As a 13-year resident of Pflugerville, Texas (located immediately adjacent to north Austin), I have seen a lot of growth occur here over the years. I remember doing a real estate marketing piece in 1997, which was my first year in the business. That year, they had recently replaced the population sign for our town, which used to read 4,444. I believe this was for the 1990 census figures. As I recall, the population then was around 11,000, so I was happy to point to our growth as a sign of things to come.
In 2000, the population was around 16,500, and it has since increased by more than 100% since then, to over 35,400 this past year.
Projected growth shows Pflugerville doubling again over the next decade, and tripling in size by 2025.
Many people are not aware that the popular television show "Friday Night Lights" is filmed right here in town. Fictional Dillon, Texas is actually Pflugerville. In fact, they even use the same mascot name, the Panthers. The real life Panthers recently competed in the Texas State High School Championship game.
With the advent of two new toll roads that converge about 1.5 miles from my home, we are now able to get just about anywhere of interest for shopping within 10-15 minutes, and my commute time to my office in west Austin was cut from 40 to about 26 minutes.
Located at the intersection of the aforementioned toll roads (45 and 130), Stone Hill Town Center is slated to 
open within a few months, and it promises over 1,000,000 square feet of shopping and entertainment. Home Depot, Best Buy, Chili's, several retail clothing stores, a large theater, and a fitness center are among the anticipated tenants.
I am happy that we bought our home here five years ago, as prices are on the rise and the outlook is bright for Pflugerville real estate.

I LOVE Friday Night Lights - well at least I loved Season One. This year it's a bit too soapy for me. Hopefully they'll get back to the football soon!
In the meantime - we have another thing in common. The local high school where I coach tennis - we are The Panthers too!
By the way - cool post if I didn't already mention it.
It has definitely grown out there in Pflugerville... I didn't know Friday Night Lights was shot out there though. I closed one of the producers a few months ago.. She said she could get my daughters on for a 5 second scene... I haven't contacted her about that yet...Another good post.. I don't know how you keep coming up with stuff to post about.. :)
Jason... how many square miles is your town? That is some good growth. My town is only about 12,000 people and it's been like that for 3 years or so... In regards to Friday Night Lights, I like that show. How did they ever come up with your towns name? And history behind that? Thanks for the little tidbits...
Jason:
How is your day? Guess who changed their profile so they could take the number one spot in Williamson County and in Round Rock? That of course bumped me to 3 in Williamson and 2 in Round Rock. Oh Well what do you do. Have a blessed week.
Ahh that looks like one of the towns that is big enough now not to be considered a "small town" but still has the same feel. We have lots of places here in Montana like that and I absolutely love them! Not to mention I'm a huge fan of Friday Night Lights. It's such a great show; although it seems that they stop filming after the writer's strike... so I'm not sure if that is still filming or not...? For my sake I hope not ;)
Looks like a great place you guys have there! The growth rate is huge and I hope for your sake and the rest of the town it doesn't get too big where you start to lose that great community life. Thanks for sharing, Jason!
