Overview
Living in Georgetown
Georgetown has grown fast while keeping its small-town heart. Its Victorian-era downtown square was named "the most beautiful town square in Texas" by Texas Highways, and the blocks around it are full of bungalows and historic homes. Beyond downtown, communities like Wolf Ranch, Georgetown Village, Berry Creek, and Sun City Texas, a 55+ active adult community, offer everything from new construction to golf course homes.

Insider notes
What to know before you buy
Commute
Austin is a drive down I-35, which can be slow at rush hour. Plan your commute before you buy.
HOA and amenity fees
Many communities have HOA or amenity fees on top of property taxes. Compare total monthly cost.
Still growing
Georgetown is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, so expect ongoing construction and change.
