HomeDirectoryIndependent LivingOverlook at Plum Creek

On Cromwell Drive in the Plum Creek neighbourhood beside the golf course, managed by DMA Companies. The operator describes it as senior affordable housing with one and two bedroom apartments and pet-friendly cottages, with applicants required to be 55 or older. This is independent rental housing; no personal or medical care services are described.

Overlook at Plum Creek is at 4850 Cromwell Drive in Kyle, inside the Plum Creek master-planned neighbourhood and adjoining the Plum Creek golf course, with some units advertised as having course views. It is managed by DMA Companies, an apartment management firm rather than a healthcare operator. The site displays an Equal Housing style disclosure and states applicants must be aged 55 or over. Housing is offered as one and two bedroom apartments plus separate pet-friendly cottage-style homes.

This is age-restricted affordable rental housing, not a licensed care setting. The operator describes it plainly as senior affordable housing apartments. There is no assisted living licence, no nursing staff, no medication management, no personal care and no memory care; residents live independently and arrange any health services privately. What is provided is housing and shared facilities: a community room with kitchen, a pool, a full-size fitness centre, an art studio, a library and computer centre, laundry facilities, nine-foot ceilings, walk-in closets, washer and dryer connections and built-in desks.

Families should read this as an independent lifestyle option for a parent who is fully self-sufficient, not as a step towards care. Two concrete logistics: the community operates a waitlist that prospective residents join through the contact form, and it publishes a monthly resident events calendar as a downloadable PDF. Leasing and tours run on 512-428-8558. Because eligibility is income-restricted affordable housing, applicants should ask the office directly about qualification criteria before touring.

Kyle in context

Kyle sits on the I-35 corridor in fast-growing Hays County, with newer purpose-built assisted living and memory care. Hays County grew 26.3 percent between 2020 and 2025, and senior housing is still catching up to that, so availability can be better here than in Travis County.

Questions Austin families ask

What's the difference between Type A and Type B assisted living in Texas?

Texas licenses assisted living by residents' ability to evacuate. Type A residents must evacuate without physical staff assistance, follow emergency directions, and not need nighttime attendance. Type B residents may need staff help evacuating, nighttime attendance, and help transferring from a wheelchair, but cannot be permanently bedfast.

Is memory care a separate license in Texas?

No. Memory care isn't a license type. Under Texas rule 26 TAC 553.27, any community advertising specialized Alzheimer's or dementia care must hold an Alzheimer's certification, and it must be licensed as Type B to qualify. Always ask to see the Alzheimer's certificate, not just the license.

How do I check if an Austin assisted living facility is licensed?

Search the Texas HHSC provider database. Use TULIP at tulip.hhs.texas.gov for current license status, and the legacy tool at apps.hhs.texas.gov/ltcsearch for inspection history and cited deficiencies. Both are free and public. Confirm the license type, Type A or Type B, matches your parent's actual care needs.
