Leander vs Pflugerville for investing (Texas)
An early 2000s house is about 260k now in Leander area while you can get a brand new house in East parmer/ dasseau (Pflugerville) for 290k
Which one would appreciate more? Leander has all the growth around cedarpark while east parmer has Austin fc and other things coming up there
schools are currently way better in Leander

As with so many investment questions - it depends. It will take longer to see appreciation on the newer home; builders are still building and holding the prices down. Rent rates can vary from neighborhood to neighborhood and school to school. Just because the ISD is rated higher, not every school is rated highly. Returns will vary based on HOA and tax rates as well. And there are neighborhoods in Leander that rent very well where you can get a new home for $260s. All three areas are excellent, I would choose based on numbers for each specific house.
