Goodnight Ranch

Discover the vibrant Goodnight Ranch in Austin, brought to life by Empire Communities, where you can enjoy a plethora of amenities including a park, lake, playground, swimming pool, and convenient parking!

Named in honor of Texas pioneer Charles Goodnight, this one-of-a-kind community blends Austin’s independent spirit with modern, master-planned living. Just eight miles from downtown and minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, this Lone Star community was born from a rare partnership between the proud Austonian landowners of Goodnight Ranch and Benchmark Development.

With Texas’s first-of-its-kind Municipal Management Park District, on-site emergency services, top-rated schools, and walkable access to everyday essentials, the community is designed to support residents in every stage of life.

From scenic trails and pocket parks to future town centers and shared green spaces, Goodnight Ranch offers a fresh take on Austin charm—crafted for those ready to live differently.
