The Outdoor Capital of Texas
Just 20 minutes south of Austin, off the beaten path, lies Buda, Texas – a friendly city with small town charm and big plans for the future that are equal parts pragmatic and idyllic. Steeped in area history, Buda holds fast to the values and rich potential that made it a choice location for the first settlers of the 1880s. The same qualities that made the city attractive in the past hold true today.
Safe affordable, wholesome Buda is a city centered on community, an oasis of country calm at the edge of civilization, unspoiled by the pace of Austin and San Antonio’s big city ways.
Put your feet up, and breathe easy – Buda’s city fathers have seen to it that its historic flavor, laid-back lifestyle, and family values will be protected and preserved for the next generation.
Buda was incorporated as a city in 1948. Buda is a Home Rule City governed by Council-Manager form of government. All public servants are elected city-wide and members must reside within the City limits.
