During the Texas Revolution, around the year 1812, Santiago Del Valle made his way to central Texas and settled with his family on a large piece of land granted to him by the Mexican government in the area now known as Del Valle. Del Valle is 7 miles southeast of Austin and the community is currently unincorporated.
The community is near the Austin Bergstrom International Airport, and is situated near the intersection of U.S. Highway 183 and Highway 71, on which Del Valle is actually located. Del Valle is also very near the communities of Lockhart to the south and Bastrop to the east, and the terrain is gently rolling farmland with plenty of shade trees as well as rivers and creeks.
Del Valle has its own school district, the Del Valle Independent School District, a small post office, and a few other businesses, including restaurants and hotels and motels, which are numerous due to the town's proximity to the new airport as well as nearby state parks and other tourist attractions.
Del Valle also boasts many sports related activities and events, and there is a local golf course as well as a baseball complex, among other facilities. With its rural atmosphere, many local residents enjoy the outdoors, for sporting events or even eating outside and picnicking in the many local parks and greenbelts.
Del Valle is considered a growing community, and there are many inexpensive homes available, most with plenty of acreage to raise a family, livestock or pets, or even grow your own fruits and vegetables, since the town is on the southeastern side of Travis County which has good soil and lots of water.
Currently, there are many available homes in the $100,000 range in the community, and most have all the modern amenities, as well as access to U.S. 183 and 71, which makes travel to Austin, San Antonio, and even south Texas very convenient and speedy. There are also many mobile homes parks and empty lots with green grass as far as you can see on which one can build a home and eventually settle into the sunset years.
Some of the local eateries around Del Valle include a Thai restaurant called Little Thailand, a barbecue spot called Elroy Sausage Company, and an old-timey saloon called Water Hole Saloon. All offer above average food and refreshing beverages, according to visitors to the Del Valle area.
A local church that hosts many events is the Methodist Church, called Haynie Chapel United Methodist Church, and the church promotes the spiritual life as well as actively promoting social events and get-togethers for residents and their guests, with regular prayer meetings, worship services, and study groups.
Del Valle is the location of the Travis County Correctional Complex, which is a large, local employer of correctional officers, social workers, medical staff, and many other professionals, as well as the home of a youth program, a military-style boot camp, and many other facilities intended to teach and encourage healthy living and life skills for the young, old, and in between.
Del Valle is a promising location for those who want to see the stars at night without the distraction of city lights, and hear the birds chirp and the roosters crow. The lifestyle is laid-back and the cost of living is inexpensive, so consider the Del Valle area when visiting the southeastern part of Travis County, and you'll be glad you did! |
