Students are zoned to Hays CISD. Sunfield is a MUD community, the Sunfield MUD levy has been reported around 0.90%, stacked on top of county, school, and other district rates, so the combined rate deserves careful verification for any specific section before writing an offer.
