This 11.079-acre tract on Scott Street in Kyle, TX offers a flexible development opportunity in one of the fastest-growing areas of Hays County. Utilities are available to the site, and the property is positioned to directly benefit from the planned FM 150 expansion and realignment, which will enhance access, visibility, and long-term corridor strength.
The property is zoned legacy R-1. Unlike Kyle’s newer single-family districts, this designation allows a 5,000 square foot minimum lot size, making it one of the more favorable detached residential density classifications currently in place. Current zoning code notes that R-1 is limited to existing lots under prior ordinance, meaning this designation is no longer broadly applied and may represent a limited-supply zoning category within the city.
For residential developers, the 5,000 SF minimum lot size provides density comparable to or greater than Kyle’s newer single-family districts, which require larger minimum lots. Additional density could be explored through attached product types or a Planned Unit Development (PUD), subject to city approval.
For commercial or mixed-use investors, the site’s location along Scott Street and its proximity to West Center Street and I-35 position it well for rezoning consideration. The planned FM 150 expansion toward the property is expected to strengthen the corridor, increasing traffic flow and accessibility. Nearby residential growth, including established and developing subdivisions, supports neighborhood-serving retail, office, medical, or service uses.
The size of the tract allows flexibility in layout and phasing. With utilities already extended to the site, infrastructure barriers are reduced relative to raw land. The combination of scale, utility access, legacy zoning advantages, and corridor improvements creates multiple paths forward depending on buyer strategy.
Kyle continues to experience strong population growth driven by expansion from the Austin metro. Infrastructure investments, including roadway improvements such as FM 150, are reinforcing the city’s transition into a more connected and commercially active submarket.
This site offers optionality: develop under valuable legacy R-1 standards, pursue higher-density residential through alternative zoning, or seek commercial/mixed-use entitlement aligned with corridor growth.
