About Onion Creek

Onion Creek is a South Austin community centered around the Onion Creek Club and golf course. The neighborhood offers spacious homes, excellent amenities, and a semi-rural feel while maintaining convenient access to Austin via I-35 and SH 45.

Onion Creek is a distinctive South Austin community built around the Onion Creek Club, a private club featuring a championship golf course, swimming pools, tennis courts, and a clubhouse. The neighborhood occupies a scenic setting along Onion Creek, a tree-lined waterway that winds through the area and provides a natural amenity unique among Austin neighborhoods. The golf course, designed by Jimmy Clay, has hosted the Legends of Golf tournament and provides an attractive backdrop for many homes in the community.

Homes in Onion Creek range from mid-range to upscale, with most built from the 1980s through the 2000s. Properties along the golf course and creek often command premium prices and offer views and a sense of space not found in more urban neighborhoods. Prices typically range from $350,000 to $600,000, though larger golf-course homes can exceed that. The community has a settled, established character with mature landscaping and a low turnover rate — a testament to resident satisfaction.

Onion Creek's location in far South Austin means slightly longer commute times to downtown (approximately 20 to 25 minutes via I-35), but the trade-off is a more spacious, private setting and access to a premier private club. The SH 45 toll road has improved east-west connectivity, and the Southpark Meadows shopping center provides major retail and dining options nearby. For golfers, country club enthusiasts, and families who prioritize space, privacy, and amenities over proximity to the urban core, Onion Creek offers a lifestyle that few Austin neighborhoods can match.
