When I first moved here in 99 Leander was the boonies and the only time I would visit would be for Mexican food or to play golf at Chrystal Falls.
Leaping up to 2021 Leander is exploding. Cattle ranches are now developments see Chrystal Falls with million-dollar homes. Back in the day, there might have been 2 or 3 decent restaurants in Leander. Now there is a few good Pizza joints, a good Italian restaurant, Moutons is still good, and Leander Beer Market has great food and excellent rotating taps. Sky Asian, Guaco Taco, Brooklyns round out my go tos. Can't leave off Sharks Burgers, Leanderthal Distillery, Farm to Fork, and Humble Pint brewery (great pizza and brews.
There are others and you can do a Yelp search to discover other gems.
Here is what sux about Leander. With the rapid growth, most homes don't even make it to the MLS before selling. The infrastructure has proven it can't support the growth and the knuckleheads in the town Gov still think that Leander is a quiet little town. Development after development is green-lighted. We have water issues so let's approved a project with a multi-acre lagoon!
The snow/ice apocalypse proves my point. Why even plan to have a backup generator for our water supply? Yea, yea we may not see another snow ice event like this recent one for another decade. But, generators can breakdown or take a lightning strike. The result no water for days.
Bottom line Leander is OK but the town Gov needs to wake the eff up! read more
