4th of July in Milwood/Rattan Creek

When we first moved to the area over 20 years ago, it was legal to set off fireworks. Being in a MUD (municipal utility district) put us outside the city limits and inside Williamson County. There was a lot of open and undeveloped areas we would go to with neighbors for a 4th of July celebration.

The neighborhood has been built out for many years and just a few years ago an ordinance was passed prohibiting fireworks in our neighborhood. In recent years, the HOA has set off fireworks at the park with the fire department present but given our current drought conditions, that will not happen this year.

NO FIREWORKS ARE ALLOWED on MUD property including parks, tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer fields, parking lots or greenbelts.

4th of July Parade and Pool Fun

On Monday, the 4th, there will be a parade and your participation is invited - pets too! All pets must be on leases or in cages and prizes will be given for best dressed pet, owner/pet look alike and strangest pet. Meet at Rattan Creek Park at 9am. Refreshments available.

Pool Activity

At 11 am on the 4th, the pool will open to all - no tags required but occupancy limited. Remember suncreen.

At noon free hot dogs and hamburgers will be rovide by RNCA will supplies last.

Have a fun and safe holiday!

My Favorite Christmas Lights - Milwood

There is a house in my neighborhood, Milwood, that has decorated their huge Live Oak trees by wrapping them with multicolored lights for about 20 years. The lights look like gumdrops!It's on a main street and it's my favorite Christmas light display. I tried to capture the image on camera but I'm not sure this does it justice. If you recognize these trees, you probably live in my neighborhood.

Milwood Holidays

The Milwood Rattan Creek Neighborhood is organized.

Sunday, December 19th at 6PM there will be caroling in the Rattan Creek Park. Songbooks will be available but bring a flashlight so you can see them. Santa is scheduled to arrive in a firetruck around 6:30 and will visit for about an hour. In case of rain, go to the community center in the park for the fun and festivities.

Curbside X-mas tree pick up will be December 27 - mid-January on your normal trash pickup day. Be sure the trees are cut in 4 foot lengths and bundled for the trash collector.

Remember - NO FIREWORKS! Older residents may remember we were once allowed to shoot off fireworks in the area, but a few years ago Williamson County passed an ordinance against it. That includes no fireworks at your home, either Rattan Creek Park or Robinson Park, the greenbelts or the soccer fields.

Have a happy and safe holiday!

Milwood Subdivision Information

Writing about the Milwood area is of special interest to me because I have lived in Milwood since 1990. I've seen it grow and develop into a wonderful place to live with trees, parks, amenities and friendly neighbors. The Milwood neighborhood was developed by Bill Milburn and stretches a long distance along North Parmer Lane. It is divided east/west by McNeil Rd which also divides it into two different zip codes (78727 and 78729) with some of the area in the City of Austin and some of the area in a municipal utility district (MUD) plus some of it is in Travis county and some in Williamson.
The area south of McNeil in 78727 has a neighborhood association with a wonderful Web site and the MUD also has a site for additional and updated information about the areas.

And, I want to be your REALTOR®! If there is any information you would like regarding relocating to the Austin area, let me know. You can contact me at robin@robinscottrealtor.com, 512.589.7988 or just comment on this blog entry.
