Elm Creek North is located on the north side of Hwy 290 between Manor and Elgin and comprises 205 acres of land available for residential development, adjacent to 72 acres set aside for retail/commercial development).  Although the land is located in Travis County, it is in the ETJ of Elgin and the Elgin Independent School District.  A development agreement with Elgin grants development authority to Travis County.

At Elm Creek South, across Hwy 290 on the south side, Centex Homes is building out a residential subdivision of 670 homes and amenities. In the Fall of 2008, approximately 65-70% of this subdivision was complete.

All of the Elm Creek development on both sides of Hwy 290 is part of the Travis County Municipal Utility District No. 14. Through the MUD, water is provided by a wholesale water agreement with Aqua Water Company and sewer treatment is provided by a wholesale agreement with LCRA, owner of the Elgin sewer system. As a consequence, the water and sewer tap fees are minimal and payable only to the MUD. Through the bonding capacity of the MUD, developer reimbursements are available for the internal development costs of water, sewer and drainage.
