The community amenities are functional and inventive. The library-adorned clubhouse has ample co-working space. A pickleball court headlines the outdoor amenities that also include a resort-style pool, outdoor grills, an outdoor pizza oven, a dog park and an expansive picnic area.
The community’s location is not only convenient to downtown but is less than two miles from Tesla’s Gigafactory. The Prado is close to a variety of dining options that include Radio Coffee, Veracruz Tacos, Pinthouse Pizza and more. Recreational opportunities abound with the Hornsby Bend Bird Observatory, Colorado River Park Wildlife Sanctuary, McKinney Falls State Park, Southern Walnut Creek Trail, Ladybird Lake and The Circuit of the Americas.
