Dive into Peninsula at Plum Creek! Located in Kyle, Texas, Peninsula at Plum Creek is a gated section of the 2,200-acre Plum Creek master planned community. Conveniently located only 30 minutes away from downtown Austin, Peninsula at Plum Creek allows residents to be on the outskirts of a large city while still being part of a growing urban community. With affordable housing and a bustling community, it’s no wonder Plum Creek has grown so much since its 1997 inception. Check out the exciting community that awaits you at Peninsula now! 

Builders

Two builders offer residents a combined total of 18 floorplans. With low costs and plenty of customization opportunities, there’s a design for everyone. Read more about the builders and their selection of houses below.

Empire Communities purchased locally owned Centerra Homes in 2018, adopting Centerra Homes into its long history of excellence. Since its creation in 1993, Empire has built over 20,000 houses in Texas, with another 10,000 already in the works. Empire emphasizes sustainable, innovative designs, “where smart space planning and quality building meet.” Interested homeowners can choose between 12 different floor plans, which start in the $200s. Take a look at the Reilly plan, a 3-bedroom house with an optional fireplace that’s laid out perfectly for entertaining guests!

Since 1976, M/I Homes has based its business practice on its cofounder’s motto of “always remember to treat our customers right.” With a dedication to energy efficient homes and creating communities, M/I Homes has worked closely with its valued customers to build over 100,000 homes across the country. M/I Homes offers 6 floor plans in Peninsula at Plum Creek, each with three different elevation designs, starting in the $200s.
