Over by the new Mazda dealership, everything is shut down. Saw some kid on my way out from Home Depot 16/17 years old crying with a sheriff deputy and then saw a body bag on the road.
I have lived here nearly all my life. Over the years, i have accumulated all I need to stay pretty comfortable during outages. Since there are so many people new to the area, I thought I would share. All these are USB chargeable and you can find them all on amazon or walmart online.
Portable a/c - the kind that you add ice to, you can't charge it but it has a USB connector (to connect to a power bank).
Rechargeable desk fans, I found some cute 6 inch tall oscillator fans that work great!
A tablet full of downloaded movies and shows.
A stack of 20,000mAh power banks, keep everything charged. They work for your phones, tablets, fans and the little a/c. 40,000mAh are even better but expensive.
Convenient snacks.
Several ice packs (like for sore muscles) in the freezer in case you need them.
Optional: percale sheets tend to stay cooler than regular material. So do cooling blankets. Drape them over furniture to sit or lie on to help stay cool.
Adjust the number of each item you need according to the number of people you have.
I hope this helps. Stay cool!
We went to the fireworks show. It was a continuous fireworks show! Much more than I anticipated!
With 250 landing on a Saturday rather than the 3rd (being a work day)..... why in the world didn't Leander think to hold celebrations actually on the 4th of July!?!?!?
Is there anywhere to park and see the fireworks well that is not at the actual festival grounds?
Since moving to Leander I have found that gardening has been really easy. Wondering if other Leanderthals would be interested in backyard or community garden consultations? My entire backyard and front yard has been producing so much produce I get about 20lbs of different fruits and veg a day. It’s just a hobby for me and I have a regular house with a regular backyard but I feel bad that so many people are struggling with food prices when for me I have an abundance. Is anyone even wanting that type of consultation? I only have weekends available when it comes to free time so that’s the only time I can go out and look and consult.
Hi all! My name is Hamera and I cover Leander City Council for Community Impact.
I just wanted to provide a quick update on Leander Springs, a proposed 77.9-acre mixed-use development anchored by a 4-acre lagoon. The project just received its first approval to amend its planned unit development, which includes reducing planned apartments to 1,200 (down from the original 1,600) and classifying the lagoon as "non-essential."
Since Leander's P&Z Commission voted 5-1 in favor, the item is headed to Leander City Council. Posted city agendas indicate that there will be a public hearing on the item Thursday, July 2.
Looking for recommendations for places to get sugaring done as an alternative to waxing. If anyone has experience with places they recommend in or around Leander, let me know!
Hello Leander!
I’m a friend to a seasoned farmers market manager who’s looking for a location for a Sunday farmers market. Anyone have any ideas?
Would need a parking lot large enough for 30+ vendors, potentially electricity hookups. Would likely be need the space from around 7:30 am until 2:00 pm.
I’m/we are nice, and looking to build a relationship, not just transact around a space.
Help, Leandethals! And thanks in advance.
Hello everyone!! I need some help it’s my first time going out and looking for a place to rent!
I have some really dumb questions but hoping for some answers nonetheless
Can a realtor help me find a place at rent around here in Leander ? If so could I get some trustworthy recommendations
Or
Does anyone really know how to start this process? I’ve tried and reached out to handfuls upon handfuls of people in Leander and just get nothing back
Thank you so much for the feedback ahead of time
(Just to be clear I am not selling, renting or trying to give anything away I just need help please don’t flag this Reddit😭)
Hi everyone! I’m a relatively new driver in Leander (learned as an adult and still learning the “unwritten rules” of driving here.
I want to get better, so I’d love to learn from your experience:
What driving etiquette do you wish more people followed around Leander / Austin?
What are the most common illegal or risky things you see drivers do here? Especially things that new drivers might not realize are unsafe or against the rules
I’m trying to build good habits early, so even small tips would help a lot. Thanks in advance!
It's the 4th Thursday and we're handing out free groceries again in the parking lot at 2001 West New Hope Dr, Cedar Park, 78613. Come between 5-7pm and you can get free, fresh groceries with no income verification. There will also be info if you need more substantial help.
If you'd like to help volunteer, we need folks to help set up at 4:30pm, man the tables from 5-7pm, and a group to help break down at 7:30pm. No signup needed to volunteer, just come on out and let our team know you are here to help!
Has anyone been there recently? I’m curious about its progress. It’s expected to be completed by May 2026.

Just moved here and looking for a new dentist. Woman preferred but just looking for the best option
I gave birth to my first baby at St. David’s Medical Center (Domain), and I had a wonderful experience with their services.
I’m expecting again, but we recently moved to Leander, and I feel the commute to Domain would be too far in case of an emergency.
I would love to hear recommendations for a great OB-GYN and a hospital/facility that you’ve had a positive experience with in the last couple of years, especially for pregnancy and delivery.
I had heard great things about Dr. Sabrina Collins, but I was told she is no longer taking new pregnancy patients.
Would really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you!
I'm considering -
Anyone know of locations for Texas peaches during the week? I can do the farmers markets on the weekend. But I don’t want to wait lol
