Why Manor? Why Not?
Manor is a growing community on the outskirts of Austin, Texas that is known worldwide for it’s innovative philosophies. In addition:
Prior to 2000, Manor had a long history of slow growth tempered by periods of minor increases and decreases in activity and population.Census data from 2000 documented City of Manor population at 1,204. In December of 2006, the Texas state demographer estimated Manor’s population at 5,468.
The area continues to enjoy enormous growth with an influx of new businesses and residents alike. Long-term planning for local schools continues to stay ahead of population growth with four elementeries, two junior high schools, and new tech high school all constructed in the last several year; and more schools planned for the future.
Highway 290 East remains a major east-west transportation artery with the portion of roadway through Manor recently renamed The Manor Expressway. Toll road 130 slightly to the west of the city limits, intersects Highway 290 East bridging Manor with quick access to Round Rock to the north and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to the south.
While new residents and subdivisions support community growth, the town recognizes its heritage through traditions such as a Farmer’s Market and Friday Fish Frys at the Lion’s Club.
