CEDAR PARK, TEXAS

Cedar Park is a city in Travis and Williamson Counties in the U.S. state of Texas. From a population of 5,161 in 1990, Cedar Park grew to a population of 26,049 at the 2000 census. As of 2008, the population is estimated to be around 52,721, making it the seventh-fastest growing city in the United States. The city is considered to be a suburb of Austin. The center of Austin is approximately 16 miles to the southeast, although Austin directly borders Cedar Park at the latter's southern extent.

Cedar Park’s popularity as a place to live, work and raise families comes as no surprise to the citizens who helped the town grow. Located only 17 miles from the heart of downtown Austin, the State Capitol and home of The University of Texas, Cedar Park offers all the amenities of a major metropolitan area but far enough away to offer the relaxed life style that is in keeping with a family oriented community.
