About Georgetown

Georgetown is a charming city north of Austin known for its beautifully preserved Victorian downtown square, Sun City active adult community, and Blue Hole swimming area. The city has been one of the fastest-growing in the nation with excellent quality of life.

<p>Georgetown is one of the most charming and fastest-growing cities in Texas, located approximately 30 miles north of Austin along the I-35 corridor. The city's crown jewel is its beautifully preserved Victorian-era downtown square — one of the most picturesque town squares in the state — lined with locally owned restaurants, antique shops, boutiques, and historic buildings. The nearby Blue Hole, a stunning natural swimming area on the South San Gabriel River, provides a refreshing escape and has become one of the area's most popular recreational destinations.</p> <p>Georgetown's housing market spans a wide spectrum, from historic homes near the downtown square to massive master-planned communities like Sun City — a nationally recognized 55+ active-adult community with multiple golf courses, fitness centers, pools, and over 50 clubs and organizations serving more than 12,000 residents. Other communities include Berry Creek, Cimarron Hills, and the newer Wolf Ranch and Westlake developments. Prices range from the mid-$200s in newer communities to over $1 million for custom homes and historic properties.</p> <p>Georgetown ISD earns strong academic ratings, and the city offers a small-town quality of life that is increasingly rare in the Austin metro. The city's commitment to renewable energy (it was one of the first cities in the nation to achieve 100% renewable electricity) reflects a forward-thinking approach to governance. I-35 provides a 30-to-40-minute commute to downtown Austin, and the growing local economy means more residents are finding employment within the city. For buyers seeking small-town charm, beautiful surroundings, and excellent value in the greater Austin area, Georgetown has earned its reputation as one of Texas's most livable cities.</p>
