It might be hard to pronounce, but the city of Pflugerville (floo-ger-vil) is a well-known, well-loved Texan town. It’s just six or so miles south of Round Rock, home to Double Creek Assisted Living and Memory Care. Seniors living in Pflugerville appreciate the small-town charm and head out our way often.
Both locations offer advantages for seniors seeking comfortable living arrangements with access to healthcare, recreation, and community engagement. But if you’re researching Pflugerville senior apartment complexes, be aware that Round Rock has a larger population. That means more housing, recreation, and essential services. Still, both towns appeal to retirees and deserve your undivided attention.
If you’re unsure where these cities are located in the Lone Star State, take heart: We’ll answer that question first.
Where Are Pflugerville and Round Rock Located?
Perfectly poised 17 miles north of Austin in Travis County, Pflugerville has grown from a local farming community into a welcoming suburban town. With about 65,000 residents, Pflugerville maintains a small-town atmosphere and offers easy access to bigger cities.
Round Rock, its neighbor to the north in Williamson County, has about double that population, with 130,000 residents. Still, compared to a large city like Austin (population 989,250), Round Rock is the perfect size. Pflugerville and Round Rock enjoy the warm Texas climate and benefit from their proximity to our state’s capital, making them attractive retirement destinations.
Location? Check. Now, let’s see what these towns offer.
Pflugerville’s Best Asset: Small-Town Sensibility
Pflugerville residents benefit from a strong sense of community and attend local events like the Pflugerville Pfirecracker Festival that bring them together. There are over 40 parks, plenty of open space, and a lovely lake. Its small-scale economy means fewer shopping and entertainment opportunities, though.
Senior-Friendly Attractions and Activities
- Nature trails: Pflugerville’s 56 miles of outdoor trails offer different intensity levels; most residents have direct trail access within half a mile from their doorsteps.
- Lake Pflugerville: This popular spot offers kayaking, canoeing, picnicking, and fishing opportunities.
- Art in Public Places program: Find original artwork displayed throughout the city’s streets, parks, and facilities.
- Pfluger Park: This green oasis offers a pond with ducks, a rose garden, and tall shade trees.
- Restaurants: Top choices include Fogonero, Brotherton’s BBQ, and Taste of Ethiopia.
These attractions help seniors living in Pflugerville feel connected within their community.
Round Rock: Blending Urban and Suburban Amenities
Round Rock is the international headquarters of Dell, so it has a robust, diverse economy, with sectors like technology, healthcare, retail, and education. It also has a minor league baseball team (Round Rock Express) and an extensive park system. Seniors living here are also close to two well-respected medical organizations: Ascension Seton Williamson and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center.
Senior-Friendly Attractions and Activities
- Downtown Round Rock: The center of town has unique shops, appealing cafes, and special events like the Music on Main concert series.
- Round Rock Premium Outlets: Shopping and dining opportunities abound at this large, modern retail center.
- Brushy Creek Regional Trail: With many access points, this scenic, well-maintained trail is perfect for walking, biking, and bird watching.
- Old Settlers Park: Seniors come here for the picnic areas, walking trails, and fishing spots. Old Settlers Park is also a hub for baseball tournaments and other sporting events.
- Restaurants: Our residents have plenty of good things to say about Round Rock restaurants like La Cocina, Double Cut Steakhouse, and Deckhand Oyster Bar & Seafood.
For our residents and family members, Double Creek is Round Rock’s main attraction. They enjoy on-site features like a movie theater, a putting green, a hair salon, and an art room. We also offer scheduled transportation and a monthly activity calendar. The latter offers group activities like a residents’ choir, Cardio Drumming, Fit for You exercise classes, and game nights.
Double Creek Assisted Living and Memory Care: A Closer Look
Unlike typical Pflugerville senior apartment complexes, Double Creek Assisted Living and Memory Care has private, pet-friendly apartments and shared spaces where residents enjoy time together. In addition to the perks described above, we also have 24-hour caregivers, a restaurant-style dining room, and available on-site physical therapy.
Our team members provide personalized care plans, housekeeping and laundry services, a variety of clubs, and scheduled outings. Here, residents live hassle-free lifestyles and have more time to pursue their passions.
There’s another thing that distinguishes Double Creek from Pflugerville. Assisted living and memory care in our community is all about respecting and addressing the unique needs of older residents while encouraging their independence.
