About Georgetown
Georgetown is the county seat of Williamson County, about 30 miles north of downtown Austin along Interstate 35. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the city's population at 101,344 as of July 1, 2024, up from 67,176 in the 2020 Census; Georgetown crossed the 100,000 mark between 2023 and 2024. It was the fastest-growing U.S. city with at least 50,000 residents in the Bureau's 2022 estimates, growing 14.4 percent that year, and grew a further 10.6 percent in 2023. The city sits where the Blackland Prairie meets the eastern edge of the Texas Hill Country, with the San Gabriel River and its North and South Forks flowing through the area and converging east of town at Lake Georgetown, a 1,310-acre U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir. The terrain is gently rolling, with limestone bedrock underlying much of the area and elevations around 750 to 850 feet above sea level.
Georgetown's housing stock spans historic homes in the downtown square area and Sun City Texas, a Del Webb 55+ community on the western side of town that the community association reports houses about 17,000 residents. Master-planned subdivisions including Wolf Ranch, Cimarron Hills, and Berry Creek add mostly post-2000 construction on platted lots under active homeowners associations, while the older neighborhoods ringing the square hold early- and mid-20th-century houses on larger, irregular lots. Commercial corridors along I-35 and Williams Drive have expanded alongside the residential growth.
Georgetown ISD serves 13,988 students (2025-26) across 22 campuses; its high schools are Georgetown High, East View High, and Richarte High. The district earned a "B" overall TEA accountability rating, 80 out of 100, for 2025-26, following three consecutive years at C. A 12th elementary (Jessie Daniel Ames) and a fifth middle school (S.C. Marshall) are now scheduled to open in fall 2027, and a fourth comprehensive high school has been under construction since April 2025 (completion planned for May 2028) under the $649.5 million bond voters approved in May 2024. Southwestern University, chartered by the Republic of Texas in 1840 and described by the university as the first institution of higher learning in Texas, sits near the downtown square and enrolled 1,434 students in fall 2025.
The intersection of I-35 and SH-130 gives Georgetown strong transportation connectivity, and most commuters reach downtown Austin in 35 to 50 minutes. Major employers include St. David's Georgetown Hospital, Williamson County government offices, Georgetown ISD, the City of Georgetown, and Southwestern University. Inner Space Cavern, a cave system discovered during I-35 construction in 1963 and open for guided tours since 1966, operates as a tourist attraction near the I-35 corridor. The downtown square, built around the 1911 Williamson County Courthouse, hosts the Red Poppy Festival each April and serves as the commercial and social center of the historic district.
Living in Georgetown
Georgetown's workforce is split between local employment — county government, the school district, the hospital, and the university — and commuters heading south toward Round Rock and Austin. Sun City Texas, a deed-restricted 55+ community on the west side, accounts for a large share of the city's housing stock — the community association reports about 17,000 residents.
Daily life in Georgetown is shaped by the well-preserved downtown square, which hosts locally owned shops, restaurants, and the Georgetown Public Library. The San Gabriel River trail system provides miles of paved and unpaved paths for walking, running, and cycling. Blue Hole Park, a swimming spot on the South Fork of the San Gabriel River, draws crowds during the warmer months. Grocery options include H-E-B on Williams Drive, Randalls, and a Costco in the Wolf Ranch area. Dining around the square includes Tex-Mex, barbecue, and a number of coffee shops and bakeries. The Palace Theatre on the square screens films and hosts live performances, and the Georgetown Farmers Market operates on Thursdays from April through November.
