About Zip Code 78676

Zip code 78676 covers Wimberley and the surrounding Hays County Hill Country, about 40 miles southwest of downtown Austin where Cypress Creek meets the Blanco River. Wimberley itself is an incorporated city — it incorporated in May 2000 and operates as a General Law Type A city with a mayor and five council members — with a 2020 Census population of 2,839. The wider 78676 zip code area is considerably larger, with 15,822 residents and a median age of 50.3 (ACS 2024 5-year). The area sits in rugged limestone terrain among spring-fed creeks and stands of bald cypress, live oak and Ashe juniper, and Wimberley has long been known for its gallery district, monthly market and independent business culture.

Housing in 78676 runs from cottages near the town square to custom Hill Country homes on acreage. Neighborhoods and subdivisions include the neighboring incorporated city of Woodcreek — 1,770 residents and 910 housing units at the 2020 Census, built around an 18-hole golf course — along with Wimberley Springs and Rancho Cielo. Lot sizes outside Woodcreek commonly range from one to ten acres, and many properties rely on well water and septic systems rather than municipal utilities.
