Travisso - Master Planned Community — Local services in Leander

I am not a proponent of big development like Travisso, but for my own reasons. "Cedar trees have a huge root system that prevents flooding"??? Please elaborate and provide evidence of this. It is my experience that "Cedar" trees (Mountain Juniper) cause erosion due to the fact that the acidity of their needles kills all ground cover beneath their canopy... They also have very shallow root systems and therefor cheat other beneficial trees, like live oaks of water. I have owned 4.5 acres near Travisso for over 20 years and have removed almost all Mountain Junipers. Some of the existing live oaks have doubled in size in that time.

But buyers beware... **The only problem is a lack of supply of houses, there’s been so much demand in the Austin area for housing and apartments that it’s hard to find a house out here anymore. All the houses on Realtor.com and Zillow.com are either small and pricey or pending. It’s been a total joke looking at the model homes and having them be so cheap but then there’s a waitlist they don’t tell you about that has 300+ people and growing. For a silent auction are you...
