r/Leander

I'm someone who's learnt basic swimming techniques years ago and I'm more out of touch with it than I want to admit. Swimming in San Gabriel last week brought me hope in muscle memory and I want to get back to it again.

Been on the lookout for non-HOA pools/swim lessons/beginner-friendly lap pools to hit in the evenings. Any sized pool is okay, happy to pay an appropriate fee too.

Other than the Y Twin lakes, do we know of any pools in or around Leander?

I just had a crispy chicken sandwich from Culver’s and this is the first time I had their sandwich and forgot to ask for no lettuce. I ate it and didn’t realize till after. It had shredded ice berg lettuce on it. Has anyone had their lettuce and been ok? I know I sound silly but kinda panicking!

Looking for recommendations on Low or No tech Elementary schools in Leander, Georgetown or Cedar Park area.

- Please no judgements on my preference. If your kids are learning from iPads and they like it, then good for you and your family.

Thank you!

hey! welcome to our local hangouts 👋

i'm ana and i host a monthly social meetup for people in the leander/cedar park/liberty hill area. whether you've been here forever, just moved, or are just passing through—you should come!

struggling to make friends as an adult? same. we've built a solid community over the past couple years, and we'd love to meet you.

the basics:

when: last friday of every month, usually around 6pm where: we rotate between local bars and spots around the area (i always post the exact location!) who: 21+ and literally anyone. we've got people from their 20s to 50s. solo, plus a friend, even a pet if there's a patio finding us: look for the little reddit snoo sign on our table, or check the event post for where we're sitting

coming up:

aug 28 @ leanderthal (leander)

sept 25 @ all good (cedar park)

oct 30 @ halloween pub crawl (details coming soon)

what actually happens: we grab a table, order drinks/food/whatever, and just... hang out. no pressure on alcohol or eating—most places have solid non-alcoholic options. sometimes we play board games, sometimes we just vibe. you can show up late, leave early, whatever works for you.

do we just talk about reddit? nope—reddit barely comes up! we chat about music, movies, work, hobbies, whatever. plenty of people here don't even use reddit.

discord stuff: we have a private discord to keep things going between meetups. if you come to an event in person, just ask me or anyone else for an invite. once you're in, there's trivia nights, karaoke, potlucks, smaller hangouts throughout the month—all member-organized.

one rule: this is an inclusive space. no hate, no discrimination. period.

hit me up with questions or see you next time! 🍻

Thoughts? I think the night owl is a great spot but where do you go for upscale cocktails or a great date night? Don’t say estancia either. Not interested and have always hated Brazilian steak houses. Sorry not sorry. I’m always open to supporting local first but what is really in Leander? I can name a few in cedar park. Just curious. Thx.

sharing this.

Title. Moving to the Austin area soon and considering Leander. Any apartment recommendations are welcome, I'd love one with indoor hallways/lobby

Early childhood center on San Gabriel is causing traffic to back up really bad . Why can’t the city plan it a bit better ?

there are new developments EVERYWHERE!!! there are still empty office/housing space is everywhere, but there is still more crap going up

I am all for having everything we need around us but I can’t believe no one else thinks dozing entire city blocks from trees to concrete is a good idea?!!!!

I’m early 40s and been diagnosed with hypertension and have been on medication for close to a year now.

We’ve upped the dosage 3 times since the numbers were still higher than normal.
I’ve asked about glp-1s during every visit with my PCP.
But she says I’m not diabetic so it won’t be approved.

Family history of hypertension, diabetes and stroke. I’ve tried but weight management and stress have been a constant battle.

Is PCP still right? Or should I try alternate PCPs or tele medicine?
Please recommend PCPs in Norh Austin, Cedar Park, Leander area or tele health clinics that you have tried and have good experience with.

Hi! My name is Hamera and I cover Leander/Liberty Hill for Community Impact. I'm working on a story about the local impact of education savings account/education freedom accounts and I'm interested in learning about the experiences of families who received a voucher. Feel free to DM me here or email me at hshabbir@communityimpact.com!

edit to clarify: I'm also open to hearing from people who were awarded a voucher, but opted not to use it!

Hi All! I’m looking for infant daycare recommendations. I’ve looked into Ms Amy’s, The Learning Experience on RR, Celebree, & Primrose. I would love to hear your feedback/experiences as I’m having a hard time deciding where to enroll my little.

Thank you!

Do you or someone you know use the Red Line train for necessary travel to places besides downtown?

The Red Line will be temporarily closed from August 24-27. While there is a replacement bus service, it only stops at Leander, Lakeline, Howard and Downtown stations, in addition to Republic Square.

As an example, It can take approx. 90 minutes getting to ACCs Highland Campus for students & staff or the Domain for workers from Lakeline station, vs 30 and 45 minutes respectively normally with the train. This is also the first week of ACC & UT classes.

Does this disrupt your day, do you want the shuttle to stop at intermediate stations? Let CapMetro know. Call 512-474-1200, email customer.service@capmetro.org or leave a comment at https://www.capmetro.org/help-contact/customer-comments

I have like 3 small wasps nests forming on my patio and I need them gone, hopefully today or tomorrow 😓

Any recommendations for a company that can help???

Due to recent job changes, our family is having a hard time figuring out a morning transportation schedule for our middle schooler 2-3 days a week. We live too close for LISD bus service but don’t have the luxury of a flexible work schedule. Due to other circumstances walking/biking/etc is not at option. I saw students can ride free, even on Pickup. Does anyone have any experience using this as a method of getting your student to school and how complicated is it? I appreciate any helpful answers, but I’m not looking to discuss our circumstances and why we can’t carpool, walk/bike, etc. Thanks!

I am a woman in my early 20s who recently picked up basketball for fun, and play at a very beginner level. It's kind of hard to find people to play with when I'm learning how to play at this age, so I figured I would come here and see if anyone is interested in playing with me- please leave a message/reply!
