Overview
Living in Manor
Manor sits about 12 miles east of Austin along US-290 and is one of the area's fastest-growing places to buy new construction. Founded in 1872 along the railroad, it still has a small historic downtown, now surrounded by master-planned communities like ShadowGlen, Whisper Valley, Presidential Meadows, and Manor Commons. Tesla's Giga Texas is about 10 miles away via SH-130.
