The Sendera Neighborhood In Austin, Texas

The Sendera neighborhood is located in south Austin just minutes from both I-35 and Mopac. The subdivision was established in the early 1990s and now offers more than 800 one- and two-story single-family homes that are surrounded by green areas. As the neighborhood was created there was a large focus on the environment – builders took extra care to ensure several existing trees were saved and new ones were planted. Now, many of the properties boast beautiful shade trees for a cozy environment.

The Sendera subdivision is a part of the larger Oak Hill area, which contains more than 20 neighborhoods and spans several zip codes on the south side of Austin. It’s bordered by David Lane to the north, Slaughter Lane to the south, Mopac to the west, and the Maple Run neighborhood to the east. Its proximity to I-35 and Mopac give residents a short commute to downtown Austin.

As you explore the neighborhood, you’ll find a quiet atmosphere, as homes are set away from Mopac and Slaughter to avoid the noise. All yards are neatly trimmed and community amenities are well maintained. Most homes range in size from 1,500 to more than 3,000 square feet. Prospective homebuyers will find home prices starting in the $200,000 range up to around $300,000.

Many homes boast brick and stone exteriors, vaulted ceilings, two-car garages, and spacious yards. All residents in the Sendera neighborhood are members of the Home Owners Association, which requires a small monthly fee. The Association creates and regulates neighborhood rules, plans events throughout the year, and more. It also enforces deed restrictions on properties, and mandates ordinances, and monitors the neighborhood watch program.

Residents of all ages will enjoy the many recreational opportunities available in the neighborhood. The Sendera Swim Center is reserved exclusively for residents and their guests. It offers a great family-friendly atmosphere with a playscape and picnic area. It also has a large pool with six swimming lanes, making it ideal for lap swimming or relaxing on a warm afternoon. There are also miles of bike trails, tennis courts, basketball courts, and even a disc golf course located throughout the area.

Most children in the Sendera neighborhood attend schools in the Austin Independent School District. This includes Cowan Elementary School, which has been recognized for their excellent academics and extra-curricular activities. Covington Middle School, Bailey Middle School, and Bowie High School are also located near the neighborhood.

For shopping and entertainment, there are plenty of opportunities within minutes. The Shops at Arbor Walk are located near William Cannon and MoPac, and feature several well-known stores including Home Depot, Marshalls, and DSW Shoe Warehouse, as well as dining venues like Mighty Fine Burgers and Chuck-E-Cheese. Escarpment Village is another popular spot on West Slaughter Lane. This shopping complex includes several upscale retail locations, dining venues, and a large H.E.B. where residents can do their grocery shopping.

For a relaxing, family-friendly atmosphere and fine community amenities, take a closer look at the Sendera Neighborhood in South Austin.

Internationally based, Peter Croker travels across Europe, the US, Asia and Australia annually delivering seminars, teaching schools and working with teachers wanting to improve results for their own students. Peter has also worked with a number of PGA pros who would rather not let it be known where their secrets come from. A little research will reveal who they are… All over the world, Peter’s Professional Teaching “Students” are sought out by golfers and recognized by their golfing association peers as being Top Teachers in their sections. In 2002 Harper Collins published his Path to Better Golf Book. He has been featured in Golf Digest, appeared on the Golf Channel and written about in many golf publications worldwide. This DVD set introduces you to the definitions used, an understanding of “cause and effect” and a new understanding of how proper alignments help create truly effortless yet powerful results. The First Lesson is comprised of the definitions as well as demonstrations which will help the viewer understand how for years golfers have been confused by “illusions” related to lag and weight shift. The next lesson covers Putting. A number of important drills are demonstrated. Along with the drills, Peter discusses how to gain a consistent stroke and understand the mechanics at work on the green. Chipping is the next lesson in the series. In it you will learn the proper grip, stance, posture and alignments necessary to build a great short game, and the foundation for the full swing as well. You will discover the impact zone, and how compressing the golf ball leads to distance control. Several major breakthroughs await the patient student in this section. Following on from the Chipping lesson is Pitching. In this lesson, the student learns the proper method to load the hands in the back swing, maintain balance throughout the swing and stay relaxed. The student will gain an entirely new appreciation for how the hands help create the swing and allow the body to turn back and through resulting in a well struck shot. The final lesson on Disc One is Full Swing Part One. In this lesson Peter reviews grip, stance, posture as well as the other component parts of the swing such as forward press, waggle and takeaway. Disc Two continues the Full Swing Lessons with Parts Two through Four. These lessons demonstrate the body pivot, top of the back swing, going “A to B”, start and end of impact, release, follow-through and finish. Drills associated with this section will enable the student to get beyond the thinking. Finally, watch Peter as he plays a few holes and follow along as he talks you through his though process and course management ideas. No complete catalog
