Directions
Leander is one
giant speed trap. Please use caution while driving through the
Leander area, especially County Road 279. The speed limit on CR
279 is 45 mph. I usually have to set my cruise control--I just
can't seem to control my car any other way, especially since it
is so easy to go fast on a seemingly deserted country road.
Deserted by everyone except the Williamson County Sheriff,
Leander Police and state troopers. If you go Bagdad Road the
speed limit changes to 40 mph. We now have 183A which makes it
incredibly easy to zip up to our kennel but you must have a Tex
Tag to be able to use it.
FROM THE NORTH:
Go South on 183. We are a few miles south of Seward
Junction (Hwy 29). Stay on old Hwy 183—do not take the toll
road. Turn right on San Gabriel Parkway (blinking yellow
light) that is right before you get to the HEB Plus. Follow
the rest of directions as above.
FROM THE SOUTH:
Go north on Hwy 183 and stay on it while it turns into 183A
(it's worth the toll). You'll cross FM 1431 and then the toll
road runs out and turns into frontage road. Go through the next
two lights (New Hope Road and Crystal Falls Parkway) and then
turn left at the third light which is FM 2243. Go left on FM
2243 until you reach the light at Hwy 183 and turn right. Drive
past the big HEB Plus and turn left at the blinking yellow light
after you pass the HEB. That is San Gabriel Parkway. Go .9
miles where it dead ends into Halsey and turn left at the stop
sign. Go to the end of Halsey (.6 miles) and turn right on
Bagdad Road. Proceed until you reach Live Oak (2.1 miles from
where Halsey dead ends into Bagdad Road (also known as County
Road 279). Turn right on Live Oak (which is across from a small
cemetery). Drive .7 miles and take the second left which is
Arthur Circle. Drive straight into our driveway (4205).
There's a black iron gate with Gold Ducat on it.
FROM I-35 AND/OR
THE EAST:
You can also get to us from I-35, from North or South. Take the
FM 2243 exit (also known as Old Leander Road). Go approximately
13 miles to Hwy 183 and turn right. Go past the HEB Plus on
your left and follow the above directions.
NEW
SHORTCUT (or how to avoid the long light at Bagdad and FM
2243):
When
driving north, instead of turning left in front of the HEB
(Old 2243 West), keep on going to the next left turn which
is San Gabriel Parkway. There are new lights there but they
are still covered and not activated yet (although it is only
a matter of time). After turning left on San Gabriel, go .9
miles and turn left at the stop sign on to Halsey. Go to
the end of Halsey (.6 miles) and turn right on County Road
279. Proceed until you reach Live Oak (2.1 miles from where
Halsey intersects County Road 279). Then follow the other
directions: i.e. drive .7 miles and take the second left
which is Arthur Circle. Drive straight into our driveway
(4205). There's a black iron gate with Gold Ducat on it.
Eventually San Gabriel Parkway will go all the way through
to the Toll Road.
