Multifamily housing and master-planned communities in San Marcos, Buda and Kyle are expanding. Residents will see the local housing market grow with active construction on mixed-use developments and move-in-ready communities.

Check out six multifamily and master-planned developments from across the cities.

San Marcos
Heritage at Cottonwood Creek: The multifamily community began accepting lease applications in early February and welcomed its first residents in April.

Strait & Nelson: The Woodfield Development property began moving residents into its 360-unit, 10-building complex in early April.

Buda
Persimmon: The master-planned community began its phase one development in 2025 and now has a number of move-in-ready floor plans available.

The Luxe of Buda: The Buda Economic Development Corporation’s featured city apartment complex offers 10-foot ceilings, wide plank flooring and crown moldings.

Kyle
Caroline at Marketplace: Construction on the $48.5 million multifamily development was set to begin this spring.

Kyle Park: The 101-acre mixed-use project broke ground Feb. 4 and will bring over 400 multifamily apartments to East Kyle.

Johnny C. Garcia and Maureen Galindo will appear on the ballot in the March Democratic primary runoff election for the U.S. House of Representatives District 35 seat.

Why it matters: In the March primary election, two other candidates appeared on the ballot for the District 35 seat: Whitney Masterson-Moyes and John Lira. Out of the four candidates, Galindo and Garcia received the most votes, securing 29.2% and 27.02%, respectively. Since no candidate received over 50% of the vote, the race is on the runoff ballot.

The winner in the May 26 primary runoff election will run against the winner of the Republican primary runoff in November to determine who will represent the district.

Zooming in: The U.S. House District 35 seat stretches from Austin to San Antonio, along the I-35 corridor, according to Ballotpedia. 

John Lujan and Carlos De La Cruz will appear on the ballot in the Republican primary runoff election for the U.S. House of Representatives District 35 seat, taking place on May 26.

In the March Republican primary election, the two candidates were on the ballot alongside Steven Wright, Josh Cortez, Larry La Rose, Ryan Krause, Rod Lingsch, Randy Adams, Vanessa Hicks-Callaway, Mark Eberwine and Jay Furman.

A closer look: Out of the 11 candidates, Lujan and De La Cruz received the most votes, securing 32.98% and 26.8%, respectively. Since no candidate received over 50% of the vote, the top two candidates are on the runoff ballot.

The winner of the May 26 Republican primary runoff will run against the winner of the Democratic primary runoff in November to determine who will represent the district.

Dozens of federal, state and local primary campaigns will come to a close May 26 as Texas voters cast ballots in the Republican and Democratic runoff elections.

How it works: Texas held its primary elections in March, with some races advancing to an overtime round, known as a runoff, after no single candidate picked up more than half of the vote.

On May 26, voters may see statewide offices, state legislative seats, redrawn congressional districts, the State Board of Education and county-level positions on their ballots. The winner of each runoff race will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot.

At the polls: Polling places across Texas will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. May 26. Voters in the following counties in Community Impact’s coverage areas can vote at any polling location within their county of residence: Bastrop, Bexar, Brazoria, Brazos, Collin, Comal, Fort Bend, Galveston, Guadalupe, Harris, Hays, Tarrant, Travis and Williamson.

Registered voters in other counties are required to visit a polling place specific to their voting precinct.
