Neighborhoods in Caldwell County, TX

Caldwell County anchors the southeast corner of the Austin metro and is one of the most affordable options in Central Texas. Lockhart, the county seat, is famous as the "Barbecue Capital of Texas" (home to Kreuz Market, Smitty's, Black's, and Chisholm Trail) and has a well-preserved historic downtown square. Luling, to the south, is a smaller oil-and-gas town known for its Watermelon Thump festival. Both towns have seen renewed buyer interest from people priced out of Travis and Hays counties who want a slower pace without giving up an easy commute to Austin via Highway 183 or I-35. School districts include Lockhart ISD and Luling ISD. Browse every Caldwell County neighborhood below.
