Windemere: Location in northern Travis County

Getting to know Windemere’s location

Windemere is a residential community in northern Travis County, east of Interstate Highway 35. It is about 13 miles northeast of downtown Austin and less than two miles from Pflugerville. Pflugerville is therefore the closer of the two nearby places mentioned; downtown Austin serves as a more distant reference point to help you get a sense of the area. For a metric comparison, about 13 miles is roughly 21 kilometers, while less than two miles is less than about 3.2 kilometers. The longer distance refers to downtown Austin, and the shorter one to Pflugerville. These figures give you a sense of the distances in kilometers and let you compare them with the reference points when planning your trip.

A historical reference point

Development of the residential community began in the 1980s.

A section of trail in Windermere Park

The western section of the Gilleland Creek Trail, which is 1.04 miles long, is in Windermere Park in Pflugerville. Note the different spellings: Windemere is the residential community, while Windermere Park is the park in Pflugerville. If you are considering an outdoor activity, this section provides a clear point of reference. Converted to metric units, 1.04 miles is about 1.67 kilometers. This gives you a way to gauge the trail section when planning a trip using metric units. Check current access information for Windermere Park in Pflugerville before visiting. When looking for hotels, compare the actual address of an accommodation with your chosen destination; the place names alone do not establish a short connection between the residential community and the park.

Music in the Park in Pflugerville

The annual outdoor concert series “Music in the Park” takes place at Pfluger Park in Pflugerville. Events are held on the third Friday of June, July, August, and September, from 8 to 10 p.m. The program includes live music and local food vendors. This is a different reason to visit than the trail section in Windermere Park: here, the focus is on scheduled evening dates and a concert program. If you would like to plan a trip around the series, check the event dates and program for the relevant season in advance, as both may change from season to season.
